Weight Control Depends on Calories, Not Lifelong GLP‑1
The most annoying question that everyone keeps asking me is if I have to continue to take a glp-1 for life. Stopping a glp-1 doesn't make you gain weight. Eating a calorie surplus makes you gain weight. I know exactly how to gain and lose weight and I'm great at both :-) All I need to do is stick to ~1800 calories a day and I won't gain a pound. I can do that on a glp-1 or off one. I'd personally rather do it on one because my only side effects have been VERY positive (e.g. I have not been interested in alcohol) but it's always a choice I can make.
