Skeletal 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.
