Time and changing my eating habits. Time is easy. The habits require more willpower. What worked for me was to reduce the carbs (potatoes, rice, bread) & replace them with vegetables. So I just eat a meal salad with a piece of meat now.

Intuition tells me effective diet pills are excellent crutches at not building habits. Seems like recipe for yoyo pilling, which to be fair isn't unlike seasonal dietting except pills make the dietting part predictable. Gut feeling is still massively accessible diet pills is net good in terms of public health if it reduces all the conditions associated to being overweight.

I don't agree. Nicotine patches help against the want for a cigarette, i.e. the craving, but not the habit of pulling out a cigarette while having a beer.
