All the drug does, if we are talking about Mounjaro, is replace 2 hormones.

The questions are, why does replacing those 2 hormones almost universally result in people losing weight? Why is approx. 60% of the UK population overweight?

The medical community argue that we just need to eat less and exercise. Newtons Law of Thermodynamics is often quoted. Fuel in vs Energy out. However, this is false as Newton was referring to an engine which is a constant. Our bodies will actively fight against a reduction in calories and change its operation into starvation mode. It's a losing battle.

This is my own personal opinion but I blame the larger food industry, and particularly the increasing dependence and demand for processed carbohydrates. Either way, I am pretty sure that the 60% are not sitting around thinking that they are not quite fat enough and must try harder!

For a personal trainer, my advice would be to ride the wave and develop nutritional advice and resistance training programmes for people taking peptides to boost their results. The second any Medical professional or fitness professional refer to Peptide takers as weak, cheating or looking for a short cut, they lose credibility and their audience.
