Too much, too fast makes it look so unnatural. Always been the case.

The problem is they lose tons of muscle in addition to fat unless they work very hard to prevent it.
NOT that hard.
Health and Fitness is not an area that the FAT Asses of the Rant want to deal with.
They all too concerned with Consessions at LSU football games and can't go 3 hours without stuffing their "Scott Like" fat faces with Aramark garbage.

I thought the exact same thing. He doesn't look well.

Someone with a BMI of over 30 going down to a BMI of 20 is going to lose some muscle obviously but they are also losing lots of subcutaneous and visceral fat. The gains outweigh any losses in muscle. The medicine is a godsend for morbidity obese people and that’s not really even debatable.

Keto/carnivore can do amazing things
Unfortunately not always healthy things. The human liver and kidneys are not designed to catabolise a preponderance of amino acids and fatty acids, even though weight loss is generally a good dietary end game.
Dr Nathan Pritikin, the shining star of 1970's nutritional planning, would be horrified at modern keto diets. He was adamant on a daily dietary regimen of 10% calories from protein, 15% from fats (no trans fat) and 75% complex carbohydrates, natural sourced as in grains, fruits and vegetables (no refined sugars).

I listen to the doctors and was eating the low fat "complex carbohydrate" diet etc. that they recommended while regularly exercising and ended up in the emergency room with a blood sugar over 600 along the way I gained weight, high blood pressure, sky high triglicerides etc. (I made a post years ago about it).
Long story short, I went keto/carnivore and lost all of the weight, gained muscle mass and my blood pressure and blood work are the best they have ever been. All with zero medicine, hell I don't even take Tylenol, cold medicine etc.
Best thing I have ever done, wish I would have switched years ago.
Of course, everyone should follow-up major changes with bloodwork etc. but my kidneys and liver are doing great. The HFCS will do way more damage than fat and protein.

Never heard of him but I wouldn't really put much weight behind the science of the time since most of the nutritional info and dogma of that era is arse backwards due to Ancel Keys and his rigged The Seven Countries Study. But hey do what you want, it is your body and you are the one that will live and die in it.
ETA the 10% protein is laughably low, you will not maintain much less add muscle with that low of protein intake.

Short term, but muscle mass is critical for long term health. It helps prevent many things from metabolic disease and all of the associated conditions to Alzheimer's. The problem is those who don't only use the shot as a jumpstart never rebuild their muscle mass and as they age, they will lose even more muscle mass, so they end up in a bad metabolic state. If they don't do the things necessary to build/maintain muscle mass when they are younger and it is easier to do so, the chance they will do it later in life when it takes much more effort in minimal.

Some of the responses on here are solid gold. The GLP-1s used for their intended purpose literally save lives.
Are they used in instances of vanity? Absolutely they are.
Do they help with A1C control and work amazingly for people with Type2 diabetes? Absolutely they do.
Also the ones that have that shriveled up look are usually fairly new to taking it. As soon as your body gets used to the way the GLP1 slows down the digestive process. You will start to eat again, although much less than before. Then typically you’ll start to fill back out, although much less than before.

I follow a "Pritikin Lite" regimen, with about 20% protein, 20% fat (mostly in the form of olive and peanut oils) and 60% carbs-- very limited to no refined sugars; heavy on rice, muesli-type cereal and Irish potatoes. A1C and blood glucose in the high normal range, cholesterol (esp LDL) and triglycerides normal. BP remains slightly elevated, mostly from too much salt, not enough exercise and excessive poundage.

But they are not the only way. I went from 10.7 A1C to ranging between 4.9-5.7 with no medicine and have maintained for several years.

That is the most important part. If they eat the same way that got them into the situation to need GLP-1 then they will still have problems. Too little protein will lead to muscle mass loss. That is a fact. There has to be meaningful change in diet/exercise to go with the GLP-1.

The Dr prescribing their GLP-1 medicine should certainly play a role in this process. I realize the person taking the GLP-1 may not follow the Dr's advise.

This is nonsense. That's nowhere near enough protein intake to at least maintain muscle mass, much less build new muscle mass which will increase metabolism in the long run. Crazy, excessive methods and fad diets are rarely sustainable.
Slight but consistent caloric deficit after you can figure out your maintenence; cutting back on processed foods, sugar, and alcohol; lifting weights at least 3-4x week with adequate recovery time; and getting in 7 to 10,000 steps a day is a sustainable formula for body recomp. And using an app lke my fitness pal to at least help get a ballpark idea for tracking your calories and macros, instead of trying to guess.
Slow and steady wins the race. Success is having a dedicated mindset to commit to lifestyle changes more than anything else. Create a routine and don't get off the horse.

You can go to hell and shove your beer can up your arse...
I worked out and stopped drinking and still couldn't get below 380. I was walking 3 miles per day and swimming every other day. I started the glp shots and continued doing my work and now weigh 250. All of my blood work is now in the green and I'm off of my blood pressure meds.
My body needed something to Kickstart and this worked. My doctor is completely on board and I still go see him every 3 months.
Im not lazy your freaking moron.
