But how are they going to do that?

Unless they go back on the drug every time they start to regain weight, I don't expect to see a good long term result. (And that's before even considering the potential for serious side effects)

From what I've seen from abundant videos, it's just another dodge to keep them from actually engaging with what they eat, and how it makes them feel. Watching people flirt with their blood sugar while being deeply into denial about how much they eat, and how fleeting the feelings of satiation and enjoyment really are. There are several prominent examples; the deeper a person is into fast/convenience foods, the worse it is for their health.
But somehow, a piece of meat, breaded and fried and then served in more bread with a sugary sauce, is now thought of as part of a meal which includes deep fried starch, a sugary drink, and then a dessert? The dessert part they agonize over, when it's just a different flavor of sugar to the body.
What's the difference between the fries and the pie, I ask?
There's increasing evidence, like a recent study comparing the Victorian and modern eating habits in Britain. There was a lot of animal foods being eaten, with organs keeping even the poor well-fed compared with us now.
The introduction of processed foods around 1900 created a wave of obesity and chronic illness. This is when the poor start getting fat and sick and demented from pellagra. Medieval Italy suffered from waves of malnutrition dementia, because they switched to corn without preparing it the way peoples of the new world did, using ash to unlock the niacin.
The creation of fortified grains was born, but it's only enough to keep us from filling warehouses with acutely suffering people. Now, it's slower and chronic, but people just aren't getting enough Bs and protein this way.
My own experience has convinced me that my real food tastes as good as my "treats" used to, especially when I don't have to repeat the whole thing an hour or two later. When people talk about how their indifference to food feels like a "miracle" they don't know they can do that
themselves.
With the drug, they don't improve their diet. Somehow, I think this drug turns off the oversized appetite which promotes overeating and cravings. But we can all do that by eating real food.
UPF-4 level foods increase the appetite centers. It's been designed as an addictive drug over decades, and it provides so little nutrition it has to be an adaptation. A kind of "we have nothing but dirt to eat, so let's eat a lot of it" directive from our brains. Maybe, so we will like eating dirt.
