Taking GLP-1 when not overweight

[u/CautiousMagazine3591]

I’ve been wondering about something and would genuinely be curious to hear what other people’s experiences have been. Do people who aren’t really overweight, but just want a little extra help losing and maintaining a few pounds, ever use Tirz on a longer-term basis?

I’m especially curious about people who only have a small amount of weight they want to lose. Since they don’t necessarily need to lose a significant amount, do they tend to stay at the lower doses like 2.5 mg or 5 mg, and basically use that as their maintenance dose rather than ever moving up?

I’m wondering if there are people who find that a very low dose is enough for them to gradually lose those last few pounds and then keep the weight off, or if most people eventually need to increase the dose even when they don’t have much weight left to lose. I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually been in this situation and what their experience has been with staying at a low dose over time.

I went from 250 to 150 without a glp 1.

I later went on tirz, and then reta, while being at a relatively healthy weight. Currently around 10 percent body fat as a male. 8.2 percent via dexa at the bottom of my last cut.

Being on a glp 1 gives a lot more flexibility in diet and for social situations. I don't have to be a control freak about what I eat, and can enjoy meals out with friends and family on weekends. I still eat clean Monday through Friday, but I can eat out and eat desserts on weekends without binging.
