It's actually even worse than that. It's once a month for the rest of your life, because studies have shown that you gain the weight back when you stop taking it.

Oof, screw that. If I wanted to lose weight I'd do it the old-fashioned way.

That being said, there are diseases like Down Syndrome where this is better than the alternative; they're genetically predisposed to overly harsh weight gain and can't lose it naturally.
