It is absolutely magical, and I can say based on extensive blood work and a MRI that the changes were extraordinarily beneficial for me, personally.
"Unhealthy weight loss" is a stupid phrase. When you're morbidly obese and lose a third of your body weight, your life expectancy changes dramatically.
You do need to take it for the rest of your life. But, so what? If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, you need to take an ACE inhibitor or statin the rest of your life too. These are chronic conditions. Obesity is too.
- Llamamoe 3y agoSkeletal muscle is a very, very important organ, and there's way more to health risks of obesity than having too much fat tissue alone. Take PPAR-gamma agonists(Pioglitazone, Rosiglitazone, CBD): They cause weight gain but are one of the most effective diabetes treatments. Why? Because they generate healthy, insulin-sensitive subcutaneous fat and increase the insulin sensitivity of other cells in your body. Saying it doesn't matter how you lose the weight doesn't matter is plain ridiculous. Losing 1kg of visceral fat would be amazing, but 1kg of muscle? That's fucking bad for you. What I see is yet another expensive(profitable) way to manage symptoms while discouraging healthcare as a field from looking for or treating root causes. Not that it's doing much of that as it is.
