I’m amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to avoid dieting and exercise. Amazed.

Not that there aren’t people abusing this, but there is a very serious health condition that this drug treats. One that is the second leading cause of preventable death is the US(only second to smoking).

The impetus must be placed on doctors to prescribe according to proper protocols. Vanity is NOT a comorbidity.

Acting like the simple answer is diet and exercise shows how incredibly naive your position is. For some that may be true, but for the majority it is not. Consider how many people try over and over again to do it with diet and exercise and fail numerous times.

There are exceptions, but the reality and facts are that obesity is a disease based in genetic predispositions. Medical weight loss is the newest powerful tool to fight that disease.
