>Around the same time, I decided to try and lose the weight I had gained while building the factory. I ate nothing but chicken for six months. While this diet got some results, I plateaued. My doctor suggested tirzepatide, a GLP-1 medication.

This is a poor diet, where are the carbs and fats? So you dieted badly, and your conclusion from this is to use GLP drugs?

Did you ever try a moderate deficit over long periods of time?

We run a public benefit app called macrocodex which is completely free, no paywall, no subscription, and it produces guaranteed weight loss or gain within 2 to 4 weeks.

Most people never see a weight loss plateau; you can read the reviews if you are skeptical of the claims.

Problem with GLP-1 agonists is that it's very easy for a person to crash their diet.

In GLP-1s drug use, the primary cause of weight loss by reduction in appetite/desire to eat -> you eat less -> calorie deficit -> weight loss

Deficit doesn't really go away! So it's funny when people say "calorie deficit doesn't work but GLP drugs do", I wonder if they believe GLP-1 have secret fat melting property or something.
