not even overweight myself, but I hope these drugs are safe as well as effective.

I’ll believe it if it works on Chris Christie and Stacey Abrams.

Alabama should ban forks. That’ll fix the problem!

Low-carb diets like keto work, not only for weight loss but also to control cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.

Why people would rather take pills with unknown side effects is a mystery (well, not really...humans are pigs).

Well, after the “safe and effective” vaccines, the first thing I thought was what a brilliant way to depopulate the unhealthy member of society that will cost the system a lot of money. Another drug taken for their own good that winds up killing many. Yes, I’m jaded.

And the light at the end of the tunnel might be the actual light at the end of the tunnel.

Eating well and getting plenty of exercise would go a long way.

It’s only been recently that the obesity epidemic has exploded, especially after the FDA’s new food pyramid that pushes carbs so heavily.

No. These drugs are nothing more than profit vehicles with guaranteed negative health effects if patients don’t address the actual cause(s) of their obesity..

The only way I can see a drug decreasing weight is if it curbs your appetite or increases your metabolism. Either way I would want to see 10 years of test results before I would trust it.

From what I’ve read, they cause one to lose as much muscle as fat. And the benefit ends when you stop taking the drug.

Keto and fasting can give the same results without the muscle loss, for life, for free - but then, one needs to control how one eats!

Semaglutide users lose weight...mostly muscle mass. When they stop using it, the appetite suppression goes away and the fat cells eagerly feed on the undisciplined consumption of food.

It’s bullsh¡t. Diabetics who need these drugs cannot get them thanks to all of these lazy a§holes. My boss just had to tell a diabetic that our supplier can’t get their meds becuase doctors are prescribing these without guardrails or incentives to chanhe behavior and diet.
