Nitpick, but this is misunderstanding GLPs (I'm on them). If you don't change your diet and your habits, yeah, you'll temporarily lose weight but it'll come right back when you're off it AND you'll lose a lot of muscle. You kinda still need to do "the right things", it's not a magic cure all. (Of course, same thing can be said of AI).

A fair callout, though yes it was supposed to be a simplified analogy. I think you got it exactly right though that its temporary in the same that I'd argue the benefits of using AI are temporary

I definitely agree with your overall point, just wanted to correct that one thing.

GLP's don't make you lose muscle. Losing weight without exercising does.

You'll get the exact same muscle loss with a CICO calculation weight loss.
