You know what, I've lost weight both ways. When I was younger, I lost 50 pounds over one summer. I cut out basically all carbs, breakfast, and only ate normal amounts of meat and veggies. Worked a physically demanding job. I lost the weight, even as my bodied screamed at me, every survival instinct insisted I was starving to death. Now that I'm older, I work a job that actually pays, but doesn't keep me physically active. I can't tolerate starving myself like I used to. GLP-1 agonists quiet down a gnawing drive to eat at the back of my mind. Leave me feeling full much quicker when I do eat. Without that hunger driving me, I stop to ask myself if I even want to eat that next bite. Losing weight is far easier, and doesn't feel like I'm fighting my own survival instincts. I'm not mad that other people don't have to put the same suffering in to lose weight, I'm just happy it can be so much easier for them and me.
