Are new weight-loss drugs prompting Shumpterian 'creative destruction' that will have a significant impact on the under-lying logic of consumer-focussed capitalism?

It seems that these drugs not only suppress appetite for food, they also surpass cravings much more widely.

As our current form of capitalism is built on the continuing fulfilment of consumer demand for non-necessities will a decline in such demand lead to a shift in economic patterns & organisation?

The regulars at the gym I go to twice a week have noticed no real new year resolution driven surge of new members this year... and we wondered why?

Our best guess was the impact of weight-loss drugs; giving people a different route rather than gym training, to pushing weight loss as a news year commitment.

Not sure if that accounts for all of the absence(s) but it is very noticeable this year compared to others.

People who come off slimming jabs regain weight four times faster than dieters

A new study, published by the BMJ suggests that the effects of weight-loss drugs last less that two years after cessation of use, with patients (users) regaining weight.

For the pharmaceutical firms this is, of course, good news as it means once people are hooked in to the treatment they'll continue use, but bad news for health sector budgets as it suggests an ongoing financial commitment for many (all) patients prescribed the drugs.

I’m entering my 21st year as a fitness professional—and here’s what I offer:

🎯I promise education, transparency, and results grounded in science—not gimmicks.

📣Want sustainable #weightloss? It's consistency, not intensity

With two decades in the #fitness industry, I’ve helped clients lose 5 to 150 pounds—and keep it off. The secret? #Science, support, and zero gimmicks.

🚨Here’s the truth the #diet industry hides: Trying to “burn off” every meal is a recipe for failure. It’s called the “Earn Your Food” mindset, and it’s built around the misleading Net Calories metric.

▶️Watch the #video for the steps on how to build a plan that respects your body.

🧵1/ 🛑 Before You Spend Another Dollar on Weight Loss… Learn About the “Net Calories” Trap

The billion-dollar #weightloss industry thrives on confusion, false hope, and repeat customers.
➡️One of their most misleading tactics? The misuse of “net calories.”

In my 20yrs of experience as a fitness professional, this misunderstood metric is one of the most underreported reasons people abandon their #goals.

🔻The Problem:
Some weight loss and #fitness apps push “net calories” like gospel, feeding…

🤔One of the most underrated tools for long term #weightloss? A basic #food scale.

➡️Not for restriction. For awareness. For #education.

💪🏾I’ve lost over 90 pounds and kept it off. For over 20 years as a certified personal trainer, I’ve helped clients lose anywhere from 5 to 150 pounds and keep it off.

🎯When we understand what’s on our plate, we’re not guessing. We’re choosing. And that’s where real, lifelong change begins.

🔥 PSA: Long-Term #WeightLoss Is Achievable

✅First step: Skip the pseudoscience. Ditch the gimmicks. Ignore the grifters.

💪🏾 With 20+ years as a certified personal trainer, I’ve helped real people lose 5 to 120+ pounds—and more importantly, keep it off.

▶️In this video, I break down:
• #FatLoss vs. #Muscle Gain (and why the scale lies)
• Cardio & Overtraining (what most people get wrong)
• Why Consistency > Intensity for real, lasting change

📣Fun Fitness Fact:
Where does the fat actually go?💨

➡️ It’s one of the most common questions I get from long-term clients—and the answer surprises most people.

🎥 Check out this video to learn what really happens when you lose fat.
