Weight Loss Companies Such As WeightWatchers To Upend Approaches

Post by Alpha8472 »

It is too late for Jenny Craig. That company announced they were shutting down their locations after 4 decades.

Weight loss companies such as Weighwatchers and Noom for years have promoted diet and exercise as the primary way to lose weight.

Now obesity drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy have changed everything. Just a simple injection once a week can cause you to lose weight with no need to exercise or diet.

I work in a pharmacy and have seen morbidly obese people lose amazing amounts of weight. They were fat and now they are thin.

WeightWatchers purchased a telehealth company that offers obesity prescriptions. Pharmacies are selling huge amounts of these drugs and running out like crazy. You take Mounjaro and you lose 65 pounds. These drugs need to be taken for life or the weight will come back.

WeightWatchers should shift to a format where they could offer online doctor's visits. You go into the WeightWatchers office and then you go to the pharmacy to pick up your medication.

Now people are realizing that obesity is a metabolic disorder that can treated with medications.

One thing for sure is that retail pharmacies are making tons of money off of these medications. WeightWatchers is funneling customers straight into the brick and mortar pharmacies. Mail order pharmacies usually don't deliver these refrigerated drugs. You have to pick them up in person.
