  • I would really hesitate calling it a miracle drug as there are documented side-effects and side-effects yet to be fully understood after long-term use.

    Additionally while GLP-1 can reduce caloric intake, it doesn’t actually fix the poor dietary choices that got you there in the first place. Like a smoker people will misconstrue having a low BMI with being overall healthy, even though there could be a host of macro and micro-nutritional deficits from fiber to omega-3’s to vitamins to antioxidants, and still a relatively high consumption of processed foods with things like added sugar.

    So sure it reduces the total amount of poor foods being consumed, but of course does nothing in promoting adoption of nutritionally-positive foods. In one respect, the caloric weigh-loss still is itself a net-positive, hopefully people don’t end up masking or cementing their other poor eating habits as a consequence.
