[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I never understand this “when something seems too good to be true” attitude that is only for some issues, like weight loss, but not others. I’m not overweight and I don’t know anything about these weight loss drugs. But I do have high blood pressure and I take a pill for it that lowers my bp. No one ever tells me that my bp meds are “too good to be true.”

You’re making a huge assumption about what people think. Just because you lose weight doesn’t mean you’re healthy, period. It’s very similar to when people go on meds for anxiety, depression, but don’t do the therapy work. It’s a Band-Aid.[/quote]

Okay, losing weight is not necessarily going to make you healthy on its own. But guess what, being obese is a huge barrier to health. Why not remove that barrier and then focus on the next? Not everyone is going to do Orange theory and eat kale and salmon daily, but if you can get a huge swath of people to go from a BMI of 35 to BMI 24 you are going to reduce a huge number of health issues on a major scale. Again, this whole "well its still not HEALTHY" is a red herring. Think about this in epidemiological terms--how to get the greatest number of people healthier in this country is to address obesity. Point blank. [/quote]

Right.  I feel like cholesterol/blood pressure drugs are the obvious analogy.  Like, having low cholesterol alone does not make you healthy.  But having high cholesterol is dangerous for your health and the drugs help.  Should we not give people cholesterol medication because it's just a "band-aid"?[/quote]

No one is suggesting that we give up on these medications. The OP is complaining that it’s not working, yet Doesn’t make any changes to exercise or diet. There’s an obvious answer for OP...[/quote]

Op here - Where did I say I wasn’t making any changes? I’m on WW and exercise 3x a week. I’m currently on 2.0 ozempic and haven’t lost anything! Zero appetite suppression. [/quote]

Wow, really? Will your insurance cover a different medication? It’s clearly not working for you. I’m sorry.

I’m losing weight much more slowly than what others report but I’m losing. If you’re not losing at all, you should ask your doctor about switching.[/quote]
