Harvard Professor: “I Tried Every Diet. This Is By Far The Worst.” - Daniel Lieberman

What was said

"Something like 60% of people who have tried GLP1's have quit them after a year or two. 60%. And the problem is that when you quit them, your body just still will your appetite comes roaring back and you want to go back to your previous weight for for reasons that we do not understand."

Daniel Lieberman says the last study he saw found about 60% of GLP-1 users quit after a year or two. He argues that appetite often returns after stopping, making weight maintenance difficult and pushing some people towards long-term use.
