My mom has been on a GLP1 for a very long time (she has type 2 diabetes). It's brought her BMI down significantly but she is still obese, just not morbidly obese.

The diabetic dose is much smaller than the weight loss dose. My dad still lost about 10lbs the first year he was on the diabetic dose though. He was already normal weight however.

The meds don’t work for everyone and they are expensive.

I only had 30 lbs to lose (155 to 125) but it’s still not easy. And if I go off meds I gain weight pretty quickly.

I think it’s the price.
At my kids school plenty of wealthy moms who were maybe a touch plump are now skeletal. But we drove through Kentucky this week and fat people were absolutely everywhere.
This drug isn’t being used by those who really need it.

This.

They’re trying to get all the vain, lazy upper class people to pay up for a few more years first…

O/T but for those who tried but didn’t work what’s plan B?

People with money can buy thinness now. Poor people cannot.

We should put it in the water so everyone can benefit.
