This prevents the weight regain that typically follows medication discontinuation
Circana research showed that GLP-1 users skew toward lower-income consumers who take the medications because their insurance covers it and higher-income consumers who can afford the medications even without their insurance paying for it
I was ashamed of taking (and for needing in the first place) a medication that so many people still consider the easy way out. A 2025 study in the International Journal of Obesity confirmed what we all know: Women who use a GLP-1 often report feeling judged for taking a shortcut to lose weightcheating...and perpetuating thin-culture. Worst of all
