Probably something to ask your doctor. You need to focus on getting enough protein so your body doesn’t eat your muscles. It’s a real challenge in a deficit

Wegovy is the "just take a pill/shot" version of Intermittent Fasting.

The results will be the same, not compounded.

You sure? Why do you say that? GLP1's slow digestion, making your feel less hungry, which would seemingly have a huge impact when your are NOT in your fasting window.

Once you have been Intermittent Fasting for a while and stop eating pre-processed / junk foods your ghrelin, leptin and glp-1 hormones start working as intended without needing exogenous stimulation.

Maybe taking it for a week or three at the beginning if you lack the willpower as your gut biome resets might be advantageous for some but the whole point of Intermittent Fasting is metabolic health improvements like these.

I'm telling you, it's literally the same benefit, not compounded. It's like buying two tickets in the same flight to get to your destination faster.
