[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yep. It’s a load of something that Rebel and Monday just ate healthy and lost so much weight. Definitely using the drug. I am about to start on it and I’ve told my family and friends. I KNOW I don’t eat so much more than everyone else and yet I am the fatty. So I am thrilled that there is a drug that will take dieting out of the “self control” column and put it into the “biology” column. I also have high cholesterol and have my entire life (when I was thin too) — and so does my extremely thin daughter. It’s genetic and no on bats an eye at putting me on a cholesterol medication. So why is everyone so stealth about going on semaglutides. I will probably be on it for the rest of my life but that’s ok because so many other obesity related risk factors won’t be a constant source of worry. Staying fat is bad. Happy to have this tool![/quote]

Here's the thing, the drug suppresses appetite (from what I understand). So you eat less and lose.  If you are already not eating much, how does it work? It may optimize blood sugar like metformin but otherwise I dont see that it somehow increases your metabolic rate. [/quote]

It makes you eat less than you were eating before. Not that hard to understand. [/quote]

Eh I am not eating way less and I am dropping 2lbs a week minimum, likely a bit over 10lbs and I will take my 5th shot Sunday. Its unclear because I only have my weight from the doctors office and then got a scale almost 2 weeks in. I am also on my period but the scale hasnt gone up, it usually goes up 3-5 lbs for the week of my period and I weigh less consistently this week than the week prior.

Ive counted macros and weighed my food before so I have a pretty good internal estimator. Im still bringing in 1700 calories. Just calculated today and its 1667 give or take 50 calories. [/quote]

Meh, there’s no evidence so far that the weight loss mechanism is through anything except the appetite suppression from the delayed gastric emptying and alteration in hunger and fullness cues. I bet you were just eating more than you thought you were before. [/quote]

And you would be wrong I was weighing food and eating 1750 calories for months. I get it CICO CICO CICO and yet.....[/quote]

Meh, I’ll change my mind if I see some data. [/quote]
