    look at ozempic. everyone loves it at first! miracle drug for weight loss! but the issue is… people go it, then go off it, and gain the weight back because they have changed nothing about their lifestyle. They have just tried to cheat the consequences of their choices rather than doing the hard work of changing their lifestyle.

    so unless people plan to stay on ozempic the rest of their life…

    It is wild to me that a clearly chronic disease (metabolic syndrome) which suddenly has a treatment has a bunch of people advocating to stop the treatment. It like If someone nearsighted told me they could read a sign with their contacts in and I’m like cool you can see now, no more need for contacts.

      No, i’m taking about people who use it to lose weight without having to diet or exercise. not diabetes patients who use it for it’s intended purpose instead of it’s side-effects.

      people who use it this way are not supposed to use it long term, let alone the rest of their life. they simple see it as something to use for six months, drop the weight, and then go right back to where they were six months ago.
