I must disagree with your comment. Personally, I have witnessed so many people struggle for years with their weight. Being overweight and struggling to lose weight must be a 50 factor model: Multiple social, economic, and mental/physical health factors. These GLP1 drugs really are a game changer.

disagree with what? I said dieting, not cutting muscle and sticking to it long-term for most people is absurdly hard, which you seem to echo with "struggle for years"
