many similar posts like this so congrats... but i guess i need a new hobby in this 'new body.' I actually still don’t have any sort of regular exercise regiment after 100+lb lost. and yes fitness difference is drastic - walking through the parking lot into a store would have me winded and now I choose to park at the end because I find it refreshing to stretch my legs. And I sleep so much more comfortably now too.

General groceries as people eat less
Diet-based weight loss industry (because people need less help eating well)

This is based on my own activity. Since losing 15% of my body weight, I workout tons more, eat out less, snack less, am willing to spend more money on quality fashion pieces and beauty products as I feel better about myself

this was reported on recently.

Restaurants are taking a hit and we might see restaurants responding with lower portion foods that cost a bit less.

Chipotle, etc are taking a hit.

Groceries stores... yea, I didn't see this coming, but less food. IDK, for my family my boys are still eating a ton (they are underweight for their height).

I am doing more quality workouts like Pickleball, hiking, yoga. the gym classes might take a hit.

Clothes.. oh wow, I have gone down 1 size but my friends have gone down 2 or 3 so definitly need new clothes.

If Chipotle is taking a hit it is not because of GLP-1. Chipotle is the only fast food you can eat. No rice, double chicken is about as good as you can do. More people on GLP eating there now than before.

false. GLP-1 is not anti-carb

No. But if you want to lose weight and you are over 25 you have to watch carbs.

And not false --- Cava and Chipotle are filled with cops/fire/military guys because they can eat this, keep carbs low and get the right protein. Same with people on diets. It is what you want to do.

The shots have made me repulsed by meat and I’m losing weight and not losing muscle. I’m 50 and have gone for more than one body composition scan so I know that it’s true. I eat a little meat at the end of the week occasionally when I can. It’s false that everyone on this is eating only low carb now.

1 person’s story doesn’t change general trends.

I’m not on GLP-1s, but have been focused on steadily losing weight over a few years. I will echo what others said - I had zero interest in working out with others in paid workout settings until I got my weight into a range where I felt comfortable sweating and huffing and struggling among other people. I think gyms and trainers will benefit as people look to translate their slimmer bodies into tighter, stronger, and more toned bodies.

Restaurants and bars are going to suffer. There’s a place for the occasional butter/oil slathered indulgence in any diet, but the current industry was built around people eating out or ordering in multiple times per week and buying high margin drinks. The industry needs to offer more options to people who don’t want to blow their diet every time they eat out. I hate it when I travel and eat a 750 calorie salad that leaves me starving when a 350 calorie salad I make at home fills me up for hours.

airlines - smaller passengers is a big win for them.

The alcohol industry should be worried more.

The wine industry is already in trouble as the younger generation isn't as into it as boomers and GenX were. I was in NoCal recently after harvest and sooooo many grapes were left to rot on the vine.

I definitely pay more attention to what I eat as I want to get the correct nutrition so the protein shake industry is getting my business too.

There are teens and people who are much older than me.

I am a women in my 50s and my kids are teens so I have more time now. I’m taking this time for myself and doing this!

Keep it up!
