I know people taking it.

No it doesnt change habits. It makes them eat less which they even can ignore. And off it or on it they eat the same things and complain about the stomach aches.

What are you talking about? If they're eating less, then it's working at changing the behavior. What is there to "ignore" at that point?

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 5 days ago

Because it only reduces hunger. They can ignore that they don't feel hungry and keep eating.

Also eating less for a period of time because you don't feel hunger then returning the feelings of hunger does not change behavior in long term.
