Those people could also lift weights and eat less. Ozempic works because it makes people feel full and stop eating, to lose weight without Ozempic.

eat less and move more.

Taking Semaglutide gives an adherence advantage (with diet and exercise) vs. just diet/exercise alone.

There was a 16% weight loss for those that received semaglutide/diet/exercise/counseling versus a loss of 5% for placebo those that received diet/exercise/counseling without semaglutide.

Spoken like someone who's never had an eating disorder. Thanks for the non-helpful "advice" that's obvious to everyone on the planet.

It's tantamount to people telling others with clinical depression to "just cheer up and stop feeling sorry for themselves. Have you tried not being depressed?"
