No, they probably won't. While these drugs are an amazing breakthrough, you still develop tolerance to them and have to keep raising the dose. Also, if you decide to stop, good luck maintaining that low weight without any of the fit lifestyle habits people spend years developing.
- twelve40 4y ago> you still develop tolerance to them and have to keep raising the dose i googled briefly but didn't find any links that say you need to perpetually up the Wegovy dose, beyond the initial ramp-up of a couple of months. Could you share a source for that? > without any of the fit lifestyle habits people spend years developing That's probably true, but at the link above in the comments, it says that currently people exercise more than before, but that doesn't do anything to even slow the nonstop obesity rise in the population, let alone reverse it. So years of developing habits, while undoubtedly a big health benefit for those who persist, don't really help the bigger picture. > People are exercising more today than they were 10 or even 20 years ago. Contrary to stereotypes, more than 50% of Americans meet the HHS guidelines for aerobic exercise. But obesity is still on the rise.
- Beaver117 4y agoI was just reading the subreddit r/Semaglutide. It seems very common for people to start at a low dose and increase it as needed and when they feel like hunger is coming back. But some posters say they are at the max dose and are starting to feel hungry again.
