That's because a lot of the "traditional way" methods are pseudoscience at best, outright quackery that's going to send you into serious malnutrition issues or eating disorders at worst. Every two or three months you see a new diet fad pushed through the yellow press rags, and none of it anywhere near being considered scientifically valid - usually it's some VIP shilling some crap story to explain how they lost weight, of course without telling the people that they have the time for training and the money to pay for proper food, 1:1 training and bloodwork analysis.
- _9ptr 1y agoI would have thought the "traditional way" would simply be eat less, move more (by changing your habits of course).
- firesteelrain 1y agoGLP-1 makes you want to eat less. So you are correct.
- mschuster91 1y agoThe problem is, most people aim way too high in their weight-loss target and sending their bodies into starvation mode, which will lead the body to reacquire the lost body fat as soon as possible - aka when people are happy with their body weight and scale up their food intake to caloric neutral again.
- _9ptr 1y agoThere is no such thing as starvation mode. If you consistently don't overeat, you won't gain your weight back.
