Fatties around the world thought their problem had been solved by GLP-1 drugs which slow gastric processes and promote satiety. It’s been a nice investment opportunity in Lilly stock. But while drugs like Zepbound are huge successes, the fatties are still left with problems like nausea and muscle loss.
So this morning there is Replenza a concoction designed to maintain muscle mass while losing flab. Will it actually work, probably not, but the market opportunity has been targeted. Somebody will come up with something that helps. Maybe it will have side effects, in which case another remedy will be found to stop that.
Money will be made, but I doubt you can permanently slow down the gastric system without consequences. Maybe this is a good short term solution to weight loss. But early research shows people who come off drugs put the weight back on and then some.
Better not to be a fatty at all. My solution……a small breakfast, a late lunch and only a snack at about 7.00. Then the crucial step, after the snack at 7.00 floss and brush, that sets up a mental barrier against further eating. After a few weeks you will find it becomes a habit guarding against late night snacking that goes straight to the belly.
