Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
Financial impact of cost and coverage weight loss beyond medication cost:
- Groceries: SAVED $273/month (eating less)
- Restaurants: SAVED $203/month (fewer meals out)
- Alcohol: SAVED $153/month (stopped drinking)
- Life insurance: Premium REDUCED by $43/month (lower BMI)
- Copays: SAVED $63/month (fewer BP/cholesterol meds)
Net impact after medication cost: approximately BREAKING EVEN. The medication pays for itself through reduced food spending and healthcare costs. This surprised me.

Same pattern here, and in the same order. Posting only so the count is not one.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. Thread quality here is what the rules are for. Keep it up.
