No, that there are and needs to be more alternate ways to manage the physical and mental addiction to excessive quantities of food such as appetite suppressants like Liraglutide and Semaglutide, similar to how methadone is a long to permanent part of a proper treatment plan to deal with opioid addiction.
We will need more such tools as there are many reasons people become addicted to excessive food and we will need multiple ways to treat it not just appetite suppressants. It has to be part of a proper treatment plan like we have with opioids in some countries that combine things like counseling and support groups with the medication.
Failure to treat this like a proper addiction and we will have the same lack of success we currently get from “move more, eat less” for long term weight loss. Its like telling smack addicts to stop shooting up or an alcoholic to just stop buying booze, it does not work.
Are you saying that there is an alternative to eating?
