If people aren’t eating on GLP-1 drugs how R they not weak/tired? Body using fat for fuel?

Just curious. How are all these people not cranky and tired? I’m assuming their bodies are burning fat and using it for fuel. Is their fat literally replacing food??

I know they eat a little, but there are some people who I’ve heard are barely eating anything at all.

It’s one thing to not want to eat, but it’s another thing to not NEED to eat

It causes slow digestion, so they always feel full. Most are so overweight, they have so much fat that it can’t burn fast enough. My best guess anyway

When you are burning fat for fuel and are well adapted to it, you feel amazing with tons of energy

It’s just an appetite suppressant. And that is just a previously unknown side effect.

You aren’t hungry so you aren’t cranky. You start losing weight and immediately feel better.

Unless you start having gastric issues. Retaining food longer than the body intended is something that is really fairly new. Maybe it ends up fine? Maybe we’ve just scratched the surface on issues. Will take time to find out.

Was there a study that showed people on GLP-1 drugs had proportionate loss in muscle mass in comparison to fat loss?
