People that are using it as a weight loss supplement are going on very low calorie based diets (talking roughly 500 cals a day). Its mostly women (that Ive seen or heard about), who are looking for a quick fix. I know 2 women personally who did this, for roughly 2 months I believe, and lost a bunch of weight, but low and behold, gained it all back pretty much immediately. Its the biggest crock of sh1t that dr's are actually prescribing this stuff to people, especially women, cuz all it does is raise the potential for hormonal issues, and doesn't teach them whatsoever how to eat healthy. I could probably rant of for days about how stupid the people are that do this, mostly because the people that I know personally are those typical want results fast, but are too lazy to put in the work.
