That sucks. If GLP-1s work for you, more power to you.

Curious: how big of a calorie deficit did you run, and what was your macro (protein/fat/carbs) balance.

My personal experience is going low on carbs (especially added sugars) and high on fiber and protein made running a deficit suck much less in terms of feeling satisfied.

Also, a 10% deficit was okay (I was hungry but could mostly ignore it). A 25% deficit was very annoying and about as much as I'd care to do.
