    > has users reporting 15-20% weight loss within a year with minimal side effects.

    That doesn't seem suuuper effective for a weekly injection type drug. If you reported 15-20% weight loss after a year on /r/keto, nobody would be very impressed.

    I suppose it could work for everybody whereas diets like keto typically only work for a subset (25% or so?) of people who try it, but I'd wait for a bit more than 3 anecdotes to draw that conclusion.

    We've had miracle fat loss drugs announced before. While I'm open to the idea these will work, I'm not holding my breath.

    An overview of the studies and data regarding the repurposed type-2 diabetes drugs that are now being used for weight loss by Elon Musk and other celebs.

    Curious to hear others experience with Wegovy, Ozempic, and similar..
