When Ozempic started making the rounds in the news with glowing reviews, my instincts told me there likely was some long term negative effective that wasn't immediately apparent yet.

If something sounds good too good to be true, it usually is.

At the very least, we should expect to see the same kinds of downsides you’d see for anyone who managed to eat way, way less and lose weight at a multiple-pounds-per-week rate for weeks and weeks on end without taking a drug to do it. They’d be truly miraculous if they achieved their results without even the same cost as doing the same thing without the drug.
