White could be the new beige when it comes to fat cells, following the discovery of a switch that maintains the functions of adipose tissue in mice, transforming it from a lipid-locker into a calorie-burner.
‘may’ is my most despised headline word. This article sounds like they may be onto something in mice trials anyway.
It certainly does mess with reward pathways, seems to counteract my antidepressant and Adderall.
And yeah, I’m aware of the regain weight fun. My insurance currently has a lifetime cap of the benefit. So that will be interesting to see how that plays out. My hope is that the habits I’m forming stick, but I have doubts about that.
Does the thickening of the intestinal wall contribute to the weird bowl changes? Seems like it either moves extremely fast or takes a week, no in between
As for the thickening of the bowel, I have no idea, but it seems like the bowel movement speed and that are both side effects
And as for making it stick - here’s my take. Animals don’t become obese… Except when you feed them highly processed food. There’s also a theory floating around that seed oils drive sugar cravings, and the fat they release does the same thing
So my advice would be this - use this opportunity to fix this. If you burn the old fat, get rid of your sugar cravings, and eat better food you might be able to fix your system in a way people mostly only do by moving to somewhere with better food culture for years
Avoid processed food and seed oils as much as possible. Take advantage of the time you have on it, and stack the deck in your favor while you can

Processed food is simple enough to identify just because there is so much of it. I’m not familiar with seed oils so I’ll look that up.
But yeah. The sugar cravings are the hardest part of everything. The Wegovy thankfully limits how much I can consume, but it’s still there.
