> Simple answer is people like to eat, lack discipline, and want to look good

this is not the answer to the question they asked, just a useless triviality. They are not asking _why_ people would like this, it's obvious, they are asking how is this possible to continue eating garbage and living a bad lifestyle, and keep losing weight, and is it then still a health positive or not?

People on semaglutides may not actually continue to eat garbage - with a smaller total caloric intake it becomes a lot more important to use it on nutritious food, since your body still needs all the same vitamins and minerals. And without the same cravings doing that becomes easier.

Easy, you don't. Just like someone on Nicorette isn't as unhealthy as a smoker. These drugs curb addiction, so you eat less.

These people lose weight because they have taken all the steps to lose weight. Less food less weight, it's that simple.
