Semaglutide should not be an easy way out for those who can still turn their lifestyle around, of course.
It's a diabetes drug first and foremost.
That said, there's a lot of people who are way beyond the point of no return regarding obesity, and for which surgery is not an option due to age or other complications already induced by obesity (joint damage, cardiovascular strain, atherosclerosis, thrombotic risk, etc). Ozempic/Mounjaro should definitely be a stepping stone for them. And those drugs should always be accompanied by a custom dieting and exercising program anyway.
