      Prediabetes/diabetes medication which creates drastic weight loss, so then was marketed solely for overweight people and was so popular it was sold out everywhere

      ELY5 attempt:

      The thing it does is protect the feeling full chemical made after you eat by blocking the things that normally clean it out, so the feeling full chemical lasts longer and you feel full more and less hungry.

      That stops your brain thinking, “I’m hungry, grab that muffin for quick energy.”
