My comments in the @washingtonpost.com today about the systematic review on weight regain after taking weight-loss drugs vs behavourial approaches #obesityisnotachoice www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

Those quitting Ozempic, Wegovy and other drugs regained weight four times faster than those using just diet and exercise, still key components in weight maintenance.
