The Weight Loss Drug Dilemma
This chapter explores the effectiveness and challenges of a new class of weight loss drugs, including Ozempic, which can lead to significant weight loss but often results in only modest outcomes for most users. It discusses the physiological and evolutionary factors affecting appetite and weight management, as well as the high costs and potential side effects of these medications. The chapter also raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of relying on these drugs for weight loss and the importance of maintaining muscle mass during the process.
