Did I say anything about other medication?

No?

Why bring it up?

“These other things aren’t a permanent cure either!” Is a lazy response.

The original comment was acting like gold-1s are a cure where traditional weight loss isn’t. The reality is if you go off them, the same thing happens as going off your diet.

    They're a cure for having an uncontrollable appetite, which makes dieting difficult to impossible.

    So if you stop taking them, you retain your controlled appetite?

    Spoiler: nope.

    They’re not a cure for anything.

    That's so pedantic, but yes, they're a treatment for an uncontrollable appetite. Do you mean to suggest that you're against medical treatments which are not cures?

    It’s not pedantic when the original commenter I was responding to was saying that traditional weight loss wasn’t a permanent cure, for the same reason that gol1s aren’t a cure… but then framing them as a cure.

    They’re not permanent and they do have risks associated with them (pancreatitis and GI tract issues iirc,)
