I think it is more complicated than this unfortunately. Studies like this have been coming out for a while now: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4539812/ where 1 in 7 or 8 obese are actually able to achieve a healthy weight.

These drugs will be game changers

Within 5 years 20% of the population will be on them and it will be very cost effective in reducing the need for weight loss surgery, cardiac disease, and diabetes. Diabetes costs a TON of money in later years - it is a long term killer, and if we can keep 20% of adult onset diabetics from ever developing it that is really something!!!
