re: GLP-1 Drugs Can Be Used First for Weight Loss Says American College of Cardiology

Translation: we've been telling you to lose weight for so long that we're giving up. Just get on the shot, fatty

That shite blows out gallbladders but they fail to mention.

Losing and gaining weight over and over also damages the gallbladder. It's less about the GLP itself and the large weight loss that typically comes with it.

My position on this solidified last year.

You should only do this if you have the means to take them forever.

If you don’t have the means to take them forever, once you’re off of them, your relationship with food will remain unchanged. And the reason you’re fat is because you use food as a crutch.

Figure out why you want to eat so much in the first place.

I have zero problem exercising but want immediate results which I know don’t happen.

Once excess weight is off it’s easy to keep it off with just a little excercise and smart eating.

This is patently not true for most people.

Cocaine can also be used.

Can=\=should

Can =\= best option

Can =\= without side effects

Can =\= right for everyone

This is an ignorant and simplistic take on a complicated problem. Once you’re morbidly obese for years and you have trained both your mind and your body to deal with problems by craving junk foods and high calorie binges coupled with a life of bad dietary decisions it is so incredibly easy to slip back into bad habits and balloon up again before you know it. You are not mentally or physically capable of dealing with staying thin without dedicated effort and training and reprogramming of your physical and mental needs and reflexes. And even then it is a daily struggle akin to sobriety from drug addiction .

These people need help not some quick weight loss from pills.

Yeah my doctor (and close friend) was telling me a lot of the issues seem to be based around overly high dosages of the drugs.

And they are embarrassed. Tons of morbidly obese people come home from work and are basically shut ins because they are embarrassed to walk around the neighborhood at 3 bills.

If any of them are reading this, I’ll just say most of us who workout and see big people working out cheer them on. I like when I see someone putting in effort. I’m not gonna say anything to them because that’s not my place, but in my head I am glad they are out there. I like seeing people outside and moving.

Many morbidly obese people , after a 100 lb weight loss caused by a GLP-1, will discover diet and exercise.


There’s no way you actually believe this

---

you're so cynical. you think they should discover exercise when they're 100lbs overweight and would probably injure themselves in the first 10 minutes?

maybe they do, maybe they dont, but they have a better shot at getting in shape without a 100lb weight on top ruining their knees and in general preventing proper workout techniques.
