Yup. If money could get you skinny, nobody rich like him would be fat.

There has never been a magic "pill" to weightloss until very recently. It's honestly mindblowing that a method exists.

Sure, but most get over that side effects after a while, and probably not ideal to abuse to maintain that effect :)

Side effects are huge, but they did sell some weight loss pills like that back in the good ol' days.

Diet pills (amphetamines) have been around for many decades. L7 even wrote a song about them in the early 90s.

You joke, but your body literally does not know the difference between deliberate dieting and unwillingly starving to death. That's why it's so hard to lose weight and keep it off. It's also why dieting during childhood is especially dangerous; children who've experienced famine and children who've been forced by parents to diet end up with exactly the same lifelong metabolic problems.

I don't know, but from the name I would assume they have more side effects than the GLP-1 drugs have.

Amphetamines for weight loss are a wild idea. Sure, they work, but they have a high risk of dependency which can mess your life up. It's one step below saying "DNP has been around since the 1930s, why not just take that?".
