Is it easier for those who have got there through the latter to keep the weight off as they have become more disciplined or is that too simplistic. It doesn't matter how you get there I'm just curious as to what happens after. |
Well done to Steve, J2 and others. Those who have lost the weight through slimming aids, "artificially" suppressing their hunger, would then have all those signals and past habits / emotional challenges to combat once they stop taking the drug. I think it's a great invention though and more power to people who are able to live healthier and happier lives with this support. And I'm sure many will be better equipped to sustain healthier habits once they're back to a healthier weight, hopefully after consecutive months of eating better too in addition to eating less. |  | |  |

Like every diet known to man then! It will definitely be a balancing act between going back to maintenance calories so be allowed a bit more and not going completely back to the old habits. I think we will likely see people on it for life when the pills version comes out. Maybe 0.5mg a day or something like that. |  |
