As a Medical Underwriter, I’ve also seen the rise of Metformin for weight loss over the last couple years.
Until heart scan revealed a calcium score of 279 (300 is moderately high risk).
So, cut the sugar by 75% and began a better exercise routine. (cardio beyond long walks, & back to the weights.)
Was there any effect on libido? Asking for a friend.
Big Pharma coming up with a solution to problems caused by their friends in Big Agra and government. What a surprise.
Weight loss is simple math. If you take in more calories than you burn you will gain weight. If you take in less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Simplified: Eat less and get your butt off the couch!
Let me guess, it will be available in 5 years, the same time there will also be a treatment for cancer & baldness, solar & wind will be competitive with Fossil fuels and flying cars will be common.

Many diabetics like myself already take this drug under the brand name Ozempic. It has helped me keep my A1c under 6.5.
However I will note the dosage used in the obesity study was 2.4 times higher than the maximum dosage given to diabetics.
Since I started taking Victoza rather than Lantus my weight has dropped 77 pounds. That’s far more than 14%.
“For the first time, people can achieve through drugs what was only possible through weight-loss surgery.”
Many people lose weight without weight-loss surgery. In fact, that is the overwhelming way people lose weight — by not putting it in in the first place. Furthermore, it is noted that carbohydrates particularly leads to obesity — as well as the diabetic process of insulin resistance triggered by the consumption of carbohydrates.
However, the dietary advice given is to consume as many carbohydrates as possible — as often as possible. Maybe that has something to do with the epidemic of obesity — making people particularly susceptible to all kinds of further infections and diseases?
Best current way to lose weight is to purchase all your groceries and other eats using those $1400 checks from dear leader Premier Harris-Biden...
Or like we did in the seventies take speed. 😏
