This is the same ineffective trope said repeatedly without grounding in practical solutions which help real people get to a healthier weight.

Well written.

Yep we've actually had that happen already. Happy to help if you'd like. To reiterate thought: I have nothing against these programs, from the outside they look really solid & I ov…

Thanks for sharing, important to hear anecdotal evidence.

I feel like this is a pretty bold statement, and I'm not sure how much evidence there is behind this.

Understood and good points. Thank you for the candor: I got caught up and quickly typed a throwaway comment. Definitely my bad.

Spot on.

Really interesting, thanks for sharing.

Didn't know this! Assume it's this study: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02195-1 Was posted on HN 4 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28239113 (in case oth…

Definitely an area with compelling evidence. Lot of uncertainty though.

They did! Spoken with the founder.

Thank you for the support! Where in the world are you based btw? Always interested to follow the approvals of Semaglutide.

Makes a ton of sense, and really helpful to know. Thank you.

Understood. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to link to the articles which talk about this in more detail. Should probably have added a small paragraph which talked ab…

Good to hear you'll be talking about it your endocrinologist. Couple things: Injectable Semaglutide was first FDA approved in 2017 as Ozempic. Wegovy is also injectable Semaglutide…

Biologically: mostly similar, although some important hormonal differences. More research coming on this. Psychologically & socially: very different.

We're starting to do more research into hormone-based treatments. We definitely have hesitancy as hormone treatments are a bigger life decision, and telehealth regulation is murky.…

The doctors prescribe both GLP-1s & meds like Phentermine, among others. I just didn't wanna list them all out!

We plan to store it until we expand to more states. If you'd like us to delete it, send me an email on richie@joinfella.com & I'll sort it.

Interesting to hear this personal experience. If you're interested in some research behind this: "Long-term persistence of hormonal adaptations to weight loss" - [1] and [2] are bo…

Really nicely put. Yep we're British founders so would love to expand to Europe in the future. Sadly won't be for a couple of years though - lots of work to be done first in the US…

It's one important cause - although "food addiction" is interestingly quite controversial in the research space, and the literature is fast growing here. It's certainly something w…

You're 100% welcome here. Would love it if you wanted to sign up. Or if easier, you can drop me an email on richie@joinfella.com and we'll sort you!

Really sorry about this. We tried to make this clear in the post, but you're right we can definitely make this clearer on our website. Before launching on HN we haven't had an non-…
