I'm fine with GPL-1 agonists, they seem great, not trying to argue against them. This is an age old problem in the obesity treatment and research community. It never seems to go away. It's come up with bariatric surgery, with other methods, and now GPL1- agonists. The issue for me is that "telling people to eat less" is sort of a strawman in some ways. It doesn't work. What does work, however, at least according to evidence I've seen, is giving people strategies for losing weight, therapy, support, and so forth. It doesn't work for everyone but it does for some. I would rather people try that first as it can be self-sustaining and doesn't require medication. I'm not opposed to the medication or people using it, in fact I think it's a good thing, but it seems a little dangerous to me to create a culture where people are just told "take this pill, pay lots of money for it, because nothing else will work" which is not actually true. I don't think we're at that point but it's easy for me to imagine.
