[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][size=9] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I am in exactly the same boat you are in. On the smallest dose, I can’t imagine that the most harmful side effects even happen. And my doc is telling me that they are finding these meds to be beneficial in other ways, for example to help with autoimmune diseases. [/quote]

My prescriber is a small woman, she has no weight to lose or worry about maintaining, and she takes a GLP-1 once a month because she believes in the studies showing the long-term benefits in staving off dementia. [/quote]

Wow, the world really has gone nuts hasn’t it. Hint: there are no studies that show normal weight people who take a GLP1 once a month stave off dementia.[/quote]

Honest question not mean to be snarky, why are you so anti GLP-1s? What's your personal beef with it?

What’s my personal beef with people with eating disorders using fake health claims to justify what they do?[b] Is that really the question?[/b]

By the way, I am far from the only one commenting strongly on this topic. [/quote]

Yes, that's exactly the question. I could see you feeling sorry for people you think have eating disorders using this method to lose more weight. Or perhaps being worried for them. But instead you seem personally angry at them. You're acting like the choice to take a GLP-1 when not obese is a personal affront to you. Is there a reason? [/quote]

Not pp. But it contributes to a highly misogynistic culture that feeds an epidemic of disordered eating. Teenage girls die of heart attacks thanks to this. [/quote]
20 is a healthy BMI. 18-25 is recommended to reduce strain on your heart.  OP is not causing anorexia or heart attacks. [/quote]

A BMI of 20 is normal weight ... but normal goes all the way up to 24.9, and we don't tend to get thinner as we age and approach/enter menopause. No 44 year-old woman should be taking anti-obesity meds to get to a BMi of 20.  [/quote]
This doesn’t make any sense.  44 is likely pre-menopausal. Which you’ve acknowledged means they will likely go up in BMI in the next handful of years. Why is this not reasonable? [/quote]
