bill_schubertThe best description of what semaglutide does is that it lowers food noise. That results in much less enjoyment of food but obviously lower intake equalling lower weight. Caloric deficit.
I started moving my frequency of GLP-1 shots so that I'm now taking one of the same quantity every 10 days. My weight is unchanged. My goal is to lock in a platform of 185 which is overweight by govm't standards and by med standards but were I to drop the next 10 pounds they say I should I'd be wiry and not in a good way. I could easily do it, go down to 175 or less but I wouldn't be able to retain or increase any muscle mass.
My gual now is 185, a 38" waist which is achieved by an increase in muscle mass, and be off the expensive drugs.
I'm one for three at the moment.
But the noise is picking up a bit. I don't much enjoy the necessity of maintaining a reasonable level of caloric intake when I want more and no longer get nauseous when I eat too much. It is going to take some work and not needing to pay attention has made me lazy.
I'm committed to the goals so I'll get there with or without semaglutide but it is an interesting process. At the moment I really don't want interesting. I want frictionless.
