After 10 years of natural lifting, my maintenance calorie at sub 20% body fat is higher than when I was obese, normalized/settled at ~35% body fat around the same weight. Easier to maintain weigth and appearance than ever. And apart from hammering down some protein shakes, I eat whatever, like obesity days. That said eating clean does do wonders for my performance and energy levels. Ozempic probably has much greater gen pop appeal since it's a pill, and probably what one needs to stay on if they need to stablize below their natural setpoint. But sometimes I wonder if segments of population wouldn't be better off with a few dollars of testosterone and one day at gym a week before resorting to Ozempic. If only more longintunal research was done on moderate test usage. Arguably most slight-modest overweight people would look much better recompositing to more muscle at their current weight. That said I do have make an slight effort to be 5-10lbs shy of my setpoint weight during less active periods of winter. That few extra lbs is when I start experiencing health issues like gastric reflux and increase in blood pressure.
