Nowt more to it. A combination of slowing down digestion so food stays longer and send signals to the brain that you are full, suppressing appetite. Basically you don't want to pouch.

Can’t be great if you’re trying to exercise though? Need the energy from somewhere

Will leave that to the jabbers to explain. Perhaps they don't bother with exercise. Id think it can't be good for you longer term constantly jabbing away.

People exercise while in a calorie deficit. No different really.

On the other hand it can be hard to exercise when you are overweight.
They don't stop you eating just turn down the urge to keep eating more than you need so it's still perfectly possible to consume enough calories to lose weight and still be able to exercise. In fact, some exercise is recommended alongside the jabs to ensure that you don't lose muscle mass.

A lot of websites that sell peptides and steroids online have it in the pens
You don’t stop eating all together what you do actually realise is how much we f***ing overeat it’s totally unnecessary to have so much food
You don’t stop eating you just have smaller portions people in the country massively overeat you don’t realise how little food you actually need until you try them

Obvioisly you dont stop eating. You'd die.
But plenty of literature out there saying jabs send signals to the brain so you think youre full. Cuts out food noise as they put it and also slows down digestion. Others, on here, on the jabs, have said its stopped them wanting to eat shite.
Agreed about portions. But I do that without the need for any jabs tbf. With your theory then those on the jabs should be able to come off them, realising the error of their ways (portion size) and keep the weight off.
What also doesn't help is people have forgotten what the human body is supposed to look like. Endless comments on here saying if they got down to what is deemed a healthy weight they'd look ill/like they have AIDS. I mean there are a lot of people with a look now you can immediately tell they are jabbers.

That’s you tho isn’t it everyone’s different. Im just getting down to all my healthy stats within the green on my smart scales, im due a health check at doctors well im actually overdue so didnt want to go and be given all doom and gloom, then ill be wrapping it. some people get addictive and take it too far. Hopefully I can sustain it and just continue the habits

As you said, you now realise what portion size should be so I reckon you should be okay once off them. You'll be reet.
Does it stop you clamming for a pint by Friday teatime?

I’ve always realised, I just like food it becomes a social thing esp in a relationship.
Aye I struggle with two cans you juts lose the flavour for it

Sorry, just you said people don't realise how much less you actually need to eat until the jabs. So presumed once the jabs are happening the penny drops. So it's like everything else really, will power/discipline. And those with it will keep the weight off. Others will put it back on. Or go back to jabbing.
Food is class by the way. Just eat without ever feeling busting/full. You can control how much goes on the plate for meals for example. Just make a bit less. You can't eat what isn't there kind of thing.

Some people have reported that it puts them off alcohol totally but for me I still look forward to a pint and enjoy it but after 2 or 3 I'm bloated and don't want any more. That has helped me cut down on drinking which has saved me money and contributed to the weight loss.

That’s the problem I couldn’t always go back for more etc always eat until stuffed. I guess best way to describe it is it gives you the will power to be satisfied with a smaller portion and not wanna overeat I was totally sceptical at first but here I am just I’m over 2 stone off feel great look better and it’s barely been an effort curious too see if I still have the urges to stuff myself if I come off them or can juts continue my new eating patterns
I have two laboured cans and can’t even be arsed with anymore and I can drink usually

If you only make smaller amounts of food for your meals, there's nowt to go back for, as it's gone. That's the way to go.
Proof is in the science. It sends signals to the brain so you dont feel hungry_cuts out "food noise". Dont feel hungry you won't eat. People on the jabs are dropping clem easily because of said science. Lad at work has lost nearly 2 stone in 6 weeks.
Come off the jabs and you don't have that bit of science helping you, which is where discipline will be needed. Perhaps that will be easier now you've got a new pattern.

No, it's a lot more complex than it just being a willpower thing. There are often underlying metabolic reasons for someone's inability to control their eating. These GLP-1s fix that.
If you can do it by self control then jolly good for you but it's like telling someone with clinical depression just to cheer up or someone with high blood pressure to calm down.

The alternative is a switch to spirits. Can probably have 5 gin n tonics for a pint of lager calories wise. And no bloating either. Wouldn't save you money mind.
Well regardless, the jab is the thing, working away in the background, controlling your urges/wants.
If your theory is correct then most people on jabs will struggle to keep the weight off once they come off them as you're almost saying it's out of their control and they need the jabs to act as a blocker.

Yeah that’s my thinking stick to the current pattern even when off them and hopefully can sustain whether I can or not is another thing. Also one thing when you put on weight some people just give up on themselves once you see yourself with it off and actually coming off it spurs you on it doesn’t seem so impossible

I'd be interested to know if all these people who say they can't control it/have weight issues take up regular exercise/go to the gym. I reckon there'll be some correlation there too.
Did we used to have as many overwight people say 50 to 100 years ago? Presuming there's always been underlying metabolic stuff knocking about. Obviously I know the world has changed but point still stands as a general.

For some people, a period on GLP1s may be enough to reset their metabolism and to have learned new eating and lifestyle habits
Other people may need to be on them long term. There is a new generation of daily tablets coming out soon which aren't as effective as the jabs but will be much cheaper. At that stage they just become another medication people take every day for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure.
Nobody ever says the problem with hypertension meds is that your BP will go up if you stop taking them.
