GLP-1 Enthusiast
See, this is where I think there is a difference in the 2 types of people taking GLP1s. There are the people who sound like they were fit and healthy before and just used it to get really shredded (which you sound like you fit here, as you have lots of healthy lifestyle habits anyway which you were able to stick to without the reta) and the people who were obese and struggled with controlling their intake before the meds.I'll be titrating down over the course of a couple of months until I can come off completely. I'll be continuing my habit of daily weigh ins, daily cardio, and weightlifting 4-5 days per week. I was doing all of this before going on Reta, and I was losing weight fine without it, but I've had essentially zero cravings while on Reta. It has definitely been easier to lose these last few pounds than it would have been without.
If I gain a bit of weight back, I'm fine with that. I want to try to put on some muscle over the winter anyway, and with my current level of hunger being basically zero that would be impossible. If I need to go back on Reta in the spring to lean out again, I'm fine with that.
Group 1 will be able to stop the meds. Group 2 will struggle if they do.
