I was a type 2 diabetic and hba1c was 48 and now 32. Although I’m not seeing the weight loss the metabolic side has been good . Am I one of the slow responders . I track , priories protein and fluids . Owing to work commitments my exercise is walking . 😬

It was interesting to interview New Zealand GP Dr Marcus Hawkins recently about his journey from traditional medical practice to advocating low-carb, ketogenic nutrition. He discusses the impact of diet on metabolic health, the failure of conventional guidelines, and innovative approaches to reversing conditions like diabetes and fatty liver, emphasizing the importance of historical and cultural dietary patterns. And of course GLP-1s came up ! https://youtu.be/oe9uksieceM?is=u2SKQ1k1GonZzsIp

Mounjaro and Ozempic are powerful tools for weight loss. But they are not a full plan. They reduce hunger. They quieten food noise. They help many people eat less. But when you stop, appetite comes back roaring back, food noise returns with interest and the old habits creep back in. That’s why most people regain the weight after stopping GLP-1 injections. But its not a failure of willpower. Its down to biology, pure and simple If you want the bigger picture, read our guide to Coming Off GLP-1s – What Happens Next? Why weight comes back after stopping Mounjaro or Ozempic GLP-1 drugs work well while they are in your body but when you stop the drug, your hunger signals return and your body tries to return to its previous weight. If you lost weight too quickly (so-called starvation mode) you may also have lost muscle. That matters because muscle helps you stay strong, active and metabolically healthy. Muscle burns much more calories than fat stores. So the 64,000$ question is not “How do I lose weight?” it is “How do I keep the weight off when the injection stops?” That is why you need a proper Mounjaro exit strategy, not just a final pen. The biggest mistake: stopping without an exit plan Millions of Brits are using, or thinking about using, Mounjaro, Ozempic or Wegovy. Many have a starting plan but almost no one has a stopping plan. That is a problem because if the injection has done all the work, stopping it feels like taking away the brake. Hunger returns. Snacks return. Portions grow. Weight creeps back. The solution is to build the habits before you stop (actually better still – make some changes before you even start!) For the bigger method, read The Science Behind Lasting Weight Loss. 7 simple steps to prevent weight regain 1. Do not crash diet Eating as little as possible may speed weight loss, but it can leave you tired, hungry and malnourished. You need protein, nutrients and real food.
