Here is my input in this.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely.Here is what i think.

Whats good:

1) Loss of weight makes people feel good and confident.
2) Many personal relations get better and even saved.
3) people are more inclined towards health care.
4) others do get motivation seing the transformation.
5) In the long run weight loss may save a person from many health issues.

Harms:

1) Peopla want short cuts they dont wanna eat less or do physical activity they want to stay home on the couch and lose weight.
2) This has become a mafia and many drugs dont even do what they claim to.
3) Therrr are very few products which are FDA approved others just use testimonies of mostly paid actors to sell them.
4) It is scientificallt proved that not just losing weight saves you from diseases specially heart diseases...one has to do physical work to kose healthy weight and this saves you from diseases and people these days want to lose weight and not move an inch..
5) Loads of money is going into this.
6) Again the divide of affording and non affording is there ... and if a non affording person seen a rich person looking great he would feel.bad and deprived this is becoming a big social problem.
7) These products have so many side effects msotly they contain ingredients which are not FDA approved for weight loss purposes. And they may make one lose weight but cause other catastrophic issues.
8) There are many hidden ingredients in these products which may not be healthy.
9) Some products make one lose rapid weight which is NOT healthy.
10) Many products cause diarrhea which cause nutrient defficiencies and weakness which in long run is destructive.
