When you talk about morbidly obese usually that is when you start seeing egregious portion sizes. Like multiple plates of food. Multiple big macs. I'm pretty sure they are aware that a portion is just one big mac and probably not the largest fries and coca cola. GLP isn't much of a helper in that I don't think, and makes me think whenever they go off the glp they will just go back to multiple portions since the issue circles back to willfully ignoring recommended portions.

But that being said everyone I know on GLP (only like 3 people admittedly) isn't close to obese. Maybe at most 40-60lbs overweight. And again all getting the recommendations for diet and exercise interventions, which they are all starting up, but begs the question whether they could have just lost those couple dozen pounds starting up diet and exercise without having to go on the drug. Especially as the drug isn't actually "doing" anything like raising resting metabolic rate to physically burn more calories, but instead slowing digestion and making you feel as though you are more full to trick you into taking in less calories.
