In what ways is fitness not within reach for a large portion of the population?
Studies have repeatedly shown that lifestyle modification does not result in sustained weight loss for most. Not going to waste my time providing sources to remedy your ignorance. You are more than capable of doing this research yourself.

Have you noticed any effect on gastric emptying. As someone with 'tummy issues' ( ibs/gerd ect) i am apprehensive of messing with my digestive systems.
If your IBS is the "stuff moves too fast" variety (so, IBS-D) GLP-1s seem to help a lot since they slow things down. If your problems already stem from things moving too slow... maybe not so much :P

Commenter: This drug helped me with weight loss. Commenter 2: Kodus to you. Let me just discount your anecdote as being unlucky and keep my current belief. But again, kudos. HN threads on weightloss are an utter waste of time.
This is quite snarky. I was giving kudos because the commentator first exhausted all the lifestyle options that extremely often work in reducing obesity to ensure their issue is more than just lifestyle choice then finally taking the drug, rather than short circuiting the process. This is sensible policy in deciding to take any drug for the rest of your life for a chronic illness. In other words I was giving kudos th…
> In other words I was giving kudos that the commentator put in a lot of effort to verify that it was an illness in their case.
The illness being addiction/food abuse?
Again we circle back to the question that OP posed. Because I have never seen someone say that they are an alchololic or smoke/tobacco addict and then get told: okay maybe, but first you should put in the work and find out if you really are that.
(Step one: admit that you are an addict. Step two, uh, confirm that you really are?)

You are wrong because being overweight means that your endocrine system is very messed up and can make it extremely difficult to make meaningful changes to your diet and habits. Take a look at the preponderance of folks who have taken GLP-1s here and have affected tremendously positive changes to their diet and exercise habits.
Being overweight doesn't prevent you from putting less junk food in your mouth, and instead eating vegetable.
How are the side effects? I read plastic surgeons said it was bad for your skin and people would look much older when they take it for a few months. Yet, I also read it was generally good for your health, not just in terms of weight loss.
I'm not a fan of the drug but that aging could just be due to the weight loss: skin generally looks more wrinkly (older) after losing weight.
The day Ozempic/similar drugs become approved for weight loss under ACA/Medicare is the day I stop paying taxes.
Ozempic is just scratching the surface, the pipeline is bursting... >...combinations of GLP-1 with other entero-pancreatic hormones with complementary actions and/or synergistic potential (such as glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon, and amylin) are under investigation to enhance the WL and cardiometabolic benefits of GLP-1 RA. I count 18 or so here... > https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366…
As someone who struggled with their weight his whole life, this medication is a god send. My wife and I cook every evening. We never eat food made in a factory. We buy raw products and spend a good amount of time every day cooking them. Every morning I wake up and go on a 5 mile hike. And still weight kept on coming on. Worse yet, I am on ADHD medication, which are amphetamines and actually make you lose weight. Yet.…
Anyone can list 50 no-no things they don't eat and omit the 5 types of foods they do choose that causes the most damage. Volume & variety are not to blame given most sauces are calorie dense. The issue generally is the person eating for pleasure conflicting with their stated aim to eat for weight maintenance. If it tastes good spit it out. Countless people ready to tell you no sacrifice is needed in that domain but t…

one minute? I'm sure that's not going help anyone to walk for one minute. 30 minutes at a minimum. 60 is good, 120 is great!
most people dont have 2 hours a day to walk around in circles
The point is, make a start.
