Any negative side effects that the drug has? I guess it will have some. I guess no druh will replace healthy balanced nutrition (meat, fish, veggies, fibers) and sufficient physical activity.

They’re pretty new so we don’t know yet but pharma loves them because you have to stay on them in order to revive the benefits
How’s that different from selling heroine then? 🤣
It’s not bro lol their other business is to literally sell heroin
Big pharma is just a legalized drug cartel killing more than the underground markets.
I can't believe how many boomers are doing prescription drugs, not their prescriptions, but it's okay cause they're prescription drugs.

Imagine the percentage of all the side effects, regardless of how small, spread across all of society for very single drug?
We’re not healthier because of this, we’ve created a whole host of new problems that humans have never had before
But everyone thinks because side effects are small or inconsequential that it doesn’t happen to them, it happens to other people. Even when it does happen to them.
Just get on a new drug to “solve” the latest problem
Only time will tell about the negative impacts of GLP-1 drugs but anecdotally I’m seeing and hearing of higher lean tissue loss to fat loss ratio when compared to non GLP-1 caloric restriction and I don’t know why. It’s especially alarming for older folks who may never get back that lean tissue.
It’s obvious why. Most people have inadequate protein intakes and they don’t strength train. If they began training and eating 150 grams of protein then there wouldn’t be as much lean tissue loss
Very true. Doing that will work wonders for most of the population. It’s hard to get folks to even consume 0.6g of protein/lb of body weight let alone 1g which would be ideal.
What’s strange about this stuff is that even with similar caloric/macronutrient intake and exercise regimen the weight loss tends to come from a greater loss in lean tissue after taking GLP-1 drugs compared to before at least anecdotally in clients. This part I don’t get.
If I could get people to choose the low time preference approach you point out rather than the easier but potentially dangerous way, I’d be happy but it’s hard to overcome the immediacy mindset combined with the influence of money and power behind these drugs. These are so popular now in my area that doctors have a specific section of their websites devoted to GLP-1 prescriptions.
I’d like to see the effect it has on say bodybuilders who are cutting. My guess is there wouldn’t be as much lean tissue loss, but maybe that’s wrong.
That’s a great question. From what people tell me the drug makes you nauseous even when smelling food and they have to sometimes choke it down. May not be the ideal tool a bodybuilder would want to use for precision nutritional intake but it would be interesting to see.
Bodybuilders are psychos. I bet they’re already abusing this to extremis. lol
