A recent study showed that if people get on the scale every day and eat based on what they weigh, they don’t gain weight, Or gain very little. I followed this practice for many years, and I’ve been on ADT for eight years. I’ve never gained more than a couple of pounds from ADT and my A1c was 5.4 the last Couple of times I had it done two months ago.. They found that people that don’t get on the scale more than once a week tend to gain weight.

Yes, ADT can cause you to gain weight and as a result raise your A1c, but eating carefully and watching how much you eat can make a major difference. I’ve been keeping track of the Carbohydrate ratings on foods And eating a big salad every other day for lunch, That helped enable me to keep my A1c down. Of course, I watch out what I eat it breakfast and dinner as well. I had brown rice instead of white rice. I eat whole wheat pasta instead of white pasta.. There are many things you could do besides GLP-1.

I’m 6’ 4” and weigh 190. The most I’ve ever weighed is 196. That was due to eating too much during the holidays. I cut back a little for four months and lost that.

So starting out on ADT, watch your weight every day. Base what you eat and what you weigh.
