Weightlifter's Delayed Response to GLP-1 Medication Sparks Discussion
Weightlifters and GLP-1 Medications: A Case Study of Slow Response A recent video posted online by a weightlifter, lyss k 🌻, details their experience with GLP-1/GIP-1 medications. The author, who is 178 lbs and actively builds muscle, reported a significantly delayed response to the medication, only noticing appetite suppression after three weeks of use. This contrasts with typical expectations of quicker results. They question whether their high muscle mass contributed to this delayed effect. "It took almost three weeks for me to build up that intolerance to food," lyss k 🌻 shared in their video. This extended timeframe raised concerns for the author, who wondered if this is a common experience amongst weightlifters. The video has garnered 739 views and 15 likes, indicating some interest in the topic. While the sample size is small, the author's experience highlights the variability in individual responses to medication. Further research is needed to determine if muscle mass significantly impacts the timeline for GLP-1/GIP-1 medication effectiveness. The author's story offers a valuable personal perspective on this ongoing discussion.
