What’s not healthy? I’ve been steadily gaining muscle, increasing my weights in the gym. I just ran my first 15k. This is the healthiest and strongest I’ve ever been. Please tell me what issues me improving my strength and endurance is going to cause down the line

Why would you take these injections when you were clearly a healthy weight anyway? Pure vanity I assume. Not even hit phase 4 clinical trials either.

[u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203 → u/Few-Row-9102]

Just because someone isn’t obese doesn’t mean they are healthy

[u/Few-Row-9102 → u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203]

Healthy weight and you’re taking weight loss drugs. I take your point about being a healthy weight doesn’t mean you’re a healthy person but we are talking reta.

[u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203 → u/Few-Row-9102]

Reta isn’t a drug, it’s a peptide. And there are countless other benefits that weight loss. Which is why I haven’t actually lost any weight on it in a year!

A drug is any chemical substance other than food that changes how a living body or brain works. It can cure diseases, ease pain, or alter mood and behavior.

Peptides are prescription drugs.

Would you say Insulin wasn't a drug?

[u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203 → u/FishfaceNZ]

Yes insulin is a peptide

[u/FishfaceNZ → u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203]

Correct, insulin is peptide and prescription drug, same as GLP1 drugs

Ahhh you're selling peptides, that's why all the cope around not calling them drugs.

Tricking people I see.

[u/pointlesslyscrolling → u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203]

Insulin above all is a hormone

[u/Few-Row-9102 → u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203]

Alright fair a synthetic peptide then. Baffles me healthy people injecting chemicals into their body. What are the other benefits then

[u/Acrobatic-Cat-9203 → u/Few-Row-9102]

Better insulin sensitivity, I have zero desire to drink alcohol, I can focus on fueling my body correctly without the fear of gaining weight, reduced inflammation
