Have to say I basically take the opposite on everything you say here. I know quite a few people who aren't super active (myself included) who took it and went off and kept the weight off.

And they actually do induce lifestyle changes, which is the fascinating part. Not for everyone, but the impulse control changes are dramatic. I had a friend credit him going to therapy for the first time in his life and reading for the first time since high school to it which was crazy, but makes sense because it also helped him quit smoking weed so he had a lot more time.






Do you know which drug they took? Do you know if it was a compound? I'm a layman here and I'm interested in the success stories.

Ignoring the weightloss, I find the life quality improvements properties of the drug fascinating and it would be my number 1 reason for trying it.


The best is definitely Tirzepatide, it's both stronger and easier to tolerate. You can find it online from more or less reliable sources.
