If you know, you know. Listen to what people are saying. It helps with addiction and this is an addiction. People used to say the same about addiction, just stop. Not always that simple.[/quote]

Using Zepbound as an example, in the 72-week study of individuals with obesity who also used diet and exercise as weight loss tools during the study period, the group taking the highest dose of Zepbound lost 36.2% of their body weight. The placebo group lost 1.5% of their body weight - in 72 weeks.  For a 250-pound person, that's less than 4 pounds in 18 months versus 90 pounds with the medication.

Look at the vast majority of Biggest Loser competitors. During the show, they lose weight when they are free to devote all their attention to diet and exercise. When they return to real life, that's not sustainable, so they gain. The amount of "willpower" required to maintain a low-calorie diet over time varies from person to person and depends on many factors. We can preach diet and exercise, but what happens when someone gets injured and can't exercise? Or when they are sick or chronically sleep-deprived? There's also the fact that metabolism slows when someone loses weight and that losing weight can trigger hormonal changes that make you want to eat more.

Simply put, medication isn't needed to learn new eating and exercise habits, but it makes it more likely that people can implement and sustain improvements in nutrition and fitness while losing weight.  [/quote]
