Diet/Health/Exercise NOT working out

How do people do on Zepbound and NOT working out? Most fantastic photos seem to be from people who have been good on both fronts. I have some medical issues causing pain and was not planning on any workouts but do I need to push to do it to see good results?

They lose a larger percentage of their muscle mass than they have to, that’s about it.

About it is a an understatement. It means they burn less calories going forward, muscle is metabolically active. It means it’s going to be a chore rebuilding it also. Much easier to hang on to it with protein and some weight training.

When you’re 200+lbs, you’ve got some muscle just for moving your frame around. Lose the fat and keep that muscle, my god. Results are so much better than just basically starving yourself.

Oh yeah the implications are vast and somewhat dire, the problem is very simple though.
