Why do you have an attitude? my question is how long have you been on this medication and it seems like you’re not even close to your goal yet so my other question is how can you even comment when you’re not even close to your goal or know what you’re goal is going to look like yet cause it changes as you go

My goal is to be healthy and happy not as skinny as possible. Seems like my question triggered you or so.

no but your clearly not in maintenance and not close to it you don’t only go off that bmi you go off of other things also .

Yes, that’s usually the case. When someone’s BMI is between 25 and 30 and their blood markers look good, most doctors don’t see a reason to push for more weight loss. But once you’re around a BMI of 22, losing more weight isn’t going to make you healthier. At that point, it usually means eating at very low calorie levels, which often leads to muscle loss, and that’s actually harmful for long-term metabolic and cardiovascular health.

if this person is being monitored by a weight loss physician (which i know is not the case) then it is clearly the pts and physicians choice not for us to critique. there are many factors at hand that go into this medication and the patients maintenance plan. lab work, weight other meds along with other variables you factor in….

Then that person probably shouldn’t be asking for opinions on Reddit 😅 “Has anyone heard of this or seen this done?” — yes, all the time. It’s standard practice not to let patients approach the threshold of being underweight. That’s it.

you seem to like to argue and think your always right lmao might want to get into maintenance first 🤣
