The ends are the same and the means are different. The metabolic actions between the two are similar. It's not an unfair comparison. One might have adverse longterm side effects and the other might not. This is something further study could help answer.

I mean that the reason you'd need semaglutide is that you can't keep to a diet. If you could keep to keto IF, you wouldn't need the drug in the first place. It's not option A or option B. It's "if A fails, fall back to B".

Not everyone knows of the potential metabolic benefits of keto IF including many practicing doctors. Some people might just opt for semaglutide if they hear of that first, which seems likely since Ozempic is trending in popular culture. What would be wrong with a study comparing the two exactly?
