      >The bottom line is that new weight loss medications aren’t a quick fix for people living with obesity, said Dr. Sonja Reichert, an associate professor of family medicine at Western University in London, Ont., who treats and studies obesity and diabetes.  

      >“Many of my patients are surprised when I tell them that these medications are long term and this study just really reinforces that message,“ Reichert said.

      >“It makes sense because obesity is a chronic disease and like most of our other chronic diseases, like high blood pressure, we wouldn’t imagine stopping high blood pressure medications once blood pressure is at target.“

      You don’t just use the weight loss drug and expect it to be magic . You would need to make some life style changes .
      Start training and so on . They do help a lot but you still need to put in the work and build a better relationship with food .
      I was able to lose 100 lbs thanks to glps and have never been as healthy as I am now . I have since titrated my dose down and feel confident enough to get off it completely at this point .

    3. For context, gaining 10 pounds in one year only requires 100 cal per day above maintenance.

      Conflicted. People I personally know who have been obese their entire adult lives experienced life changing weight loss while on these medications. My brother and sister in law who were morbidly obese have lost nearly 100lbs each and their eldest son (who was developing juvenile obesity) has lost weight as a result of changes to family eating habits. I’d rather they be on the medication long term if need be then for them to suffer the long term effects of obesity.

    5. I don’t think you may simply stop taking these drugs and expect the weight to stay the same without doing any life style changes. Once you become overweight, even though you may loose weight through diet,exercise,treatments and so on, once you stop these, the body has the tendency to add the weight back. The reality is that it is not easy to maintain the weight loss long term.

      Ozempic does help with more than just weight loss. It helped me quit drinking entirely. I’m not t
      sure how many people know that it helps with addiction.

      Ozempic makes you feel really full, which makes it nearly impossible to over drink. My life has improved drastically, I started Ozempic in 2022 and have kept my weight down and my alcohol addiction (of 15+ years) is no longer an issue. I have stopped Ozempic over a year ago. People love to hate on Ozempic but it has improved so many peoples lives.

      I’ve seen cases where this happened and I can tell why.

      People took drugs but didn’t change their habits, keep eating junk food and drink soda…

      It’s not a magic pill, it’s like someone paying all your debt, it’s your chance to change things and habits otherwise you’ll have the same results.

      When you haven’t learned to eat low-carb then yeah duh no control over glucose mgmt equals Trouble.

    9. I had a different outcome

      Lost 35Lbs after 9mo on OZ

      Quit in early may ….. needed a break from side effects

      Gained back 2Lbs in 8 months

      GLP1’s taught me what a portion actually was!

      Well, duh. If you don’t change your habits and lifestyle **permanently**, you will gain the weight back. Same as any other diet.

      I mean within two years they regain 24 pounds and their heart worsens, it seems like this study is coloured by people who weren’t overweight but prob only healthy or near to and used hormone correction when that wasn’t the issue like I get if you think losing 25 pounds is a lot, but in reality these drugs are affecting some people to lose 100+ and then need to continue injections because it’s clear there was always a hormone imbalance contributing as an underlying issue

    12. People forget a lot of the loss is also muscle mass that are incredibly hard to regain afterwards, especially with age.

      A friend of mine is a dietician.
      One of her clients went on ozempic.

      After a couple of weeks she came in and complained that her appetite was reduced and didn’t like it.

      She thought she could eat anything she wanted in any quantity and the ozempic would magically still have her lose weight.

      Ozempic is a glorified appetite suppressant. Why did anyone think they’d ever be able to ‚come off it‘?

    15. queenaemmaarryn on

      yea that’s how it works…diet and exercise are great things…more people should try that instead of giving $$$$$$$$ to big pharma

    16. brilliant_bauhaus on

      For people who need it and live with chronic illnesses or have food noise it’s a godsend. But I believe the drug should always be paired with a dietician if you’re using it for addictive eating, binge eating, and food based weight loss.

    17. Turns out you can’t just hit yourself with a magic pen; you gotta actually develop good habits.

    18. Method__Man on

      Shocking!! Who would have guess that simply taking some drug that makes pharmaceutical companies hundreds of billions of dollars would have been sketchy

      remember: get thin quick scams have been around forever… yall just fell for the newest one

    19. Ketchupkitty on

      Well no shit, taking a drug doesn’t change your habits.

      Weight loss on these drugs makes you lose more skeletal mass than traditional weight loss.

      The weight loss is good for long term health outcomes but not all weight loss is the same.

    20. Party_Amoeba444 on

      I thought this was already known.  It’s a tool but not the solution.  Without changes it’s won’t work long term

      I’ve heard it said that some people are genetically predisposed to have stronger cravings than others more often. Their natural baseline is to overeat. The weight loss drugs are fighting their genetics and when they go off them their genetics win.

      It’s like that for some people, these weightless drugs will have to be a lifelong commitment to prevent them from overeating
