Weight loss happens.
Insulin sensitivity improves.
Metabolic health improves.
But the minute you go off of it, if you've made no other changes in your life, you will gain the weight back.
The hunger rebound is intense.
And as any time when you're losing weight, you will lose muscle mass.
I don't believe that you lose more muscle mass on these drugs than you would in a caloric deficit on its own.
Because all they really do is just induce a caloric deficit, meaning you eat less.
If you don't resistance train while you're on the drug, if you don't eat the right amount of protein, if you're not lifting weights and building your muscles or at least preserving as many as you can while you're losing weight, as soon as you come off, you're just going to be back where you were before with less muscle.
Your hunger is going to come back and you're going to eat again and you're going to gain back more weight, this time just with less muscle.
So they are dangerous in the sense that if you don't do anything that you need to while you're doing it, you could leave yourself either on the drug for the rest of your life, which I don't think anybody really wants, or in a worse off position because you have less muscle mass and then you start eating the same way you ate before and then you gain it all back and then some.
So these tools are extremely powerful.
Sema, TERS, and RETA.
And when they're used in the right way, you can have tremendous impact on your life.
Now, is there anything else that comes anywhere close to those three compounds?
Absolutely not.
There's nothing else that comes to mind that is anywhere near it.
And even if you're going to use them, you still have to make the fundamental lifestyle choices so that you're not addicted and hooked on the drugs forever.
And this is, I'm assuming, what we call for weight loss, because that's what it really is.
It was obviously made for diabetics, but they saw the effects on everybody.
