I respect anders_CPH perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: HIIT vs LISS cardio on GLP-1 — the effect size varies considerably by population.

I am not saying anders_CPH wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.

Relevant to HIIT vs LISS cardio on GLP-1 — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 219 → 119 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Thank you julia.endo! This is incredibly helpful. Bookmarking for later. 🙏

Slightly tangential to HIIT vs LISS cardio on but SkepticalSean reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
