Obesity vs Overweight & Its Effect on Keeping It Off

I’ve been in every GLP sub on Reddit for a while now. If there’s one subject that stands out to me as the most controversial, it’s the question of our ability to maintain a weight loss without the drug.

This is tough on many levels, especially affordability. But let’s be honest in our definition of maintenance. Is it 6 months past goal or 6 years before we can claim that success?

The link below is an interesting post from Dr Michelle Gordon, a certified obesity medicine doc who talks about the actual biology that affects this more than just the lifestyle changes most of us are also making. Does it matter how much overweight I was and for how long? (Spoiler alert: she says yes.)

If you can’t play this summary FB reel (sorry if not allowed) then just search her name on YouTube where you’ll find even more.
