[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  I’ve been a personal trainer for 30 years.  Masters in Exercise Physiology.  No drug will ever work.  No fad diet will ever work. No shiny new exercise program will ever work.  Healthy, strong bodies are built through hard work and discipline.  People may lose for a few months or even years.  But it always comes back. Changing your body requires a complete lifestyle change.  Few people are willing to put in the effort. [/quote]

I realize you feel threatened for your livelihood but the empirical evidence suggests these drugs are highly effective.[/quote]

I agree, in the short term. But, they've been around only a couple of years and are being marketed similar to insulin and other drugs that require regular use for a lifetime. I don't think we know if they are sustainable over a lifetime or what it looks like when other needs and medical issues layer on top. (Not saying I know they won't make a large dent in obesity ... just that it's early.)[/quote]

Not the PP but FYI most of this class of drugs has been available and in trials for around a decade. It’s just the authorization for weight loss that’s new (except for Mounjaro, which is in fact fairly new). [/quote]
