I did lose 30-40kg about 2 years ago on Ozempic.

I don't count calories. I went off Ozempic (now Mounjaro) and I gain weight at about 0.5-1kg a month.

As I am resistance (gym) training, significant % of that ends up being muscle mass rather than fat.

So I end up taking Mounjaro for about 1-2 months every 3-4 months, approximately 33% of the time being "on".

Funnily, I end up with bulk/cut periods without doing them explicitly. This ends up working well for growing muscles.

Notice all people in the story are women. I guess pairing GLP-likes with bodybuilding works quite well for men. As times goes on, I end up needing mounjaro less due to my increased muscle mass.

When you restart taking it after an "off" period, do you immediately resume whatever dose you were at before? Or do you taper up each time? (Curious because I know for many people, side effects level out after they've been at a given dose for long enough, but temporarily return whenever they increase their dose; not sure how "off" periods affect that kind of tolerance.)

yeah that is how ppl become obese. over 2-5 years it adds up

Notice all people in the story are women.

Probably due to social media. Women may be more inclined to show off their success online. Also, women respond better to these drugs compared to men.
