Dieting forces you focus the actual problem which could be lack of cooking skills, poor shopping choices, lack of accurate information, lack of available healthy foods, poor lifestyle choices or much more.
Ozempic/Wegovy and the like while they have their place, are simply useful tools in the hands of doctors. They are not a magic bean that will cure over eating but they are being marketed and discussed as that.
There are almost no short cuts in this world of losing weight but there are extremely worthwhile trade off’s.

- i_am_jl 9mo ago>but only as long as you take them. This is why these drugs are a treatment, not a cure.
- Aurornis 9mo ago> They are not a magic bean that will cure over eating All evidence points to them being very effective in reducing food intake. That’s how they work. The fact that users return to their previous eating habits when discontinued is not surprising at all.
- 46493168 9mo ago> They are not a magic bean that will cure over eating but they are being marketed and discussed as that. Where and by whom? I keep seeing this claim but every ad I see mentions diet and exercise. The subreddits for these drugs are all full of people talking about diet and exercise.
- denverllc 9mo agoSure they mention diet and exercise in the same way gambling or alcohol ads recommend being “responsible”, or how TikTok talks about their automatic screen limiting time functionality, which they love to promote but internally know does nothing.
- 46493168 9mo agoI’m not sure where the goalposts are in this discussion. My doctor assigned me a dietitian. My insurance company assigned me 12 weekly modules that cover diet, exercise, mental health and cooking before they would pay for it. The ads I see on the subway for Ro have the words “with diet and exercise” in bold letters on them. So I just don’t know what to make of this “magic beans” deception claim. It’s starting to feel like a certain group of people, for reasons I can’t discern, are desperate for some kind of “gotcha.”
