My wife has used multiple different versions, since she is diabetic. Those results are the "up to" numbers and not common. If you do lose weight on it, it doesn't last longer than a year as your body adjusts to it. Only tried and true way is old fashioned calorie cut and exercise daily. Stick to that and you'll see results and they'll last if you stick to it.
This GLT stuff makes you eat less which is the good old calorie cut. Which actually makes it not a miracle pill that somehow makes calories go away. Just "stick to that" doesn't work at scale otherwise there would not have been an obesity epidemic.
Sedentary lifestyle + superabundance of calories are as unnatural as a drug that makes you lose interest in eating. So maybe it's not so totally too-good-to-be-true.
I'm gonna be keeping to my running regimen, but even relatively nasty side effects could be worth it to some people to come down from 90-something-kg to 70-something. For a female of average height that might mean the difference between land whale and matter-of-taste good-looking.
Great question. You’d expect people to live longer, which should lead to an increase in the population (all else equal). But it’s hard to imagine that the increase would be significant enough to offset the economic and cultural factors pushing birth rates down. So on net, maybe there will be a small increase? It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
no, this will not end obesity. Headline was just to get clicks.

What would be the effect(s) of the use of these GLP-1 drugs be on world population?
