>The argument is that GLP-1s are bad… because you regain weight when you stop them? By the same logic, diet and exercise are bad because, when you cut them out, you’ll also tend to regain weight
Amusingly enough, I've heard the same silly argument used against creatine. "If you stop taking it, you won't be stronger anymore"

The reason it's a problem is the cost. Diet and exercise are free.
