Idk I wonder that too. Also have read a lot of ppl have awful side effects; and it needs to be used alongside strict diet and excercise so I’m not sure I understand the benefit. Do you lose more on it than w diet and exercise alone?

Yes, you loose more, that's the appeal of it.
Once at her desired weight, she'll get off of it, she said since it's helped her appetite, it's changed her eating habits; no longer has severe cravings or overeats.

This sounds too good to be true TBH. I guess the real long time study is happening right now as people are starting to take it. We'll know more in a few years.

It would be like any med that curbs your appetite. If you go back to old habits the weight comes back. For a lot of people getting the weight off with help motivates them to change some habits to keep it off.
I did a protein diet about 10 or so years ago with the help of a med, under Dr supervision. When I hit my goal weight she no longer prescribed the med to help and I was on my own. It taught me how to change my eating habits and I kept it off.

I think some of these meds will pass FDA as weight loss prescription for obesity.

Not everyone has the strength to cook for themselves or has a place that they can get health unprocessed foods from.
there is a grocery store that my dad says has good broccoli but they don't. imo their broccoli isn't that good in terms of quality. I tried to talk to him about it and he just tells me that I don't know what I'm talking about but yet he drives like 30 mins to farmers market for some items that he wants that he can't get at the grocery store. :lol: My dad thinks that I don't know what I'm talking.:blah:and my mom thinks that organic food items are a scam and just a way for companies to charge more money and that may be true some times but if you know what you are shopping for you should be fine.

So it does nothing more than suppressing appetite, right? No increasing of the metabolism or other "magic"?
Then, for me, it would be not worth it. 500g low fat curd now and then does the same :biggrin:

No clue, you’d have to look it up! I don’t know what it does internally, just relaying how she said it affected her. Killing the appetite with little side effects sounds pretty good lol
Like a safer phentermine.

I stopped it some time ago (changed to bupropion as per my doctor's advice). Nothing happened, weight the same, appetite too. But obviously I'm not representing whole population and I wasn't normal weight at the time of taking it.

I'm sure she does and she was photographed with Ivanka T (who converted to Orthodox Judaism) which I thought was lovely and then I read Ivanka's husband, Jared, is a major investor in Skims, but I don't know if that's true or means anything.

His brother is definitely an investor in SKIMs. Not sure if Jared is too. Kanye is supposedly an investor too!
