    Buddy…

    These drugs work by stopping you from feeling hunger…

    There’s no “lifestyle change” to make that permanent.

    You know what happens when you stop any of these meds?

    Subjects gain a pound a month and usually are back at starting weight within two years.

    Being on the meds doesn’t “build willpower” or even habits. You don’t eat because you literally can’t feel hungry.

    On top of gaining the weight back, you do serious and possibly permanent damage to a couple important systems in your body. The longer on the meds, the more your body adapts to it, and the more fucked up it’ll be without it.

    In 50 years this will be like the ladies who used uranium makeup or eye dropped belladonna.
