Anyone who's obese or overweight with cholesterol/blood pressure issues should look in semaglutide.

It's expensive without insurance, but it helped me go from 25 lbs of weight loss to 55.

For those with no money to spend on expensive medication, just go on a low(er) carb diet.

Is there good evidence a low carb diet is close to as effective?

or the elimination diet that they can best adhere to. Adherence is the biggest issue in diets, not efficacy (whilst adhered to).

I was pretty into the idea of this drug until I saw the patently ridiculous cost. $1,300? Literally no drug that must be taken long term should cost anything close to this price.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has also now been approved.

And it works slightly better than semaglutide.
