As a part of a new editorial series on obesity, HealthCentral surveyed hundreds of readers who shared their thoughts on the new obesity meds that are shaking up the weight-loss landscape—and the results are eye-opening. Found through the survey and reported on in this press release about the series, nearly two-thirds of people on weight loss drugs stop due to side effects: https://lnkd.in/gTRacs4x. And that is just a glimpse into what this survey and series uncovers about the state of obesity in the U.S. The series includes the latest on obesity science; the role of exercise in managing obesity and lowering risk; GLP-1s and health disparities; the emotional impact of obesity medications, and whether BMI and weigh-ins at the doctor's office still matter.
