It’s diet that causes weight loss.
The drug didn’t kill diet, just took a shortcut. Killing appetite takes out diet without the pesky business of forming good habits.

- audunw 2y agoObesity causes epigenetic changes in fat cells that make it much harder to stay lean if you’ve been obese before. So it’s not the fault of the drug or the people using them that they balloon back up. The exact same thing happens on diet programs. The only long term options right now is to stay on the drug, or to build very strict habits and a system for sticking with those habits. But I’m not sure there exists a program that can guarantee that it’ll build such good habits that anyone will stick with them even through stressful phases of their life. In other words we don’t have a great solution yet. Cheaper and better drugs seems like the only thing that will finally solve the epidemic
