If Serena Williams needed a GLP1, what hope do I have?

I don't know anyone who maintains a normal weight without a GLP.

I do. I rarely eat highly processed food. I’m eating takeout pizza tonight for a change but I can guarantee I’ll feel like crap later and for the next day or two. I am 50 and except for pregnancy, I have weighed with 5 pounds my entire adult life. Eat real food. It’s possible.

And you genuinely believe this is how everyone would be if they ate the same way you do? I also used to think like this - and I also eat hardly any highly processed food (and I NEVER eat takeout pizza!) and I regularly exercise and somehow, when peri hit, I started slowly gaining weight. I changed nothing but my body changed and I definitely weigh more than 5 pounds over my lowest weight. I’m not obese by any means but I can absolutely see how weight can change over time despite having great nutrition and lifestyle.

Most people eat more than their body needs and are inconsistent with diet/exercise. This isn’t rocket science.

It may not be rocket science but still most people are not at an ideal weight. Obviously your view is that all those people are weak and greedy and if they just curbed those base desires they could be thin. But now they don’t have to struggle with it because medicine can help them. And that is a good thing.

It’s this plus lack of exercise, plus eating a nutritionally deficient diet even beyond ultra processed foods. Yes, absolutely.

There are people who genuinely struggle and are overweight/obese with diagnosed metabolic issues, and I am very happy they have this drug.

But taking this drug for vanity weight because it’s hard for you to track calories to get rid of 5 pounds? Seems kind of classic weak and greedy. Really foolish.

Look at how much you’re eating and how often. Most women eat multiple times per day and snack too. It’s too much and too frequently. Also, eating fat won’t make you fat. We grew up being fed (no pun intended) that line. Fat makes you feel full. Ditto for fiber.

My mother, her sisters, my son, and also my best friend, all have trouble GAINING weight. They're all underweight, some of them drastically so - and yet none are anorexic. They don't have mental issues around food at all. They just eat like birds.

Everyone has their problems, OP. Not all athletes find it easy to keep an optimal figure. Athleticism in itself is not a factor in your brain eating signals.

Just do what you can in life. It's going to be OK.

Multiple times a day! How dare they.

Consider the primary effect of GLP1s is to scale back consumption of food, this isn’t really a come back.

NGL- why struggle? I had gained maybe 10lbs in the past 2 years and it was driving me crazy. With RTO I just couldn’t stop eating at my desk. I weighed 132 (I’m 5’1) and easily lost 1lb a week and now weigh 115. I think tall people think 115 is underweight but I don’t look scrawny at all. I’m sure I could lose more and still look very healthy but I don’t want to. (Best friend is 5’0 and 105. She’s super healthy but no extra rolls which I still have).

I paid $350 for a 3 month supply and now it’s $200 ish a month. I save a ton on food and extra purchases of snacks. For sure at least $100. I had so much fun this summer at the beach and pools playing with my kids. I’m also rocking it at the gym now and can even run faster without excess weight.

So you need medication because you have no ability to control what you eat. Got it. Jesus, America is doomed.

I just saw that Serena Williams went on a GLP1 because she wasn’t losing weight. I assume she has the best workouts and nutritionists available. If she couldn’t do it, what hope do us normies have? Should I ask my doctor for it? (I think she went on Ro).

Serena Williams did not "need" a GLP1, OP. She chose money over her own health by taking one. Hope it works out for her in the long run.

Yes, she chose money, but please elaborate on how she made a choice that goes against her health by finding a way to lose weight. I can't wait to hear it.

Is she clinically overweight, let alone obese, due to excess body fat? Has she not had years (a lifetime) of cardiovascular exercise and strength training? Does she present with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or DM2?

If your mantra is that everyone who is fit and muscular needs to "lose weight," you are so far off base that there is no serious discussion with you.

She has a history of blood clots and may have some other comorbidities she is not disclosing like high BP or blood sugar.

Oh great! And some initial research shows a potential link to use of GLP1s and elevated risk of DVT.

Look harder.

+1. processed food and restaurant food are the killers. I’m not saying they are easy to resist but it is not some kind of secret.

… and gaining some weight in menopause is normal, not a pathology that requires medication … if you exercise and eat sensibly you’re not going to end up obese.

No it is not, because normal BMI 50 year old women taking expensive heavy duty lifetime drugs to he an “ideal weight” is really sick and sad behavior.
