god... 133kg down to 88kg, that's like a dream to me. Years of trying to get under 100 by 'traditional' calorie restriction diet & exercise.

One of my friends has tried many fad diets, etc. and he finally just went and paid cash for a GLP-1 and he's lost a lot of weight and is feeling much better. If I were in that situation, I would just do the same.

  • bringing it down is not even half the battle, it's what happens next is the more interesting part

    • These drugs are like psychedelics. There are lots of non users talking about them like they know them but all they did is read stuff in popular media.

      My friend cut usage after he lost weight and finds maintenance easy.

some fun study sort of concluded that the ratio carbs vs fat and protine is the entire mechanic. fat people who eat almost nothing eat only carbs thin people who can eat huge amounts every day eat a lot of fat and protein. Both eat other things just not as much.

  • I really eat a lot. When my gf cooked more and the potato meat ratio changed from 1:3 to 3:1 I immediately started to grow fat. I had her adjust it to 1:1 and started eating lots of sausages and chicken legs between meals. 500g to a kg per day worth of extra food. My body fat declined rapidly.
