Most weight loss products
are not worth your money.
I buy them, use them, and score them against a published rubric — evidence first, marketing last. Then I tell you which ones to skip, including the ones that would have paid me.
No sponsored placements. No paid reviews. Here is exactly how we make money.

Start with your category
What works depends enormously on what you are actually trying to solve.
Prescription & Telehealth Programs
GLP-1 medications and the telehealth services that prescribe them, scored on clinical oversight, pricing transparency and what happens when you stop.
3 reviewed
Over-the-Counter Supplements
Capsules, powders and 'fat burners' sold without a prescription — where we find the widest gap between marketing and evidence.
3 reviewed
Meal Delivery & Replacements
Prepared meals, portioned kits and replacement shakes judged on real per-day cost, nutrition quality and how long people actually stick with them.
3 reviewed
Coaching Apps & Programs
Behaviour-change apps, human coaching and tracking tools, scored on the quality of the method rather than the polish of the onboarding.
2 reviewed
Scales, Trackers & Devices

170 providers researched
The GLP-1 directory
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are the only things in this market with large randomised trials behind them — which is exactly why the companies selling them deserve scrutiny. We researched what 170 online providers actually publish about pricing, medication type and terms, and marked every gap where they publish nothing.
Researched from published sources, not hands-on tested. No scores, and we earn no commission from any of them.
