    I read the article. It reads like a heavy advertisement for a brand name of semaglutide. Yes obesity is unhealthy and should be prevented and overcome/reversed. Yes, semaglutide can work. But it’s not so simple a miracle pill at the advertisementarticle wants it to be. And any time you are taking a medication, it carries risks inherently. A serious risk/before consideration needs to be performed for each person.

        Worth removing the fat? Yes.

        Worth removing this post? No. There is quality in the article outside of the marketing. It lends itself to an excellent jumping of point for discussing the finer points of this medication and this “off-label” use.

        Obesity is a public health crisis. Any weapon that can be used against it is worthy for discussion.
