Mark Kovacs said performance can vary by morning or evening preference, yet consistency and safety matter most. When tired, he advised starting with 5 to 10 minutes of light movement.

Combination therapy emerges as option when weight-loss injections fall short
GLP-1 drugs have surged in use for obesity and weight loss, but research suggests up to 20 percent of patients may not see enough benefit. A review paper cited by Medical News Today said combining a naltrexone-bupropion product, Contrave, with GLP-1 therapy could be an alternative. Researchers said the drugs target different pathways, including satiety and food cravings, and clinicians said there is no single treatment that works for everyone.

Participants who repeated more than half of weekly foods lost more weight on average. Those eating more on weekends also tended to lose more.
