I don't think it's true. Obesity increase hunger, prevent you to walk and/or exercise for long stretch of time (chaffed thighs, you don't want to experience it), and disturb your sleep which in turn increase your hunger. It's easy to become obese when you're overweight and have bad eating habits, and it's very rare for people like me that were in very good shape at 18 to be clinically obese at 27 (it took a heart issue, then a badly broken ankle (4 years of rehab) to do it). If the drug fix your food issues for 2 years, you're set imho.
