I'm on a Lupron /Ereleada protocol and I'm happy to report that there seem to be few side effects..,with one exception. I look in the mirror and see that my upper torso is growing rolls of blubber that have me looking like the Michelin Tire mascot. I'm wondering about trying Ozempic but don't know if that is a good idea with the meds I'm taking. I'll ask my doc when I see her in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, anyone have any thoughts on this subject?

Yup, ADT will do that, unfortunately. The only answer is the old tried and true: diet and exercise.
Cut calories where you can and get your ass moving. You have to work out regularly with weights and get going aerobically.
If you are not an exercise person, please become one or that Michelin blubber will become permanent. Best,
Phil

Data show that exercise works - resistance-training exercise and cardio. (Hormone therapy affects metabolism so, you have to do things that offset that effect.)
I lost 40 lbs (& 3 belt sizes) while I was on ADT due to a rigorous weightlifting and cardio program. The only cost I incurred was that I had to buy a lot of new clothes. I also made some dietary changes, but it was actually to become more heart-healthy.
