## Resource

I got the following question from reader LouAnna who asked “I just saw that they are developing even more new weight loss drugs of the GLP1 type that (supposedly, of course) create even more lost weight. What ever happened to the claim that we just need to lose 5-10% ? Don’t these new weight loss drugs already claim that they exceed that? Will it never stop?” This is a great question and I’m happy to offer my thoughts. Get full access to Weight and Healthcare at weightandhealthcare.substack.com/subscribe
