@Anna C mentioned the new weight loss drugs in another post and rather than hijack it I thought I would ask separately whether anyone has experience they would care to share. On my part I used Rybelsus (oral version of semaglutide) for three weeks and lost 5kg. I was definitely less hungry and felt full sooner so the effects were as advertised. I had no other side effects. I felt my weight loss correlated with the calorific deficit (ie the drug works by suppressing appetite). My summary is that I believe the drug would be useful for someone struggling to habitualise a calorie reduction program as the appetite suppressant makes compliance easier, but there is no miracle effect
