&gt; has users reporting 15-20% weight loss within a year with minimal side effects.<p>That doesn&#x27;t seem suuuper effective for a weekly injection type drug. If you reported 15-20% weight loss after a year on &#x2F;r&#x2F;keto, nobody would be very impressed.<p>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&#x27;d wait for a bit more than 3 anecdotes to draw that conclusion.<p>We&#x27;ve had miracle fat loss drugs announced before. While I&#x27;m open to the idea these will work, I&#x27;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.<p>Curious to hear others experience with Wegovy, Ozempic, and similar..
