GLP-1 is the perfect pharma solution since you need to keep taking it forver otherwise you'll gain the weight back. Plus the side effects seem to be far from trivial, specially in fucking around with your gut
Thanks for the input. I didn't know that the drug needs to be taken forever? Are you in pharmacy? If you're please tell us more about the side effects of it.

i'm not in pharma but i've done some research when it started gaining traction to see what it is
ozempic and other glp-1s tend to be a life long treatment, people who go off it regain weight, have blood sugar surges etc.
there are also negative side effects of burning off that much fat in your body that quickly and ppl are getting the ozempic face since the weight loss is so rapid. body stores toxins in fat so by burning a lot of it you will release lots of toxins in your system which means that you should be also working on getting rid of that (and you might feel like crap).
in any case its a very one sided approach that highly reminds me of the fatkins from cory doctorws Makers novel where people do gene therapy to get their bodies to burn 10000kcal/days in order to lose weight (and later on figure out there are some long term effects of this)
