No..actually everyone CAN.
But not everyone is committed enough to make the sacrifices necessary to do so.2 -

Unless people have a serious medical condition everyone can lose weight from diet and exercise alone. The few who can't have thyroid conditions or PCOS, and with proper care they can still lose weight from diet and exercise alone.
You keep getting upset when people correct your scientifically incorrect information.2 -

We're supportive of people trying to loose weight. Not the people trying to sell them products.
Have a lovely afternoon.2 -
For me it did not work, plus I ended up with so many bruises from the injections, I looked awful; I have heard tho of it helping other people0

At the risk of coming off like the "a 24 hour chicken broth cleanse cured my dog" person, even thyroid and PCOS do not suspend the basic formula. My wife has both conditions, and is losing weight following the CICO precepts, albeit at a lower rate than "normal". Her NEAT is lower, so the 1000 calorie deficit mfp maps for normal people seems to be around 600 for her. The way the endocrinologist explained it is that her metabolism runs like a hybrid, which lets her body do the same work with fewer calories.1 -

I understand this, which is why I said that diet and exercise still works for them. It's not as much of a straight forward equation for them, but diet and exercise still work.0 -
This reads more like an advertisement than anything else.
honestly it sounds like science fiction to me.
and as someone with IBS, i'm amazed that messing with normal digestive processes to create an aversive stimulus is considered ethical. what happens to people's guts when they go off the drug, longer-term?1 -

To be honest, weight gain is your body working too good. Evolutionary speaking having fat rocks. Problem is that any medication to help is going to have to make your body less efficient.0 -
The thing about this drug is that, given the potential side-effects (which may be deadly), the common side effects, and the fact that you must reduce caloric intake anyway in order to lose weight on the drug, I just can't see why anyone would take it unless their health was already so bad due to obesity that they might soon die anyway. This is somewhat reflected in the fact that you have to either be obese, or technically overweight with some other related condition to get it (unless your doctor is mis-prescribing). Nonetheless, if you look at the risks of the drug itself, and consider that the only benefit is reduced appetite, I hope that anyone who agrees to try this first just tries snacking on all-bran and vegetables or something to stay full (for instance). If you can feel physically full, or even just "not hungry" and still keep eating for pleasure (which is not uncommon), then taking this drug is an awful idea for your health.0

I tried Saxenda and I loved what it did for me but my insurance would not pay for it ,if anyone knows where I could get some for a reasonable price please contact me at RColl87750@aol.com , I would really appreciate it ,thanks,Roberta
Just checking: Are you asking for a legit pharmacy that will sell it to you cheaply with a doctor's Rx, or an end run around Drs and pharmacies to get what you want at a good price? Asking where to get prescriptions for cheap sounds sort of shady.0 -

I took all kinds of different wieghtloss drugs in the 90's. Lost weight fast, all short term, gained more back later. No one taught me how to eat properly. MFP has given me the power/information to understand how weightloss works and why it works, you don't need drugs you need commitment, otherwise soon as you stop taking the drug your back motor boating family size pizzas.0
