With GLP-1 doesn't this change the calculus?

It seems that it will be easier than ever to get back to a healthy weight.

GLP-1 agonists are not exercise and thus using them would not change the calculus on how common it is to lose “significant weight and actually [keep] it off permanently through exercise.”

Nor does their availability change the validity of GP’s advice.
