Sadly in the first minute after the run a milkshake will add back 400 calories.

The insane efficiency of the body is the problem.

30 minutes of agony -- the jog -- can be thrown out the window with literally one minute (60 seconds) of overeating.

That's why I think exercise plus GLP-1 medications once a year might be the future gold standard for weight loss and maintenance.

Any thoughts on GLP-1 meds being the game changer we need?

It’s more the insane energy density of the milkshake. If you spent the same time eating a carrot you wouldn’t have this issue.
The only game changer is to stop taking shortcuts and start really taking care of yourself.

GLP-1 are crutches and if you need it once a year.

But that hasn't been working for the average American, right?

Aging is rough.

And the high calorie to nutrient ratio in this country makes it really hard to avoid adding pounds.

This country is calorie and diet obsessed, and yet average weight seems to keep increasing.

Don't GLP-1 meds currently have bad side effects for a lot of people?
