That "not changing habits" thing has nothing to do with Ozempic. Based on my experience with the drug (taken six months for type 2 diabetes), you won't lose any weight at all on it UNLESS you change your habits. What the drug does is make it easier for you to change your habits!

This is the entire point. The medication exists to change behavior. That’s why this medication exists and the habit changes are possible because of the meds.

It’s like saying that depressed people just need to change their habits. And their anti-depressant meds just make it easier to change habits. But that the meds have nothing to do with habits.

yeah eating less is way easier to do if you lose interest in food , as this drug tends to do
