This is what AI is supposed to be for, parsing and presenting data.

As the article points out, whether on the drugs or not, anyone that eats less will struggle to get nutrients unless you actively pursue them. It’s just a matter of common sense and medical diligence.

Yes on both.

Reading this makes me happy.

Thank you. Just what I needed.

So why are you here? It’s a topic that doesn’t even remotely affect you.

I’m curious, are you on the weight loss drugs, have a family member on the weight loss drugs are just trying to be a sanctimonious edgy poster?

I know people that bariatric treatment like a miracle drug and refuse to adjust, consciously or subconsciously, and I know people that have changed their whole lifestyle and have subsequently enjoyed the lasting success it has brung. No one is saying anything is easy, but you absolutely have to try. Opportunities are there to be taken.

I think if you limit your thoughts like that, you’re kinda limiting the scope of your success. Your dosage is tiny and so you’re yet to see just how much of an opportunity these drugs can provide. Once the hunger pangs are managed, you’ll have the ability to be in the driving seat and everything will change.

The place for weight loss drugs is in the hands of anyone that needs them. The benefits to society are wider than just the individual. You can tackle things like A&E waiting times. Do we need support systems in place too, absolutely, but if someone needs help, give them.

Oh fuck off. So now we’re gonna gatekeep health and fitness, because you think it’s too easy. Absolutely fuck off!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations.

If you’re still hungry, it means your dosage is still a little low. You’re on Metformin too right?

Which is why I find comments like

Ozempic is basically opioid crisis 2.0.

Perplexing. Weight loss jobs are supposed to aid you, not carry you. Even in the article, one of the women said she came off the jabs and started binge eating again and I’m like, “WTF, why are you coming off the drug then?” Society keeps stoking up fear regarding these drugs instead of accepting them as a societal win. I liked what the article said about providing support, but I also think effort needs to go into, rather than just stopping, step people down and ween them off so the change feels seamless.

I would imagine that you can mitigate the issues with adequate lifestyle changes.

Dunno why anyone would vote this down. This is how progress works.

Each to their own. For now you can re-enable the old menu via the secret settings.

It’s one of those things where if you don’t try, there’s no chance. I’ve had a few feature requests and bug fixes implemented.

Probably worth requesting
