[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw my 52 year old sister; she is positively gaunt and I’d guess about 110 lbs (5’5”). She entered menopause complaining of weight gain (and made mention shedding gained about 50 pounds). We think her “menopause doctor” prescribed GLP and in 4 months, had a dramatic weight loss.

History of yoyo dieting and weight gain/loss and an ED.

She looks awful but thinks she looks fabulous. [/quote]

I wonder how these bodies will fight an illness such as a cancer.[/quote]

Since obesity is strongly connected to increased cancer risk and advancement and worse outcomes, the answer is way better than it would have otherwise.

Oh, and you are an ignorant imbecile.

Just because you are shedding fat from injectables doesn’t mean you are making your body healthier. You might be losing fat but you need to exercise in an intentional and consistent manner to make sure your organs (ie the heart) and muscles are stronger.[/quote]

Thigh girth has been linked to longer life. Muscle

VO2 max numbers have also increase lifespan. That’s cardio

Exercise reduces cancer risk (not about fat loss) but increases blood flow to the brain, reduces risk of cancer and heart attacks from the immune factors it stimulates.

Reducing cancer risk is absolutely about fat loss.  Many cancers are “estrogen positive”and as such, they feed off of the estrogen produced by fat, even in menopause.  I wish someone had explained that to me before I got breast cancer.  My main breast cancer risk factor was being overweight.  I also wish a doctor had listened to me in the 5 years before I got the breast cancer when I was complaining about weight gain and how diet and exercise seemed to have very little impact and that I had to eat an abnormally low number of calories to lose weight. Turns out the cause of my slow weight gain was another illness I was separately diagnosed with. Multiple doctors were very dismissive of my concerns, taking the general view expressed by repeated PPs here that I wasn’t making a serious or effective effort to lose weight. Perhaps had GLPs been available, I could have kept my weight down and avoided breast cancer.[/quote]

This is why I’m wondering why we’re trusting doctors with GLPs. Do you see how much they are getting wrong already? If we find out GLPs cause cancer, what then?[/quote]
