Being honest with ourselves about injectables

Exactly.

Which actually just means you're lazy OP! Because muscle mass loss can be an issue. So pivot your whole idea of "come work with me to lose weight" over to "come work with me to GET STRONG" and you'll have plenty of trim GLP-1 users knocking on your door. But if you whole branding has been based around fat shaming, you were already part of the problem, and not the solution.

"Unfortunately for us, I doubt this is the case. As far as personal training goes, the fitness industry is BOOMING. Just looking at the running industry specifically, marathons are more popular than ever. The rise of GLP-1s have been getting new inexperienced people in the gym who are eager to have trainers. Hyrox is everywhere now, gyms are packed, etc.

As far as the dietitian part, speaking for myself, I am on a GLP-1 and am in regular contact with the dietitian my prescribing doctor recommended for me. A quick google search also shows a rise in dietitians and nutritionists. As much as we’re all rooting against OP here, one of the side effects of GLP-1s is promoting both industries they’re in. Which is a good thing for humanity!"

This poster said it perfectly. The rise of GLP-1's would make OP's job(s) more solidified, not less.

I would not want to work with OP if she has such a negative view on GLP-1s. I hope she is transparent that she sees her clients who are using GLP-1s as lazy and taking the easy way out so they know to avoid her.

OP is definitely ignorant. Not sure about cnt because I don’t know her. It is ignorant to believe that someone who is 50 or 100 pounds lighter isn’t healthier. OP doesn’t understand the full definition of healthy. Also, why did she feel the need to post this? Maybe that’s where cnt comes in.

Another example of saying someone who is lighter is automatically healthier...

Someone who loses a 100 lbs is of course healthier than they were before they lost the weight.

For many people GLP-1 make them healthier regardless of weight change - they are shown to relieve type 2 diabetes and that is what they were originally developed to treat. It also seems to treat pre-diabetes. It tends to lower cholesterol. It has even been shown to help those with addictions - preventing relapse and lowering overdose rates. ALl the old stuff about healthy lifestyle still stands too -- we need to eat right and exercise. Go find some other thing to complain about, please.

So if I'm an adult who weighs 160lbs, develop a severe eating disorder, and lose 100lbs... I am now HEALTHIER at my new 60lb weight?

Another post saying "we need to eat right and exercise". Again, defending OP's point.

Never mind, I assumed I was responding to an adult who understood that no one who weighs 160 lbs is losing a 100 lbs. Moving on now, as having conversations with you would be like pissing in the wind.

Do those ethics say anything about shitposting and trolling message boards?

It’s not so much the message but the way it was delivered.

And yes, weighing less does mean you are healthier.

What a dipshit.

Ehhhh not exactly. Weighing less does not mean you are healthier. Not trying to argue or defend OP, but that blanket statement isn't true.

It is. It's healthIER than being obese. It might not necessarily be completely healthy. But it's still an improvement. Just the impact on joints alone is an improvement.

Nobody is "triggered." OP is just being put in her place and called out for the opportunist she is.

+1 I had this thought but realized it was juvenile and asinine to actually post it so I didn't. PP needs to self-reflect on their immaturity.

They get off on the idea they are superior than fat people, and when they no longer have that visual to make themselves feel better, have to fantasize about how their arteries are clearer and their blood is more oxygenated. I actually feel sorry for people like the OP.

I was at a dinner party a couple of weeks ago and a very pretty, thin woman in her 50s was ranting on and on negatively about GLP users. She was so critical, and I knew several of us in the room were on them or had been in the past. No one said a word, so I did. All I said was I had taken them in the past, and they were helpful to lose 30lbs. Of course it was awkward after and she was very quiet then. It's like it's the new politics now with people opposing each other.

I have also experienced these people who have never struggled with their weight GLP-1s ranting against them. They are desperate to maintain the moral high ground they have always felt about overweight people. Now they’re no longer overweight, they need to inveigh against the way they got thin. It’s honestly just mean. We aren’t taking these drugs for fun or because we haven’t spent decades trying and failing every single diet and fad.

With all due respect that’s your problem right there. No one loses weight on fad diets. They are not sustainable. To OPs point it’s about learning to live a healthful lifestyle

You couldn’t be more ignorant and more wrong. My point is that we had tried everything. Why do you think 97 percent of people who lose weight put it back on? You think it’s just because they “hadn’t learned to live a healthful lifestyle”? We knew what to do but our bodies worked against us, and over time the growing hunger proved irresistible.

NP. No. But as long as you aren't underweight, it is a healthier weight.

GLP also is interesting because it's not just losing weight. It's removing visceral fat from around organs. Dieting and losing weight doesn't always do that, and not to the same extent that GLPs do.
