What's the explanation for why GLP1 medications are negative things? There are a very minor subset of people that have some medically significant adverse reactions, but it is VERY small. We don't have any evidence to my knowledge of any long term risks with being on it.

GI issues are fairly common and sometimes linger after stopping too. Loss of muscle mass is also common.

Nobody has yet been on these drugs for an entire lifetime - which is what is being advocated in this thread.
