Dropping alot of weight rapidly can lead to gallbladder issues. If you're on a GLP-1 please look into this and ask your GP about potentially putting you on Urusodiol.

I saw a thread on reddit where a GP chimed in and mentioned that he was giving urusodiol to all his patients at the same time as GLPs, to help prevent the associated issues.

Either way, modern science is great. Just do your research.

It does seem like a lot of doctors prescribe GLP-1s without any corresponding education on the dietary changes one should make while on them. A friend of mine's mother was hospitalized briefly because she was basically starving herself of proper nutrition while on GLP-1s.

Since I already knew that rapid weight loss is very unhealthy, I intentionally eat very nutrient dense foods in order to keep my weight loss in a reasonable range.

Exactly why it’s on the warning labels too. But also you still need to eat which can be very hard when your body tells you no more food.

Expecting the subset of people who are obese due to inability to ignore their bodies bad signals to overeat, to have the same discipline in the opposite direction, seems foolhardy.
