Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs

by Johann Hari

When you take them, you are not just changing your gut. You are changing your brain. You are changing your mind.

But I now believe that everyone taking these drugs should ask themselves at the start: What job is overeating, and being overweight, doing for you? What did you get out of it that’s positive and improves your life? You need to think about this with ruthless honesty, because when you take away the overeating, those issues will likely play out for you in some other way.
