I've been predicting this would happen. I suspect they'll get banned in certain sports where weight matters, biking, rowing, etc.
Even more so when glucagon agonists come around(that requires more than 300 letters to explain)

Talk about covering yourself in gasoline then thinking you can be next to an open flame without consequences. Absolutely finding out phase.
Oh so glad you're doing ok. The radio silence had me worried! Feel better!

(Also I appreciate that commercial not being a bunch of white people! Minorities in the USA have high rates of obesity too!)
Needed to follow that up with a Wegovy pill commercial

08.02.2026 23:07 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Think it'll be more important for Reta than tirzepatide since the lipid reductions, BP and kidney GFR improvements look to be dose dependent for that drug in particular
08.02.2026 21:53 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yup. Tho some ongoing research with tirzepatide(topline later this year) on maintenance dose. Either max tolerated dose or reduced to 5mg after maximum weight loss.
Same trial design also running for retatrutide but that won't finish until 2028 so we'll get some answers from an RCT on it
