I am sure some people use these meds as a quick fix without EVER changing their lifestyle and that’s no bueno in my opinion but that’s their choice.
But then there are people that have tried and worked their hardest to lose weight (many of them women in some stage of menopause, as well as men for various reasons) and have very active/healthy lifestyles. This is great option for them.
Another group are the people that take it initially as a quick fix pill but then discover they love the way the look and feel that they change their lifestyle to keep it and either get off meds completely or supplement with it.
We are all so different and I say the fact that people will demonized and judge those that are on this drug is the driving force behind the shame that is felt for being on it.
That’s all
