New weight loss medication works. Both the big ones are showing 20% loss over a year versus 3% with placebo. It's crazy expensive, but a lot of the tech workers here could afford.


Like what? I know some do but they are basically just suppressing your appetite and speeding up your metabolism. Like meth does.

I've used methods to control hunger in the past but basically felt like my heart was racing and had hard times sleeping when using it.


Semaglutide and tirzepatide are the big ones. They are appetite suppressants, but they’re not stimulants like the old “requiem for a dream” style weight loss meds. They just make you a lot less hungry.


Interesting. Good to know. I didnt know there were non stimulate appetite suppressants. Thanks.


Seniglutide has been getting a lot of press lately.
