MODERATORS
How prolific is a diet pill if it has brought down sales by 9%? Or are these relatively few people really having that much of an impact?
Ozempic type of treatments are extremely effective. Not only does it cause weight loss but it causes drastic reduction in appetite.
Sometimes.
while you're on it
and you can't stay on it forever
eh, with most weight gain it happens over a long period of time. If one gains like 5lbs/yr after 20 years that's 100lbs. A short term solution might help reduce weight to a place where they can learn to stabilize their weight.
There's a shortage of it. They cant produce enough of it right now. So pretty prolific. Also it's an injection.
But there's online services that will let you get it for weight loss for like $200 a month and practically no push back because they are operating in a weird online pharmacy grey market. The Verge just did a big article about it. But that worked so well that company isn't doing it anymore because they caused a shortage and can't supply themselves.
I'm imagining a world where 99% of grocery shoppers ignore the cookie aisle while the last 1% fill their carts with Oreos every visit, like Whales in pay to win mobile games.
