[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a chubby woman. In my 20s and early 30s I looked objectively very pretty, and was thin. I have gained more and more weight since turning 40 and I tried semaglutide, then regained when I stopped. If you were me, would you consider going on it permanently? I am not a bad eater, I don't drink, I am active. I try dieting and lose 5, gain 2, lose 7, gain 5...and so on. It's like I cannot maintain a calorie deficit for the long run without semaglutide. I don't think I'd care if I were one of these women who can look gorgeous heavier, but my features get lost when I am heavy.[/quote]

Weight loss is not about counting calories. That is old school thinking. Eliminating sugary foods and beverages, highly processed foods, and high carb foods will cause weight loss.[/quote]

This is completely inaccurate. Weight loss is exactly about counting calories. I’m very short and I went through my 40’s not able to lose a lb and continued gaining. They say, never go below 1200 calories but unfortunately that’s not true when you are so short. You need to eat less. Sure, it’s better to eat better foods but it’s really about how much you’re eating.  For the OP, continue on with the semiglutide and feel good about yourself. I think that you can slowly taper off.  Maybe you need the shot once a month or every other week. I started it and have finally lost the extra weight that I put on. It’s so nice to not be constantly thinking about feeling fat, what I should eat, etc. the food noise is gone. [/quote]

It’s not about counting calories. If anything it’s about counting macros. That is why adopting a low carb lifestyle diet is so effective, especially when done in conjunction with intermittent fasting.

Counting calories is old school and not as effective. [/quote]
