I took a GLP-1 (Mounjaro) for a couple months then stopped. It wasn't all GLP-1 that did the work. I had to track my foods in my Vida app that my workplace pays for and I started walking 10k steps a day. In three months, my triglyceride count dropped from 340 to 92. My cholesterol is totally normal. My A1C went from 5.4 to 5.0. I stopped taking it in October but because I kept up with a diet that is less than 1900 calories a day that is high in fiber and protein, I continue to lose weight.
I am not diabetic and not insulin resistant so that totally helped.
My sleep apnea and IBS has been virtually eliminated altogether.
I do know other people who are on the medicine but haven't taken the proactive approaches like I did to properly track their food and incorporate exercise. So they'll never fully realize the weight loss benefits until that changes or they'll continue to take the GLP-1.
Former weight = 255 lb
Current weight = 212 lb
Goal weight = 185 lb
