I'll probably be downvoted for this but honestly it seems like a lot of the benefits of semiglutide are literally just benefits of fasting.

- DwnVoteHoneyPot 8mo agoYou think fasting improves knee osteoarthritis independent of weight loss?
- cultofmetatron 8mo agofasting is generally highly correlative with weight loss. Its also correlative with reduction in inflammation which is often the underlying cause of arthritis in general. I also would be curious to see what the outcome of fasting would be in a person undertaking an 18 hour fast while consuming enough calories during the feeding window to maintain a caloric surplus.
- quacker 8mo agoIt's a good idea. There are many studied benefits to (intermittent) fasting, for example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11262566/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11262566/
