  • This is a privileged viewpoint. Some people have problems losing weight because sugary foods are literally addicting(and in the US at least suffer is added to nearly everything). Some people experience what’s called “food noise”, in which their brain is constantly thinking about eating something, which can be a tremendous ongoing strain to block. Everyone is different, and just because some people can diet without going mad or breaking from the strain doesn’t mean it should be that way for everyone.

    Think about the weight loss drugs being less of an easy way to lose weight and more like it’s addressing the mental and physical aspect of weight loss. If you’ve got food noise and an unhealthy relationship with food, then even if you’re able to master your cravings, it takes an outsize amount of your concentration/spoons to handle. This can leave one deficient in other areas like maintaining their mental health, interpersonal relationships, hygiene, or any number of other things. It’s not a moral or personal failing to need help, dieting or otherwise.
