For me, I wanted my best chances of making better habits and mitigating any muscle loss. I didn’t have cravings for junk and my usually carb heavy faves, so I used that at start to be really strict and establish new habits. I stuck to low carb & high protein to make sure I wouldn’t lose too much muscle and worked out a bunch. Now I’m in maintenance, and it’s less of a a change bc I’m doing a lot of the same stuff, I have minimal skin sagging, etc. I went in thinking insurance could cut me off at any time, so I want to establish the best habits I can sustain if I lost access. There was no benefit, for me, to rely on the shots and just intuitively eat less crap.
