Dozens of new obesity drugs are coming: these are the ones to watch
Next-generation obesity drugs will work differently from Ozempic and Wegovy — aiming to deliver greater weight loss with fewer side effects.
The 1950s can still happen!

Weight loss drugs don’t immunise you against food though.
And usually the people who are on drugs for weight loss a rent exactly close to the figure represented.

The new ones like ozempic literally kill your cravings and desire for snacking, so in a way they do.
You’d be surprised at the figures of some of the people I see at the doctor’s for weight loss drugs.

In a way, they attempt to moderate the hormones that usually are the cause behind snacking. But it won’t eliminate habit.
I don’t think I would, but if some anorexic person gets weight loss drugs instead of a referral to a psychiatrist, somethings gone wrong.

Obviously anecdotal, but from what I’ve seen and heard it actually does. Those using it have almost no cravings, you can stick their favourite snack in their face and they’ll politely decline.
Didn’t mean it that way, but slim and shapely.
