[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long story short, I was on/off GLP1's for almost 2 years. I lost around 70 lbs. I am gaining weight back (maybe not 100% surprising) but I can tell it's mostly from inflammation. I have some sort of autoimmune issue (they don't know what specific one) that causes inflammation. When I was on GLP1's, I felt so much better. No joint pain, no constant puffy-ness. Weight gain aside, I just want to get rid of this feeling again. Does anyone have experience with a supplement that decreases inflammation?[/quote]

Yes, it’s called fiber - from food, not supplements. If you eat the RDA of fiber daily, you’ll be giving your gut microbes the food they need to make short chain fatty acids, which are anti inflammatory and healing for the body in many ways. The only way to get SCFAs is by eating fiber from real food.

Obviously also ditch refined sugars, added sugars, and ultra processed foods all of which trigger inflammation and also disrupt the gut biome.

The seat of health is in the gut. The weight loss drugs are an important tool but long term the best way to keep the weight off and improve health is by increasing fiber intake and decreasing the intake of processed sweets and also saturated fats from animal foods. Cut as far back as possible - I still consume a little but it’s dramatically less than my typical American diet once was.

If it feels overwhelming start small with something you like. Try some figs every day. Then add a serving of beans every day. A serving of walnuts which are a superfood that protects the brain and heart. Etc.

You’ll find if you can build a diet around getting the RDA of fiber, the fiber triggers nearly the same satiety as the glp1s without any of the negative side effects. Instead you’ll have a super healthy gut and be able to keep your weight from rising anymore.

One of my favorite regular dishes is whole wheat penne pasta - Barilla’s has very high fiber - tossed with artichoke hearts and mushrooms or very young small sweet peas in a sundried tomato pesto sauce with toasted pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. It’s freaking delish and packed with fiber and plant protein. I’ve been losing weight on this dish for weeks now, let me know if you’d like the link to the recipe.[/quote]
