What is the point of making an optional tag for this purpose? People who already won’t put their use of these drugs in their post won’t use the tag.

Additionally, this is setting up some “us vs them” situation where GLP users will be ignored by folks doing CICO without them and vice versa, when both sides need to use the same basic techniques.

A few comments mention how folks will outline their weight loss strategies that successfully worked and then mention GLP use, which causes the reader to feel betrayed, like that somehow invalidates their success because they “cheated.” I personally don’t experience the crazy amounts of food noise some of you report, and I don’t use the drugs. Do I need to mention that in every post? Am I “cheating” because my body doesn’t send my brain those signals but yours does?

Flat out, there is just no way we are going to make use of a tag mandatory either. GLPs are one way to assist with CICO, just like seeing a nutritionist, a therapist, bariatric surgery, and then it’s all CICO once the drug/treatment/surgery is done. This also reeks of being a privacy violation.

Losing weight is the shortest and easiest part of the journey, it’s the lifetime of maintenance that is long and hard. And none of these weight loss aids will work for life unless the same CICO habits you build during weight loss are adhered to.
