but what about the people with a BMI already under 20?

not like we can take GLP-1 even if it was affordable

btw soluble fiber helps people naturally secrete more GLP-1 but of course not on the same level as a dedicated drug

What's preventing you from taking a GLP-1 with a BMI under 20? I started semaglutide with my BMI at 19.

    • In the UK you just fill in an online form. I don't think anyone is going to come and weigh you to double check what you put in the form is true. Almost zero oversight which is a bit shocking really.

  • If you don't have diabetes, it would be off label use in that case, which is not illegal.

  • that's fascinating to me as I've not heard any similar feedback and it seemed counter-intuitive

    may I ask for how long now? are you athletic? have you experienced any muscle loss?
