It heavily depends on how the jabs are used.

If purely used as an appetite suppressant, then of course people will put the weight back on as soon as they regain their appetite.

People get lulled into a false sense of security that their diet is fine because they're losing weight! But it isn't.

However the jabs work well if you use the time to "retrain" your appetite, diet, and tastebuds. Then you keep the weight off because you no longer crave processed, high calorie, or junk foods.

I think the problem is in the marketing of these medications. They're not slimming jabs, they're appetite suppressors. If you never fix the appetite you will need to go back to suppressing it!
