My understanding is that it slows the digestive process, so there isn't more "empty time to repair or relax".

But my thinking there may be naive.





At this point most experts lean more heavily on the effect of GLP1s in the brain rather than delayed gastric emptying -- it's more of a brain drug than anything else which is why it works so well.

I just know someone who skips breakfast and lunch on the jabs… maybe he eats dinner I’ve not checked.

Anecdotally speaking I can confirm this… it gets easy to just skip a meal, and you may end up skipping the entire day because the usual hunger signals are just not there.

For anyone tempted by that concept, please don’t and remember to try to eat your 1000-1500 calories every day.

Quick weight loss won’t do you any good if you lose all your muscle mass, or if you carve a deeper groove into body image issues.

It’s cliche but it’s true, slow and steady is the way to go.
