Of all the information I've seen about Semaglutides the only people I've seen it keep the weight off are: 1. High end personal trainers clients, for which semaglutide was used in conjunction with the trainer's workout regiment and diet. 2. Body builders and models, for which semaglutides simply replaced caffine/adderall/ephedrine. The drugs can't induce the lifestyle change needed to keep the weight off (nor will it give you the motivation to go to the gym and build muscle). I'm thinking for now, it's a race to see how cheap these drugs can get and ensuring they have no side effects from very long term use. Overall I think the drugs are a net good and I'm interested for seeing the effects for myself, but I'm in good shape and $500/mo is still steep.

Have to say I basically take the opposite on everything you say here. I know quite a few people who aren't super active (myself included) who took it and went off and kept the weight off. And they actually do induce lifestyle changes, which is the fascinating part. Not for everyone, but the impulse control changes are dramatic. I had a friend credit him going to therapy for the first time in his life and reading for the first time since high school to it which was crazy, but makes sense because it also helped him quit smoking weed so he had a lot more time.

  Do you know which drug they took? Do you know if it was a compound? I'm a layman here and I'm interested in the success stories. Ignoring the weightloss, I find the life quality improvements properties of the drug fascinating and it would be my number 1 reason for trying it.

    The best is definitely Tirzepatide, it's both stronger and easier to tolerate. You can find it online from more or less reliable sources.

This seems to starkly contradict the current data on glp-1 agonists.
