Eli Lilly releases new data from potentially game-changing weight loss drug trial
An experimental drug from Eli Lilly has the potential to provide greater weight loss benefits than any drug currently on the market.

The experimental drug, retatrutide, helped people lose, on average, about 24% of their body weight, the equivalent of about 58 pounds, in a mid-stage clinical trial, the company said Monday from the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in San Diego. The findings were simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

glucagon may reduce appetite and help metabolism run more efficiently.

Huh? I shoot this in diabetic turds to get their CBG up, how does this correlate to appetite suppression or thyroid stimulation?

A pill can’t be the solution for everything. People need to count their excess sugars, carbs, and avoid the high fructose corn syrup that’s in everything. Diets need to be a lifestyle and not just a 3 month bender, or else the person will just gain all the weight back. Starvation isn’t the way. It also slows down metabolism.

Proud to not be reliant on big pharma.

Not yet at least (in my 40s).

The drugs have been “transformative to say the least,” Levy said. “They’ve given so many people hope that felt sort of helpless in this fight against the disease of obesity.



Yeah, some "disease".



You consume the wrong things in the wrong amount, you get fat. That's not a god damn disease. That's how it's SUPPOSED to work.

Calories in < calories out

That's the key to weight loss. Bottom line

Very, very significant. We don't know of any side effects yet but this clearly could help in a range of metabolic disease.

Imagine having to take a pill to lose weight when all you have to do is simply eat a little less food and move around more.

There will be horrific side effects. There always are. They may suppress them until Eli makes their billions but hundreds of thousands will suffer.

There’s No magic pill in life.

We are reaching a point where there is no accountability for our actions.

Take a pill for that
You’re a victim
You deserve it

This is where classical Joe Rogan fans unite and say "well I guess we learned something from 2011-2018"

Dude always had pioneers on his show talking about gut health and the hormonal impact on health and weight loss when that was "unscientific"

I wouldn’t do this. I know plenty who are and have lost weight. But it seems when these weight loss drugs come out, down the road complications develop, such as heart issues. I think it happened with the “miracle” Fen Fen, years ago. Is this option safe?

I found cutting out HFCS and other junk, and increasing exercise helped. I’m not fat, but am middle aged, so find myself having to be more mindful than I’m my younger years.

The fight is against themselves, not the result of their choices.

ETA:

I love that this is getting downvoted. A bunch of fatasses with excuses. The .00001% of you that have actual thyroid issues causing weight gain (not other way around), are excused.
