[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since she's losing weight, she's eating less. [b]You can lose weight eating any kind of junk if you just eat very little.[/b]

But for her health, she's supposed to be getting a lot of protein, calcium, and water. Because when you eat a lot less but most of it is junk, you'll have health issues. (And I'm with PP, I can't tolerate fast food on glp-1.)[/quote]

I don’t understand this or how anyone on glp-1s loses weight by eating junk foods (clearly there are more than one per this thread). I’m on Weight Watchers (have been on “maintenance” for several years), and on that program foods are assigned point values mainly based on their macros. Even small amounts of pizza and ice cream are enough points that if I consistently eat them, I exceed my daily allotted point value and start to gain weight. Eg, today I ate a plain yogurt with fruit for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch, snacked on fruit and avocado, and had a big salad with grilled chicken sausage and roasted veggies for dinner. So no junk. This brought me close to my total point value for the day. We went out for ice cream for dessert and just a small cup of vanilla basically doubled my total points for the day.

All I can imagine is that glp-1’s do more than curb appetite, but also change one’s metabolism. And this is why people like me would love to go on a glp-1, even though I am “only” 130 lbs at 5’4”. [/quote]

Instead of a whole turkey sandwich I am full from, for example, one single fried chicken finger and a couple French fries. (That was my lunch several times when I went to Disney this summer.) My meal was objectively junk food but probably lower in calories than your sandwich. [/quote]

Yes, the WW points help someone to achieve an overall healthy diet while feeling full enough. With a GLP-1 you can feel full with just a small amount of junk food, but that’s not going to be healthy long term. Some people get malnutrition from taking GLP-1 and not eating right.[/quote]
