If the “lifestyle changes” are eating less — which is what most women in their 40s and 50s need to do to lose weight — that becomes a lot harder to do when you’re hungry again.

I am a person who does a ton of strength training and eats healthy food already. But I’m eating too much of it to lose weight. If a GLP1 makes me less hungry, I will eat less and lose weight. But if I go off and the hunger comes back, I likely won’t be able to maintain.

This has been exactly my experience - I strength train and eat healthily, but start to gain weight from quantity. I have been able to stretch the doses though to maintain my weight loss. I start to get ravenously hungry around week 3-4 after an injection, and that’s around when I take it again for a single dose. If I have to inject myself once a month for the rest of my life I’m ok with that. The benefits to my health are worth it.

What level dose are you on that you able to take once per month only?

2.5mg

When I say lifestyle change I mean the women who still eat crap (like a small piece of their homemade lasagna with mozzarella, ricotta, and béchamel instead of two pieces.

What? Many thin people have been thin their whole lives because they only eat small portions of food they love. We don't have to turn into bare chicken almond eaters.

I lost a lot of weight without GLP-1 and one of then things was eating only food I really like, instead of what was supposed to be "healthy".

No, because you are only eating less because your appetite is suppressed. When your appetite is no longer suppressed you have to learn entirely new habits.

Why the hate for lasagna? I do CICO no GLP, but having a small piece of delicious homemade lasagna is absolutely part of a healthy eating pattern for me.

While not universally the issue, this a huge part of it. If people learned to eat high volume nutrient but not calorie dense food, the body mostly self regulates. But most people don’t want to do that, which is why they ended up eating and craving the opposite for so long. And snacking (totally unnecessary) and treat yourself (daily).

It is totally healthy to eat lasagna. A small slice of lasagna, big green salad, and another side veggie is a very healthy meal.

When I make lasagna, I make two. One is regular, the other I substitute thin zucchini slices for the pasta and ground turkey breast for the beef. The zucchini lasagna is surprisingly similar in taste and texture to regular lasagna. It also freezes well, so I portion it out and have 6 quick dinners for myself on grab and go nights. Salt then blot the zucchini after using a mandoline slicer to keep the zucchini from getting mushy.

I also found the same thing with pizza. If you have all the toppings of pizza, it satisfies a lot of the pizza craving (not all, but a lot!). I saute a low/no carb tortilla and build a pizza as normal then broil. If I'm at a casual party with only pizza, I just eat the top of the pizza with a fork and toss the entire crust.

Maybe your body is hungry because it needs more calories? Why not let it eat what it needs to eat?

No, because you are only eating less because your appetite is suppressed. When your appetite is no longer suppressed you have to learn entirely new habits.

I have to think small portion size would be a habit.

I did. I took it back when it was only mounjaro and brand new -- and $25 with a coupon! The good old days. I lost 50 lbs in about four months. I had to stop due to cost and gained 40 lbs back over the course of 2 years. I am back on it now and down to where I was.

Please stop focusing on the lasagna. I literally couldn't think of anything else - but I know people on GLP-1 who are still eating fast food, dessert daily, etc., and those people are not going to be able to maintain their weight because when they go off the meds, they will start increasing their portion size without even knowing it.

This. If you do not fundamentally change your eating habits you will end up at your starting weight or worse when you stop taking the shot. It is much more difficult to regulate how much you are eating with super savory or sweet foods. I have a major sweet tooth, but I’ve accepted that I cannot eat desserts because I then crave sweets more and more. For me, that simple change (that I made while I was taking the shot) has been crucial in helping me maintain my weight post GLP.
