GLP-1 agonists are the future of weight loss really. It is the only solution that is not too expensive in terms of time, mental energy, and suffering to succeed long term.

- halfmatthalfcat 4y agoThey’re a tool unless you want to live your whole life taking a pill. Once your off the pill, the weight starts to come back. You need a foundation on how to be self-sufficient (diet/exercise) long term still. Unless one is just willing to abdicate their lives to something that is completely in their control. GLP-1 will be great for the extremely obese to survive while they develop lifelong healthy habits, but it will also enable the lazy for a quick fix (which isn’t actually a fix).
