[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Sounds like these new drugs are what I need.[/quote] Here’s an article that helps explain how they work: https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/new-medications-treat-obesity[/quote] That was a really good article. I thought this quote was insightful: [quote] When people think, ‘If I can will myself to not be hungry, to not have cravings, to control what I eat every moment of every day, I will lose the weight and keep it off,' it's like saying, ‘If I just concentrate hard enough, my blood sugar levels will become normal,’" Dr. Jastreboff says. People need to know that there are physiological reasons why that strategy doesn’t work, she adds. “Obesity is a complex metabolic disease with a clear biological basis, and we can treat it with targeted therapy aimed at the biology.”[/quote][/quote]
