Like Ozempic et al.

Eating habits are complex, but too many people look for quick fixes and tech and bandaid solutions and then get flummoxed when they stop working after a while or there are side effects.

It's a complex subject, but fundamentally, poor nutrition makes people hungry and they eat more because the body is craving proper nutrition. And they eat "comfort food" (which doesn't help) because they feel less than tip-top because of reduced nutrition. That includes indulging in those high protein foods high in leucine

This study also illuminates why fad diets like "paleo" are often harmful.
