Weight-loss businesses, which long pushed calorie-counting and willpower, are grappling with the surging popularity of new drugs

Annick Lenoir-Peek, a lawyer from Durham, N.C., has struggled with her weight since adolescence. She has tried Atkins and keto and spent thousands of dollars over decades on weight-loss efforts and programs such as Noom, Nutrisystem and WeightWatchers.in late November, she’s lost around 30 pounds.

Her cholesterol and glucose levels have improved, and she can eat far fewer calories without feeling hungry, she said. She’s felt few side effects and has more energy than when she tried calorie-restricted diets. Currently on a trip through Eastern Europe, she said she is doing more tours than she would have at a higher weight.

Ir's so sad that even old press becomes advertisement

Drugs won’t address lifestyle issues, and until you address that we’re going to have an obesity epidemic.

My sister is using one of them, she didn’t lose any weight.

People wanting to lose weight are making it difficult for people like me with Diabetes to get our medicine.

Eat lean protein, veggies, low carb and avoid sugar…..walk 30 min a day. Problem solved - it’s that simple

How about only prescribing it to diabetics? And promote healthy diet and exercise for the rest?

You still need to watch what you eat and exercise. Ozempic just makes it easier.

So it's okay to use this intestine destroying drug off label, but not HCQ or IVM which do zero harm if they do not work.

Just eat a salad w/ a lean protein for lunch a dinner. Cut out sugars and carbs. Mix in 30 minutes or more of walking. It’s that simple.

So, we can continue to eat our crappy diet and all we need to do to lose weight is take another pill? I’ve never been so proud of my people. USA! USA!

The Sugar Cartel grappling with change.

Betcha not one overweight antivaxxer has asked, 'But do we know what's in it?'

The problem with new drugs is they work and work well. So you continue your addiction to hyper processed shit and sugar. It’s not good. But also I don’t really care anymore. Be body positive stuff your face yeeeah ….. delusionalgen

Lower your prices would be a good start maybe? Are we hired?
