    So if you stop taking them, you retain your controlled appetite?

    Spoiler: nope.

    They’re not a cure for anything.

      That’s so pedantic, but yes, they’re a treatment for an uncontrollable appetite. Do you mean to suggest that you’re against medical treatments which are not cures?

        It’s not pedantic when the original commenter I was responding to was saying that traditional weight loss wasn’t a permanent cure, for the same reason that gol1s aren’t a cure… but then framing them as a cure.

        They’re not permanent and they do have risks associated with them (pancreatitis and GI tract issues iirc,)
