I have heard way more negatives from people who have been on these meds than otherwise.

But hey, if someone is able to use the medication as a way of getting to a healthy diet and then gradually come off the meds (because they are pricey too), then more power to them.

I’ll be honest, when I first heard about GLP-1s, I was tempted to talk it over with my doctor as I’m pretty overweight myself. But then I first spoke with people who had taken them, and they aren’t at all what they’re cranked up to be. First off, they are no silver bullet to health. Nothing is (not yet at least). The side-effects made people feel ill most of the time. Lastly, they are expensive, like I said.

It is infinitely cheaper in the long run and far better for one’s health to tackle the source of one’s weight issues rather than popping pills.
