Diet, Nutrition & Weight Loss
Agree. Vanity users are prolific here which skews the conversation. |
If this true, why do we hear about the harm of yo-yo dieting? |
I want to see one well-reasoned point as to why you need to care about either group. Most of these are users are getting it from compound pharmacies online and not going through insurance (which used to be the gripe). So it impacts you about as much as it impacts you when they buy Tylenol. |
If you are one of the posters talking about skinny people being mad, I doubt it. |
I am against body dysmorphia and eating disorders. It’s bad for our daughters. |
That it? Kind of grasping and nonsensical and not well reasoned at all. I'm against busy bodies who feel the endless need to police women's bodies. Make decisions for yourself and stop trying to control everyone else. |

What is vanity weight though? I'm only 5 foot. My doctor wouldn't prescribe GLPs because I wasn't "big enough". I was in the obese BMI range, and my A1Cs are ALWAYS borderline, even after fasting (literally between 6.2-6.4).
I exercise hard 3-4 times per week. Now with compound GLPs I'm maintaining a BMI that hovers in the high normal, to just barely overweight depending on the category. I'm not scrawny and this is where I can maintain. I'm finally in a healthy position and don't find this to be vanity weight loss, still I could not get medical help. I'll be microdosing for the rest of my life, and that's fine. It's better for me, and I don't see the down side for me or anyone else. You aren't paying for my healthcare or subsidizing anything. |
If you are OP and start a thread expecting an educated discussion on the thread containing "slimming jabs" I have nothing but pity for you. |

Not only has this been discussed over and over, any reputable doctor prescribing a GLP-1 should make it clear it is likely a lifetime deal. Lilly and Novo (the branded manufacturers) also make it clear that it's necessary to continue on a GLP-1 to maintain weight loss.
Yes, there may be alternatives in the future, and you might be able to get away with micro dosing for maintenance. But it works because it "fixes" at least one biological pathway that is "broken" in a lot of people who are overweight or obese. Just like insulin "fixes" a broken pathway in diabetics and SSRIs in depressed people. And HRT replaces lost hormones in menopausal women. Our lifestyles have outpaced evolution (not that evolution would likely fix these issues, since they don't impact reproduction). All of these posters slamming GLP-1s remind me of Scientology's negative view of anti-depressants. Having been on both SSRIs and GLP-1s, they are life changing, and I wonder if that's how "normal" people feel without medication (lucky them!) |
I’m not OP. I pity anyone who cannot figure out that there are multiple players on a message board. |
I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn’t stay on it for life, so I won’t start them. |
I pity anyone who can't read, such as yourself. |
You reveal yourself to be a selfish person who doesn’t care about how your actions affects others. As I thought. |
You reveal yourself to be an exceptionally dumb person (re-read my comment above about grasping) if you think that me taking care of MY body impacts you in any way. I'm pretty sure you already know it doesn't, but you choose to continue to post dumb stuff like this. Please make sure that next time you let your daughter wear a crop top to let her know how it affects ME negatively in a tremendous way. See how dumb that sounds? |
