Oh I 100% agree. I think people may be making a mistake taking an appetite suppressant and watching pounds drop thinking it means they're healthy.
The question rarely asked in modern medicine is why a symptom is present. Doctors and patients almost entirely focus on how to get rid of the symptom, in this case dropping lbs without first understanding why the weight is there.
I equate GLP-1s to simply eating less because my understanding of the mechanism is that is all it does, make a person uninterested, and even in some cases unable, to eat more.
