The new obesity drugs work, but it's a dilemma when people have to
stop taking them
....
....
One early study showed patients regained two-thirdsof the weight lost
within the first year of stopping. New analysis showed 17% of people
able to maintain 80% of their weight loss after stopping. And while
experts say lifestyle choices like food and activity must be the
cornerstone of all lasting weight loss plans, they also recognize
those changes alone are often not enough for patients with obesity.

In other words: Chronic disease requires chronic treatment, no
different than kidney disease, or high cholesterol. The new obesity
treatments act on the various hormonal and metabolic drivers of
obesity.
