Should I Use Semaglutide for My Cut?

[rc201]

I’m currently 5’10”, around 185 lbs, and between 20%-24% body fat. I have a solid frame and decent muscle mass, but excess fat is really holding me back—especially with stubborn issues like man boobs, love handles, and a puffy face. My goal is to cut down to about 12% body fat to maximize my aesthetics and showcase the definition I know I have underneath. I’ve heard a lot about Mounjaro, semaglutide, and similar medications and am considering using them to accelerate my fat loss.

Would you recommend semaglutide or another GLP-1 for a cut in my situation? Has anyone here had success maintaining muscle and strength while using it? Also, since I don’t have diabetes, what’s the best and safest way to obtain it? I’m focused on maximizing aesthetics, so any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried ECA stack?

 

[iblamemandible7]

GLP1 is overkill in my opinion btw unless you really cant do a calorie deficit youre risking sides for something you can achieve just with willpower instead

Have you tried ECA stack?

Haven’t tried it, but I know it works. Just risky with the heart strain and jitters, especially since ephedrine is banned in most places. Have you?

No I just spam caffeine and it works well I used to eat at least 3k calories a day and Ive been doing like 1k daily for a couple weeks now but apparently eca is even better

Nicotine also works well I would try these over the counter things first I know people who took semaglutides and got gastroperesis its hell apparently

So you are 20-24& body fat, let's assume you are 22.5% @ 185lb.

22.5% of your current body weight is 41lb of fat.

In order for you to reach 12% body fat, you have to lose 21lb of pure fat and your weight would be around 164lb.

You aren't going lose 21lb of pure fat, you are going to lose some muscle and probably water weight. You are going to reach your 12% body fat goal at around 156lb ish... which is pretty small.

If I were you I'd eat clean at maintenance for a while before you cut.

No there is much better and healthier alternatives to ozempic

The absolute hilariousness of mentioning ECA stack, and mentioning "risking sides" with a GLP-1 agonist.

Alright pharma bro, I'm waiting in excitement for the alternatives.

Dont act like yk better. Retatrutide is better

Any GLP-1 agonist will work. They're all very benign when it comes to side effects.

ECA stack works great for about 6 weeks to 2 months but your body will adjust to it eventually and it will lose its strong effect.

Ozempic face hollowness under eyes etc. Not sure if being in 20s would protect from this or not. I have seen a few people here where I live in their 30s and 40s get Ozempic face when using it.

Okay Realist would be very grateful if u showed me ur glp-1 bottles that u used

It's called losing weight, for some, too much weight.

The thing I have noticed it seems to cause that effect more than if the person lost the weight naturally. I think they say Ozempic promotes some muscle and bone loss also besides the fat loss more than normal dieting does.

Haha who am i? Who are YOU bro to tell people what to take u can fucking kill a person with ur shitty advices no one is going to listen to u if u dont have experience and proof urself

That’s because they lose too much weight on GLP1 and don’t eat properly on it. People who are dropping weight naturally aren’t getting as low bf as they are and eat higher protein and a better diet than just eating less.

they say Ozempic promotes some muscle and bone loss also besides the fat loss more than normal dieting does.

It’s got nothing to do with the drug itself causing that face, it’s just too effective at nuking apatite. As well as most people under eat in protein as well on it since protein is highly satiating.

And bone loss doesn’t affect aesthetics since it is loss of bone mineral density if anything.

And those pics you put have fillers in their face (at least the girl), obviously they look shit at low bf.

OP literally 0 reason not to use it when cutting. Will make life a lot easier.

Ozempic and Muscle Loss — Do You Need to Worry?

Doctors are sounding a warning that semaglutide (Ozempic) causes excessive muscle loss. Here's what you need to know.

Have you tried cutting first ???

Calm down, no one dies on any GLP-1 agonist. These are FDA approved drugs with extensive testing. Meanwhile you have people promoting cardiotoxic outdated alternatives such as ephedrine and clen.

I don't have to prove myself to dumb teens like yourself. I quite simply don't care if you wanna take my advice or not. I know my stuff, you don't.

Wtf. I didnt say a word about clen or ephedra. Whatever u dont have to tell people ur stuff then.

No you didn't, but the first comment is someone mentioning ECA as an alTernAtiVe over GLP-1's, which is insanity in this day and age.
*any* GLP-1 is fine, some target more receptors than others, but ultimately *any* that suppresses your appetite is completely fine.

If these people don’t work out in the gym and eat enough protein what do they expect? To not lose muscle?

Not sure but I guess anecdotally people are saying people seem to age more appearance wise taking that than losing weight just by normal dieting. Not sure if that mostly just affects the 30+ year old users though.

Yes it would but that’s not because of the GLP1. It has no mechanism to do that. Since it nukes apatite people just eat less, doesn’t mean they eat more healthy. Look at videos of regular people on GLP1, they eat goyslop just in smaller portions to achieve a calorie deficit. They don’t work out and don’t get nearly enough protein. This will cause muscle loss, and ageing since not enough protein. If I ate the same as what they did in a day, I would get the same effects of muscle loss etc. People who diet normally to lose fat usually have a high protein intake and train since it’s not the “easy way out” but if you combine proper eating and training with GLP1 you will get best of both worlds.

But that wouldn't explain the more aging look as normal dieters usually don't do much exercise or take high protein either. I think there may be some connection to aging skin with it stimulating insulin or something like that.

It does make you a lot more sensitised to insulin, yes. However I don’t think you should even use it long term for it to be a problem. Just use for a month or 2 so shed body fat quickly and then maintain that body fat with normal diet and exercise. It just in general makes dieting a lot easier and effortless.

This is my fat ass, I might just try to stick with discipline and lean out like that
