No fatties allowed...how does the Navy reduce the displacement tonnage of its sailors?

My wife has had a huge success with GLP-1s, coupled with the adoption of a regular fitness schedule. She has the metabolism of a tree sloth, so fitness alone wasn't going to do it.

Weight loss is difficult for women in a general sense.

The caloric requirements for most women are way lower than people realize, around 1400-1600 calories a day to sustain with a moderate exercise program. So after a decade of slow-bleed weight gain, it becomes very difficult with current American portion sizes and general food culture for women to drop lbs. They can end up eating their daily allowance of calories in a single meal. The lack of testosterone to fuel muscle growth and athletic performance also means exercise is less efficient than it is for men. Meaning, most men can quite easily drop 500-1000 calories under their daily allowance through diet and exercise where it becomes really hard for women to stay capped at a net 1000-1200 calories a day, a mere 200-500 calorie deficit.

Fast forward 3 months and the guy has lost 15-20 lbs while the woman has lost like 5-10. This can be demoralizing.

It doesn't help that most diet and fitness exercise advice geared for women is just a copy and paste what it is for men, which means that a lot of diet advice is recommending an absurd amount of protein.

@Spekkio i recommend you check out @unf**kyourdiet on IG. She would have a field day with all your generalizations in this quote. And then she would bench press you.
