It think it’s important to get it off in any medically approved safe way that works for you.

But beyond cost, given the various health risks (newest reported is an increased risk in eye strokes resulting in partial blindness), I hope some of you will consider ways you can change your lifestyle to maintain the weight loss without taking these drugs forever.

Chuck Carroll is host of The Exam Room, a podcast of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine which focuses on eating for health and as much plant based as possible. It’s a great resource. Carroll lost a few hundred pounds following weight loss surgery, and maintains it by following a plant based diet and moving his body for physical as well as mental health.

Eating a high fiber diet is the only way to cultivate a truly healthy gut biome which then produces an abundance of short chain fatty acids that are critical to overall health in the body.

Eating less of a diet poor in nutrition will result in weight loss, and carrying less weight improves health - but only a truly healthy diet will result in overall excellent health.

Forgot to say - eating a high fiber diet, especially daily consumption of legumes, compels the gut biome to trigger the hormone production that signal satiety and the end of the food noise and cravings. A high fiber diet is nature’s semaglutide and fiber is much cheaper and doesn’t have negative side effects.

Avoid sugar that is stripped of fiber - sugar without fiber is metabolic poison in the body and drives overconsumption as well.

You’ve posted this before in many other GLP-1 threads. We know.

But don’t these medications eventually stop suppressing hunger?

Really hope i continue to lose - I’ve got at least 20 pounds more to go.
