>Please, no. GLP1s leave you worse off than when you started if you stop taking them.

This doesn't seem factual, or at the very least, not that simple?

Not the OP, but there was a lot of talk that glp1 had a negative effect on bone density and in older people it was especially problematic.

There is evidence that is not the case though https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8878541/

Something I'd picked up somewhere a decade or two ago was losing weight too fast can cause problems with bone and muscle density. So it could be related but not a direct effect.

I think they were referring to rebound weight though, something else I'd heard about these drugs that also doesn't affect everyone. A scarier one was one person whose weight got too low so they stopped taking it, but for some reason had a lot of trouble gaining any weight and getting up to a healthy level.
