What happens when they come off of this drug? Does the weight just go back on again?
Underlying lifestyle changes are the proper way to lose weight and keep it off. The sort of lifestyle changes that most non-fat people have been making all of their lives. That's why many people criticise shortcuts like this. It's a lazy solution to (mostly) laziness.
- bradknowles 3y agoNo, it's genetic. No amount of willpower will save you from your genes. Try permanently changing the color of your skin. Or changing your gender so that you can have children.

- bradknowles 3y agoAre you always this rude? Are you capable of posting anything without being rude?
- sw104 3y agoAbsolute bollocks. Saying weight gain or difficulty with losing weight is genetic is (for the vast majority of people) a coping mechanism for lack of willpower.
- bradknowles 3y agoProve it. Until then, it's clear that you have no useful experience on the subject.
- sw104 3y agoIf you're arguing that weight gain or a sense of willpower are entirely genetic, I think the onus is on you to provide proof. Introducing the likening of weight loss, something that everybody is capable of, to changing skin colour and changing your gender/sex is absurd. Eating below your energy expenditure will cause you to lose weight. Every time somebody decides to eat a (or many) burger or a donut, they have the choice not to do that. Genetics aren't forcing anyone.
- poulpy123 3y agoNo, it's psychological in most of these cases
- hombre_fatal 3y agoSo if someone can never change, they deserve what they get? Even though some medication can help them? We're all dealt the exact same hand of psychological cards to work with?
- sw104 3y agoThey can change, with less food (mostly) and more exercise. It's not beyond the realms of possibility for overweight/obese people to lose weight. Introducing a drug like this with no lifestyle changes will just lead to eat, inject, repeat.
