It seemed to signal a dramatic pivot from old-school American weight loss plans full of calorie-counting and color-coding ushering in the new Age of GLP-1s
Thank you so much for joining us at Medscape from ADA 2024.
Compounded Semaglutide contains the same active ingredient as brand-name medications, but it is made by licensed compounding pharmacies instead of mass-produced by large pharmaceutical companies
Starting assumptions for a hypothetical 220 lb (100 kg) patient: Baseline BMR: approximately 2,000 calories/day Total daily expenditure (TDEE): approximately 2,400 calories/day (sedentary) Retatrutide effects on the energy equation: Caloric intake reduction: 25-35% (based on food intake data) = 600-840 fewer calories consumed Estimated thermogenic increase: 5-10% of BMR = 100-200 additional calories burned Combined daily deficit: 700-1,040 calories At 48 weeks, this deficit accounts for approximately 54-80 pounds of weight loss, aligning with observed clinical results
