What I think some people ignore is that "food drive" is a thing. When I get hungry, and I know there's food around, there's no stopping me from eating. It's most strong following days of intense exercise for me, but I know other have it worse than me.

There's other reasons to, just like how we need to ask why someone is doing drugs, we also need to ask why they are eating food. GLP-1 are amazing because they can give you a head start on weight loss. But if you never do the work to understand what's making you gain weight in the first place they're basically useless.

A friend of mine got a gastric bypass and lost a ton of weight. She was super happy with her body and life improved a lot. Then life got very stressful and she became an alcoholic again. No we she's gained weight again. The article is about a better weight loss formulation that doesn't use GLP, but instead using glucagon and GIP peptides. I guess it's got less side effects, maybe.
