This is why on paper nobody is prescribed these drugs until they have followed a program to change lifestyle things like diet. You mention "re-selling Mounjaro" - which implies they just took the drugs without the programs, is that correct? Did you expect anything else?

But for many it's considered a shortcut and there's a big network of dubious online shops and weight loss clinics that sell it. It's not unlike crash / fad diets in that regard.

Most people would already benefit from lifestyle adjustments, but those are hard to do for most people - for starters, most people don't even have regular eating habits to begin with, no baseline to even make adjustments to.

The buyers used it as crash diet aceelerator… Lose 6 kg before vacation to look better on the pictures. I know I doctor who prescribes it for these cases too. Looks like, that this medicine is heavily abused.
