If your taste buds aren't completely fried by years of abuse you really can't eat any significant amount of sugar without being disgusted. More and more often I find some types of apples too sweet for my taste to the point I barely can finish them.

GLP-1 drugs reset this incredibly quickly, luckily.

That's good, and I hope that one can get off glp 1 quickly too. For anyone with the discipline I'd highly recommend doing it the natural way but if one really can't then I might consider that option.

There aren't any really long term studies of it to show what other effects it might have, though.

Easy to get off. I have a feeling they are actually life extension drugs, even for normal weight people. Just reading many studies and some intuition from taking them (and not being much over).

If you don't change the underlying habits it simply doesn't work, like yo-yo diets, like antidepressant, it only works if you actually want help and put in the work, if you just take it as a magic pill you will for sure fail again
