It's amazing that this isn't common sense to most people.

I foresee the overwhelming majority of people on these drugs regaining everything (and maybe even going beyond their original weight), because, just like traditional dieting, they don't actually change their lifestyle. They're just giving their system a shock, which when it goes back into fat storing mode will overcompensate due to the shock of the loss.

The nihilist in me doesn't believe that many people are truly capable of massive lifestyle change. Once you've lived a certain way for 20 or 30 years, any change beyond that is just a fleeting thing. Yo-yo weight loss and gain just proves that. It only becomes a real lifestyle change after many years.

Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned eating a tub of ice cream at night, if anything, all that sugar is going to fuck your system up beyond what any drug can repair.
