GLP-1 Medications

[Tatebeck]

So it was all just a silly misunderstanding?

I understood everything the entire time, but yes it appears you may not have.

In all respect, you do seem to be confused and mixing up different types of diet. You started with "serious fasting" but are now talking about "a low fat diet" which are two completely different things. It's really not opinion, it's science. In addition to researching researching medical journals about different types of dieting, maybe a discussion with a nutritionist would help you understand the differences.

My aopologies. I thought I was being crystal. Evidently not.

My best friend is on a GLP1. She has lost 60 or so pounds in about a year. She is very thin, probably around 110 pounds. She is aware that she is too thin but says she would rather be too thin than too fat. She also is resigned to taking the meds for the rest of her life or gain some back and has money so has no problem paying over $400 a month. She says she takes no pleasure in eating, even if it tastes good. And she will chastise herself if she enjoys something too much (we went on a Disney trip together and there were 2 meals where she really liked the food and ate most of it and then talked about how awful it was to eat that much for hours after). She is very honest about her weight issues coming from childhood but is grateful for the drugs.

My sis in law has also lost over 80 lbs with a GLP1 over the last 10 months. She is also very thin, maybe 115. She pays $500 per month and says she will do it for the rest of her life to avoid gaining the weight back. She is very grateful for it and has nothing but good things to say.

Do you have any experience with taking a GLP-1? I was asking for others experience with taking the medication.

I have been on Zepbound for almost 2 years. You are more likely to have constipation over diarrhea due to the delayed gastric emptying. I actually take stool softeners daily to keep myself regular. I am lucky in that it is the only side effect I have had, and I am on the max dose now. I have lost around 60lbs so my loss has been pretty slow and steady.
