I think all we can do is continue the conversation and ignore the attempts to hijack.
op, I think you’ve a point, when I previously lost weight, my stomach was the last to shrink and was never flat, even when I was slim. And as said, this time round it has shrunk back and is pretty flat even though I’m currently hovering above a bmi 25. I think this is down to my body now managing insulin and cortisol correctly with the help of the drug, as does my doctor.
the other surprising thing for me, is I gained weight in my upper arms during pregnancy, and they have shrunk back, something I’ve never been able to achieve before, I do free weights, but have always done them, they are now nearly back to pre pregnancy levels. With definition, and my child is a young adult. Which shows how long it’s been an area the fat didn’t shift.
howver on saying that, my current eating plan is the healthiest it has ever been, I seldom drink and I eat clean healthy foods within a calorie deficit. As I don’t crave unhealthy foods, it is relatively easy to make those healthy choices, all day every day, so my skin, eyes, face, look healthier. I’m not binging the night after a weigh in for example.
I also exercise a lot more than ever before, as I have much more energy, both cardio and strength, and all those things I think have improved my health, and it is clearly visible.
on other diets, especially unhealthy ones ie where they let you eat unlimited potatoes for example, it doesn’t lead to a healthy or sustainable outcome for many, where as with injections, you’re encouraged to eat a healthy diet, manage your macros, eat enough protein, drink enough water, and most prescribers are very keen to communicate this to their patients, so you get the time to learn these new habits, to eat healthy sized portions, understand macros etc, so if you chose to come off them, you’ve a strong chance of maintaining.
