It always bothers me when someone says it’s "cheating" to use a GLP-1 agonist.

It helps but the person losing weight still has to clean up their diet and start an exercise routine. There are still major changes they need to make to become successful. GLP-1 agonists help a lot of people make better decisions due to how they fight hunger. Less hunger means less chances to make bad choices when eating, and weight loss progress is a virtuous mental cycle where you keep doing what you’re doing because you see results.

None of that is cheating. There are still major changes one must make. Taking Ozempic but continuing to eat a trash-tier diet will yield little to no progress.
