If you are on it and work out and force yourself to eat plenty of protein you’d probably blunt that effect

So you’re saying your wife seems to like you skinnier? That should be decent enough motivation to eat less.

Or better yet, after dinner. Eat dinner and be done for the day.

Regarding your last line. I know correlation doesn't imply causation, but in this case...

Try an ancestral diet and running.

Maybe start with intermittent fasting. Do something like an 18/6 schedule- wait until noon to eat, dinner at 6, and fast

OMAD (One Meal A Day) has done wonders for me over the past 6-7 years.

Eliminate snacks. If you drink carbonated drinks, stop.

You do know what causes pregnancy, right? Sounds like that is your issue. Cut

Macro Factor has worked very well for me. I got serious about it last October, and I'm down 25lbs since then.

Build a home gym and find a way to involve your kids in the workouts.

Try the glp-1s. I think they are amazing drugs. If you don't like them then quit, but if you can afford them I don't

I dont think I’d go to glp-1 to lose 10. Save those for people who need to lose 30+. I’d worry most of the 10lbs lost

Why would a GLP-1 lead to more muscle mass loss than any other weight loss?

That's what my doctor told me. People aren't hungry on the drugs so they don't eat enough protein. They also aren't

When I was on it my dr repeatedly warned me about my protein consumption and about my exercise plan. I think glp-1s are

I'd only add that once you lose a little weight you need to recalculate
