New drugs are transforming weight loss - but not for everyone

Oh great, another 'miracle' drug for the rich while the rest of us just eat less and move more. As if.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-28T19:16:03.000Z

Exactly! Fad diets and now fad drugs. Body positivity anyone?

i'm doing a paper on GLP-1s rn and the 'non-responders' thing is real. some ppl just don't lose much weight even on the max dose. genetics innit

Ruby Fraser2026-06-28T19:27:03.000Z

agree some ppl just unlucky with genetics. but for those it works it's life changing

Back in my day we just went for a run and ate less sugar… now it’s all injections and 'Ozempic face' 🤦🏻‍♂️

A friend of mine had terrible side effects on these pills, vomiting every day. Not worth it for the sake of losing a few kgs. Be careful out there.

what a load of shit. another article hyping up drugs that don't work for most people. ffs

Ruby Fraser2026-06-28T20:19:03.000Z

mate i know three people on wegovy and two of them lost heaps. the other one nothing. weird how that works. guess it's not a miracle for everyone.

Taylor Wright2026-06-28T20:41:03.000Z

the hype is insane. just eat whole foods and walk 10k steps a day, it's free.

Noah Bennett2026-06-28T21:01:03.000Z

walk 10k steps in a city with no footpaths? haha okay. enjoy your privilege.

Taylor Wright2026-06-28T21:43:03.000Z

it's not that simple but ok. some people have medical conditions that make exercise hard. be grateful you don't.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-28T21:14:03.000Z

lol cope. if you can't even walk then there's no hope for you anyway.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-28T22:00:03.000Z

get stuffed. no excuse to be a lazy git.
