[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indeed. I can’t believe how many people here are taking these drugs despite the side effects. [/quote]
It will be a case of fafo. I am happy for these people, if they are happy. I am on a regimen to lose 20 pounds and I never considered using these drugs. I suspect we will find out in 5 or so more years the true effects of these dugs on the digestive system. I'm thinking cancer will abound in this population: normal weight or barely overweight people with no comorbidities.[/quote]

You realize these drugs have been in use since the early 2000s?[/quote]

Yes my endocrinologist says he’s been prescribing them for 20 years without any concerns.

But he also warned that most people stay on them for life because they don’t make lifestyle changes to maintain the weight loss.

I gained a LOT of weight over the past ten years (had three kids and life’s stress got to me). I am still nursing so couldn’t take a glp-1 but have had lots of success so far going on a primarily whole food plant based diet eliminating meat, dairy, processed foods, oils and tracking my calories. I eat lots of complex carbohydrates and fruits and veggies - oatmeal, seeds, peas, lentils, beans (braised, chilis, soups), salads etc. I really recommend it for anyone who wants to try it themselves before going on a GLP-1. If I hadn’t been nursing, I might have immediately jumped to the GLP 1 but a WFPB diet has changed my relationship with food. [/quote]
