@3nthro This is not to say you should stop eating the foods you love, I still chimp out once every 1-2 weeks and have a day where I literally eat whatever I want! But for the remainder of the time I eat at or below maintenance and strength train 3-4x a week and get my 10k daily steps in
@3nthro 60% of users end up regaining their weight back because it is fundamentally a lifestyle issue, you can just start off by making better, sustainable, choices most of the time and moving more/strength training and actually keep the weight off.
@3nthro for extremely overweight individuals I agree, but if you are just _fat_ then give it an genuine go first and if you really have to then by all means hop on. This is coming from a person who used to be really fat.
@quiveron_x Studies even showed that 40% of the weight lost while on ozempic was muscle mass so their metabolism ended up tanking as a result, plus your performance in the gym gets worse because you can't eat the necessary amount of carbs and protein due to feeling so full.
I suspect this comes from the friction I experience when trying to perform the mental context switch from gigaturboretard mode to curiousnuancedcriticalthinking mode
