Sounds like they eat the wrong things. So learning to eat properly and stopping with GLP after a while sounds more reasonable to me.

If telling people to eat better fixed obesity, we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic.
I mean the idea is that GPT helps to reduce appetite while you learn to eat properly. Not to take GPT the rest of your life.

Why would this sentence make any sense?

Is this advice coming from personal experience of significant diabetes and weight reversal or just online reading informed opinion?

I lost weight by changing my eating habits (which definitely wasn't easy but doable) and have family who used GPT with different results. So a little of both I guess.

I stand by my words that just using Ozembic without changing your habits on the way can't be the right way. And as far as I know studies suggest that that is actually the case. Like with any diet really
