> When someone takes an anti-obesity medication like Mounjaro, the amount of fat the body wants to maintain is re-regulated, usually to a lower weight. “When you take the medication away, that defended fat mass goes back up, and weight is regained,” Jastreboff said. “In order to continue to maintain the new re-regulated defended fat mass, and weight reduction, you have to continue taking the medication.”

This doesn’t seem worth it to me. I’m sure a lot of people would like to lose 25lbs but you’re making a deal with the devil to get it. It almost makes me think they design these drugs to make a recurring revenue stream instead of fixing the issue permanently.
