This article boils down to “be careful, you might get a tummy ache” and ignores the fact that glp1 is saving millions of lives from heart disease, stroke, and other obesity-related issues.
Did you read the article? It is warning about over-prescribing to people who are not at risk of heart disease, stroke, and other obesity-related issues.
I think it’s well understood that people who produce glp1 correctly can still be obese and need weight loss and these drugs help with that. That’s the whole point of the drug. To provide more glp1 than is needed to lose weight easily.

these drugs help with that

or they cause gastrointestinal conditions in these people, resulting in the weight loss (and malnutrition) that is a symptom of the new condition rather than the drug itself.

The entire point of glp1 is to prescribe when dieting isn’t effective.

Dieting is literally effective 100% of the time, thanks to Newton and his second law and all that.

Sticking to it is another thing entirely - but let’s not pretend words don’t have meaning anymore

Your oversimplification of complex biological processes is mindbogglingly ignorant. Please find a study that shows a diet that produces results that are over a 10% reduction in body mass and with results that last for over two years. If you can’t do even that miniscule baseline, if you can’t find one diet that has actual scientific macking, please stfu about subjects you know next to nothing about and have no evidence for. I know it’s really difficult for you to understand concepts that can’t be boiled down to a single sentence, but let’s try this one time, okay?
Complex biology is emergent from and constrained by the laws of physics.
So you think a single phrase can encompass something useful in such a complex system? Is it better to be technically true or actually useful?

So you think a single phrase can encompass something useful in such a complex system?

Yes. Absolutely. So do all dieticians and nutritionists, as this is the principle that all diets are based on, because it is correct.

If it’s useful for weight loss universally, please provide evidence. All I’m asking for is a study that shows saying the same thing over and over out of context has made anybody lose any weight. If it’s such a bulletproof concept, than should be easy. If you can’t do that, then your idea sucks.
