“Am I the last fat person in America?” asks @damemagazine’s Kate Bernyk. She writes about the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, the message that delivers to fat people — ”Your body is a mistake, and now there’s finally a way to fix it,” — and why she doesn’t want to take medication to change her size. “The idea of eliminating any kind of body should terrify us — not just because it’s wrong, but because it’s unimaginative,” she writes.

Nevertheless, when you compare long-term risk for diseases like heart attacks, the Mediterranean diet lowers risk of cardiac events by 30 per cent, outperforming GLP-1 medications that lower risk by 20 per cent. While weight loss will always be faster with medications, for overall health, dietary approaches are superior to medications.

'People who stop weight loss drugs return to original weight within year, analysis finds'

"Analysis of 11 studies of older and newer GLP-1 weight loss drugs by the University of Oxford found that patients typically lost 8kg on weight loss jabs but returned to their original weight within 10 months of stopping them."

"The study, presented at the European Congress on Obesity, found that even for those taking newer, higher-dose weight loss drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, people put weight back on once they stopped treatment."

"The findings raise issues for the NHS, as Nice guidelines state people should not be on weight loss injections for more than two years. Additionally, many patients give up the treatment, whether because they are buying it privately so cannot afford it, because the side-effects do not suit them or because they are not losing weight any more."

“We need to ensure patients have the support to make the changes in their behaviour they need to sustain the benefits of treatment. [Weight loss jabs] are an adjunct to behavioural change, not a replacement.”

Spent the last 2 and a half weeks a bit of my normal schedule. With the new kiddo arriving early, and adjusting to taking care of a newborn again, I ended up dropping from to a single workout a day. Prioritized my running and cycling and fit in strength about 4 times during these last 4 weeks. I've also had a lot more days than usual eating at maintenance rather than a deficit.

But today I'm refocusing on getting a routine reestablished. So back to 2-a-days and back to planning all my meals in advance in order to hit my targets.

I don't expect it to be as consistent as it was before he was born. But if you shoot for the stars you may just hit the moon. Or something like that. Yea, let's go with that.

Today. 45-60 minute push session. In progress right now. This evening, 30 minute zone 2 run.

A perk to losing weight that I didn't realize until recently -

Your shoes last longer.

I still walked a ton when I was about twice as much as I was a waiter, and stress walked when I wasn't at work.

I don't usually have a lot of shoes. I get one or two I like and replace them when they start falling apart.

A pair would last me about three months.

It's more like 5-6 months now.

Which makes sense - you put less force on your shoes if you weigh less.
