The interesting part about this is this is a challenge for all clients that were pursuing fat loss, even if you weren't taking one of these drugs. The only thing that this has really changed, at least for me, from my perspective as a trainer who's helped a bunch of people try and lose weight, is it just guarantees they're not going to eat a lot.
One of the challenges when you were helping a client lose with weight loss was getting them to adhere to the diet consistently, consistently enough that they were in a caloric deficit day in and day out so that their body would then basically metabolize fat and lose body fat, right? Well, that's the goal. Right, that would be the goal.
