"Earlier this summer, Forrest Smith got some promising news. The Denver-based petroleum engineer, who works for the National Park Service, had read reports on a new diabetes medication called tirzepatide. Clinical trials had confirmed a potent side effect: Tirzepatide users could shed up to 20 percent of their body weight. Smith told me he spent his childhood cast as 'the fat kid in school,' and his adulthood locked in a cycle of losing pounds and regaining them. Though he is not diabetic, he was aware that some doctors were prescribing the drug for weight loss and, feeling like he had nothing to lose, sought one out for treatment. He took his first weekly injection in July, and says it was like 'a switch was flipped overnight.' Food cravings disappeared. When watching skinny friends eat, he used to wonder, 'How do you not eat that entire plate of cookies in front of you?' That all changed. 'One cookie? Totally doable.'"
