How will it work, do you just take the pills and then just go on doing whatever you like? I have people in my family who take semaglutide, and they actually had to get off it because it ran out and people with diabetes actually needed it.
I believe they gained weight again but they also have side effects from it so wouldn't it just be better to lose the weight without the pills, as usual?
- anovikov 3y agoWell, that's the point: you just don't discontinue it. Supply issues will be nailed soon.
- bamboozled 3y agoMaybe you could just fix the actual problem which is eating shit and exercising? I get that in very rare cases this is hard but it is possble.
- anovikov 3y agoThis is simply not how obesity works. Yes initially it's the person's own fault but when it happens, it is self-reinforcing and sticky and can't really be countered by any (previously) known lifestyle or medical interventions short of yes, stomach surgery or a couple kinds of pills approved in 1980s that turned out to be too harmful to be used and were later retracted.
- hendersoon 3y agoNobody knows why some people are obese and some aren't. It may start with willpower and then reinforce metabolism, sure. Or maybe you caught a virus when you were two years old that disposed you to be fat for life. Or for whatever reason, a specific flora of gut bacteria grew in your belly. We just don't know yet.
