[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't wait to see what the long term effects of GLP1s are. So far they say there are ongoing  nausea, constipation, and diarrhea, gallbladder problems, pancreatitis, and thyroid issues. Some mentioned muscle wasting and neurological problems like anhedonia. Sound fun! [/quote]

But the thing is these side effects need to be balanced against the well known negative effects on your body of obesity. It’s not appropriate for a normal weight celebrity or average person to be on weight loss drugs (but people are still doing it obviously). But for a person who is morbidly obese or just regular obese … the benefits of losing weight outweigh the risks of constipation/diarrhea, muscle wasting, and gallbladder issues that might pop up. Because obese people tend to struggle with those things more than normal weight people anyway so you might as well be normal weight while you have those problems. [/quote]

With any medication the risks and benefits are both weighed. Always. Not sure why people are so beyond confused about this, aside from being blinded by hatred of people in larger bodies. [/quote]

I think the point is that the massive media and marketing push behind these drugs is such that people aren’t weighing the risks and benefits. They are only focusing on the outcome they want and ignoring and freaking out at any suggestion that caution might be warranted. [/quote]

Well, it's a good thing "these drugs" aren't OTC then. [/quote]
