Can I ask how many calories you eat on a glp 1?

I assume you saw a gp. As this would be biologically impossible, it takes 3-4000 cals a day to sustain a 27 stone woman depending on height.

1000 is something that needs to be investigated as it would be th4 first in human history,

”Can you now see that it does?”

and the award for most patronising post goes to you @Viviiene

Oh please. We’re fat, not thick.

99.99% of obese people know the science behind losing weight. There are a plethora of physical and psychological reasons why DOING this is made much, much harder.

Unfortunately yes .
Do you think I would willingly choose to eat so little
I bloody love food ,as does anyone who gets to 27 stone.but I like being alive more

You had to drop to 1000 cals to lose weight at 27 stone?

My BMR is 1013 and my TDEE is 1370. I lost over 6 stone on 800 calls and have never felt healthier.

I ate 75g of protein today, which is over my daily target. I always hit my macros and have always taken multi vitamins even before weight loss. I have a job where I move all day, I walk 10,000+ steps a day and I can lift 70lbs. But ok.

I would absolutely love to of been able to do that .
But at 27 stone ,I was barely moving,I couldn't stand up long enough to cook dinner .I couldn't walk anywhere,I struggled getting upstairs.
My metabolism was shot to peices from bulimia as a teenager and yo yo dieting of loosing and gaining 5 stone many times..plus numerous pregnancies and weight gain and loss after .
I'm currently in menopause as well
I tried eating 1700 calories on monjroro and because I was so inactive at such a high weight,I didn't loose any .
I had to drop to 1000 to get any loss at all.
Now im 12 stone down .but I've had to drop very low to do it .

Crazy to see the amount of under eating. I'm a physician and lost 3 stone on MJ eating 1850 cal. Maintained now.

Where have we been hearing for years that eating less and calorie counting doesn’t work? I have known since at least the 80s about counting calories and have never heard anyone say it doesn’t work?

In terms of finances I probably don’t save as much as expected by some as I buy far better quality food now.

Those who are now counting calories are you making massive savings as eating probably half what you used to?

Does it surprise you how much you used to consume compared to what you eat now? Genuine question, I'm not being goady we've just heard for years that eating less and counting calories didn't work. Can you now see that it does?

This thread is really quite frightening. There’s no way anyone’s maintenance calories are 1000, even a small child requires more than this a day to stay alive. Eating 800 calories every day is an eating disorder. You’re unwell and need help.

An adult should be consuming absolute minimum 1500 to survive. That’s just if you don’t move around at all. Obviously when trying to drop weight people reduce down to 1200-1300 or something and feel ok. There’s just no way anyone feels sustained on 800 cals unless you literally don’t move at all.

I lost a lot of weight years ago pre jabs and I did it initially through the 5:2 diet. Fast days were super hard for me, I felt moody, had headaches, would shake etc but I persevered for a few months till my appetite reduced overall. On non fast days I’d eat about 1400-1500. I also exercised every day- either a YouTube HIIT video, dumbbells or running. Lost the 7 stone in a year and kept it off. Now a perfectly healthy weight and long distance runner, I’d guess I eat 1800 a day.

For those on 700-800 calorie diets -
you will not be getting enough protein,
nutrients or energy from this diet for healthy functioning. You will not be hitting basic daily energy requirements. Of course you will lose weight! But you will completely mess your metabolism and your endocrine system in the process.

Why do you think you seem to be only able to eat 1000 calories after doing this without putting on weight? It’s because you’ve slowed your metabolism, messed up your hormones and lost muscle.

Please listen to some of the posters on here who have lost weight sensibly without going too low on calories. They then built muscle and now eat a decent amount! Without putting it back on. That is sustainable and healthy. Love those on 2000 plus calories! The muscle needs this.

A diet of 800 calories and less should be done under strict medical supervision - what does that tell
you?

I think the poster can, a general consensus means most people and they will be correct. It doesn’t mean every person.

yes disabled people. Very short people etc maybe fine on this,I don’t think anyone is saying otherwise but for the majority then it is not a healthy enough consumption to maintain density and health long term.

My consultant endocrinologist disagrees with you.

I am disabled so my “calories out” side of the equation is impacted slightly. Also I am sixty, so my metabolism is working at a very different level to when I was in my forties.

Just because that level of calorie intake would be too low for you doesn’t mean you can extrapolate that to a general consensus.

Yeah that makes sense, as above - I’ve got (at least a basic) understanding of BMR & TDEE.

My surprise is that anyone’s pushes them to that low calorie a diet, on a long term basis.

I know people do short term low calorie diets, but I’m (genuinely) surprised that it would be recommended for anyone to consume 800-1000 calories on a long term sustained basis.
