Wegovy is fairly new as a weight-loss drug (it’s a rebranded diabetes treatment), but it’s taking the weight-loss world by storm because it actually works.
In its clinical trial for weight-loss treatment in 2021, they tested it against a placebo and told both groups to combine the meds with lifestyle changes, and over the 68-week trial those on placebos lost an average of under 3% body weight while those on Wegovy lost almost 15%.
Yes and no. It actually causes weight loss, sometimes a large amount of weight loss. But it’s being sold as ‘this will make you thin’ and, in general, that isn’t true. You are not going to go from obese to thin if you just take Wegovy and wait for the pounds to drop off.
Also, it does nothing to help people develop a healthy lifestyle.
I didn’t even know they sold drugs until coming into this thread.
