    • I listened to two medics discussing Ozempic and there are some very good uses for it in inflammatory autoimmune illness but in very small doses. However using it for the obese or non-obese for vanity reason is probably very dangerous. Thyroid changes never mind cancer are appalling but then many people wouldn’t realise that.

    • My husband actually asked for it because he is overweight and borderline diabetic with high blood pressure. His doctor said it wasn’t safe to prescribe because it raises your blood pressure and has horrible side effects. My husband lost 30 lbs but gained back 40. He has had five back surgeries, surgery on both his knees and his neck. He has awful chronic pain and it hinders his exercise. He’s still trying to his best, walking everyday. 🙁

  • I'm in England, T2 diabetic treated with insulin with under-active thyroid and was prescribed Ozempic just before this exploded in America. I was prescribed it against my will, I am not and have not had a problem with over eating. I am obese because of the insulin. I reluctantly took it for a few months, then made the decision to stop taking it and am SO glad that I did. Since then I have gone carnivore and have completely reversed my diabetes and am off all diabetes medication.

  • My wife died suddenly three weeks ago, she’s been taken the drug since November, but she developed severe abdominal pain for three weeks since March, right following a couple of days after injecting, and the pain went away after taking pain killers. The pain was most severe on March 25, spent two days in ER, did all the tests and she was discharged. She died Wednesday night from massive internal bleeding . I was told after the funeral service that just recently the drug manufacturer posted a warning on the internet that the fatality rate of people taking this drug is 2 in 100. If you taking this drug be careful or you will join me to say goodbye to your love one.

  • I'm a medical power of attorney over my farther. I hated giving him insulin shots 4 times a day. 200+ units a day. Two shots of 80units of long lasting then a shot of fast acting b4 meals. So I changed his breakfast meal and within 3 months he had stable blood sugar after 20years for taking insulin. What I used to stabilize him was green Banna, Blueberrys, dark cherries, low sodium Greek yogurt, homemade oat flower, Grape juice, and milk all blended into a smoothie. On top of that specific meal he only uses dark brown sugar when he uses sugar and his snacks are crakers. His diabetes was so bad his foot rotted off. I've managed to slow down his memory loss and neuropathy via wild edibles made into teas and hot drinks(not boiled to keep the voc intact) along with much more. His doctors seem surprised and mildly upset that I've stabilized him within months while they have been keeping him ill for decades. Big pharma has ruined our medical care professionals.

    • Doctors get massive kickbacks and vacations, cars etc etc to push these drugs on us. My dr yrs ago put me on Lyrica, after it came out. Said it would help with my RA and Fibro pain.. 2 months in I gained over 45 lbs, I was like doc! Wth is going on? I haven’t changed my diet, I’m exercising like usual, could it be the new drug, “oh nooo, that has no history of weight gain” he says.. 4 months in and I’ve gained 75 lbs, I’m quickly approaching 300lbs at this point, I was at 174 starting. I go back and once again ask him wtf is going on? I’m scared to death, so he runs blood etc and tells me I’m all clear, nothing is wrong.. 6 months, I’ve hit 315 lbs, I say fk it and quit ALL my meds except my hQC and Methotrexate for RA, weight gain stops! It was the lyrica, look it up.. thousands of ppl like me! I’m still fighting to lose it.

In truth, my son lost 30% of his body weight in under a year by eliminating processed foods, significant reduction in carbohydrates of all types. Increasing fat & protein and eliminating seed oils. Job done! His mental clarity has improved, B/P significantly lower and overall much healthier, happier and also wealthier.

If you fully commit to giving up processed foods, sugar, and the vast amount of carbs people typically consume, you WILL lose weight, period. People think they can "go on a diet" for a week, a month, or even a year, and then go back to eating total crap, (and too much of it!) and then say, "diets don't work for me."

  • I’m diabetic and I actually am in the process of losing weight. So far I lost 50 pounds completely without any of these drugs. The side effects terrified me and so I just keep trying to work at it on my own. It hasn’t been easy but I’m gonna keep trying. What helps is my job is extremely physical. I started losing without trying. Now, I watch what I eat and it’s still fall off. I’m in my 50s and unfortunately for me I work with a lot of people that pass the buck so it gives me a lot of extra work to do. Sometimes too much. Right now I’m out sick and I know they’re hating it but it is what it is. Years ago, I actually lost 50 pounds in three months by watching carbohydrates. I mainly ate meat and veggies and when I wanted fruit, it was strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. It also fell off with that so I decided that if I leave my job, I’m gonna switch back to that. I’m not knocking people who need Ozempic because I know everybody’s not the same. I just know it’s not right for me.

I'm lucky my primary physician never pushes anything on me, I also have Hashimoto because I threw my system into the spin cycle when I tried Keto, so after that I'm even more careful.

  • I only have two experiences with it. My neighbor who had serious weight issues his who life,. He was very unhealthy. He went on ozempic for weight loss, and over two years he lost around 100 lbs. he stopped taking it and was able to keep the weight off because it kick started him feeling healthier. He felt better. Movement was easier, and he became very active. Is active lifestyle boosted his confidence and he started eating much better because the results were so obvious. He’s the healthiest he’s ever been, and he believes had he not done it he would probably never had. My coworker is the other, and she too has been heavy her whole life. She has lost 80 lbs. she’s happy with it, and shocked as she has never been thin. She however has diabetes, so it also has a medical need, but her improved weight has definitely affected her energy levels and inspired a more active lifestyle as well. I don’t believe it’s for everyone. I think it’s for lost causes. People who gave up after so many failed attempts at weight loss. Both of them are healthier feeling than before, so I don’t discredit it.

  • I was on Mounjaro for seven months and lost 30 pounds. As I went up in dose, I made it to 7.5. At that amount, my desire to eat was very very small. Going in higher in dose was a scary thought. I am diabetic. In 2024 none of the healthcare marketplace companies covered this drug so they switched me to Ozempic. I have never had more hunger in my entire life it doesn’t quell the food noise, but it does make you feel sick as a dog if you eat the wrong thing at the wrong amount at the wrong time. And honey, you don’t know what that is yet until you do it. I haven’t really lost weight and my blood glucose is in an excellent range. And I’m just for the next side effect to drop . I am at the .5. Only good news is it is $300 cheaper per month for now. But is it worth it? I also have PCOS. My theory is is my hormones have been off for my entire life and the gut hormones especially. I’ve been overweight pretty much my entire life. I wish they’d make these correlations earlier. I hope somebody’s making the correlations now.

Severe sudden weight loss will affect the heart, too. Be safe out there, folks. The idea of a "mirale pill" to solve your ills will undoubtedly have unknown or unpredictable side effects. There is no quick fix with weight loss (I prefer the term "weight management"). Exercise, plenty of water and sleep, with a healthy diet is the only safe, reliable weight management option.

Having several restrictions keeps me from being able to exercise to lose weight. I have an elevated hemidiaphram on the left side which keeps me from breathing properly. I have a hard time breathing when I walk, laugh, bend over, climb stairs, etc. I also have been dealing with symptoms of fibromyalgia for the past nine years which causes constant pain head to foot. I have inflammation in every joint and other areas of my body. Staying still was never my norm until the diaphragm issue. I still work full time.

He was able to get off all of his meds and maintain normal blood sugar and insulin levels. I wish I had known about the keto and carnivore diets back then, because I think we would have had even better results more quickly... But the point is that Type 2 diabetes CAN be reversed through diet. If your body isn't processing sugar & other carbohydrates well, then don't put them in your body!

  • How to avoid losing muscle mass when losing body fat (which is totally possible with diligence): 1. Set a reasonable caloric deficit (losing anything over ~1% total bodyweight per week is a calculated risk where muscle retention is concerned). 2. Keep protein high (~1g per lb of bodyweight, maybe even a little higher the deeper into a cut you go). 3. Keep carbs as high as possible within the constraints of your deficit. 4. Keep fats to no less than ~0.3g per lb of bodyweight - this will act as an insurance policy against hormone disregulation. 5. Lift weights as hard and as often as you possibly can. Deload at maintenance calories when fatigue gets too high. Edit: 6. Don't take a GLP agonist in order to lose body fat...

  • It’s so sad that this drug has become a fashion trend rather than a serious drug with serious risks and complications. That said, it literally saved my life. I weighed over 300lbs by the 7th grade and by 30 years old I hit my all-time high of 525lbs. As an educated person I berated myself for years trying to comprehend why I couldn’t just do all the basic things the literature says is the key to maintaining a healthy weight. Regardless, I knew death was at my door and my family would have to bury me before my 40th birthday if I didn’t do something drastic. I lost the first 100lbs “naturally” and when I say it took every ounce of physical and mental energy I had I’m not exaggerating. It was an obsession and if I didn’t focus 110% of my energy into weight loss I’d regain what took weeks to lose in a matter of days. I’ve had a total of 3 bariatric surgeries in my lifetime trying to “fix” me…Yet I still fought it every single day and made it to 250lbs before gaining back 100lbs after the birth of my son. (As a mom, I no longer had the ability to devote all my waking hours to losing weight.) I kept trying and found a specialist at a local weight loss clinic. We tried several options over the course of several months before landing on Mounjaro. I uncontrollably sobbed in her office the next month, explaining that I never knew how loud and intrusive my thoughts were about food until this medication started to turn the volume down. I’ve been utterly skeptical of the idea that obesity is a disease…I just blamed myself (along with the rest of popular culture) for not wanting it enough or because I was lazier than most. It’s so painfully clear to me now that this is what they mean when they say obesity is a disease. I don’t understand the exact science of why or how, but this medication has fixed something in me that has been broken since childhood. I’m currently at 180lbs and still slowly losing over a year after starting this journey. It is not a cure all and you still have to put in the work…BUT it has allowed me to be in the drivers seat. I’m able to choose food that fuels me rather than binging on junk out of pure compulsion. I can finally DO the right things rather than just read about them. I believe, without a single doubt, that there are serious risks to taking these types of medications, but the alternative for me was a guaranteed early grave. I just wish more people discussed experiences like mine when discussing GLP-1s rather than demonize it or hype it up as a “get-skinny-quick” fad.

By that I mean that at some point, the addicted person made a conscious choice to engage in unsafe or unhealthy behavior. An alcoholic chose to pick up the drink, the drug addict chose to try the drug…But what about food? We have to eat. So why is it that there are some that can naturally self-regulate and others that can’t? I’m not talking about how many people gain weight after a significant life change…Think menopause/puberty or even after a significant loss or trauma. Those factors are either universal human experiences or based on external factors that aren’t biologically based. For me, my obesity began at the age of 4 or 5 with clear warnings signs even prior to that. My parents struggled to understand why my siblings were able to self-regulate their eating normally while I could not. There was no “off” switch when it came to food.

  • It was offered to me. I experienced significant trauma the past two years plus I was also a mental health therapist helping others with their trauma. I know the 40 lbs is a stress reaction response. Now that I have a solid treatment plan for my mental and physical health and am leaving the toxic work environment, I feel very confident the weight will ease off. My body thinks I’m in a famine or war zone and it’s trying to keep me alive without taking into account the calories are available. I do Pilates; eat balanced; don’t smoke, drink, drugs; my labs are good; no blood pressure issues, no diabetes or pre-diabetes; etc. I told the doctor I feel confident my body will lose the weight once it feels safe. My doctor was very fair in their delivery of the pros and cons of the drug. I can see how it could be really helpful for those 100s of pounds overweight and will die an early death bc of the obesity. The cons of the drug may very well be worth it for them to not die at 40. Like any medication you need a holistic plan to support the healthy lifestyle change. If you are only doing the med, you’re setting yourself up for pain later. You need a village for the weight loss. Random - My dietitian mentioned that some people have overactive ghrelin receptors or GHS-R (pretty sure she said that one). GHS-R can convert the calories you consume into more calories. For example, you eat 1600 cal, but their GHS-R may turn that 1600 to 1800 calories. So no matter how much you cut your calories (in safe levels) your body keeps making more, which is incredible. Thats how we survived famines. Our bodies aren’t used to this food ecosystem we are in and us having so much access to food throughout the day. Most of past humanity couldn’t even fathom the food access most of us have now in America. I’m not minimizing there are those with food vulnerabilities. I’m simply stating that overall there is saturated food system in present day that hasn’t been experienced by humanity for most of its existence.

Ozempic was placed on the market as a diabetes medication to help with insulin levels and so on. Ads say, you may lose weight with. It is not medication for strictly losing weight and I can’t believe doctors are giving it out as such. The weight loss comes with better knowledge of your disease, eating habits and exercise. Ozempic is to help tweak all of that. It frosts me when they say they are on it for weight loss. Doctors, that is irresponsible and no one yet knows the long term effect.
