  1. Hopefully, if people can get off of processed and junk foods for 90 days or so their brain can be broken of it and their taste buds reset. Also, hopefully, in that time, they’ll get into the habit of healthy living, healthy cooking etc and get used to that instead!
    I’m sure most people would be shocked at how sweet a carrot or tomato tastes once they stop eating processed sugars.

    1. I agree with this, and I feel like lifestyle change is healthier in the long run. As someone who was on Ozempic for a while, I was barely eating on it, and that definitely would have led to malnutrition and other problems down the road

  2. If it sounds to be good to be true it likely is …. I think it’s just more pharmaceutical nonsense

  3. Was on it for a little while and I hated it. I was nauseous almost all the time, I could barely sleep, and I felt wired all the time. It felt like my entire life revolved around the med, because you do literally have to change your entire lifestyle to accommodate it. As someone with BED I loved how it quieted the food noise and gave me more energy when exercising. But that’s about it. I also didn’t like the fact that I’d have to stay on it indefinitely in order for it to keep working, and I was concerned after reading the research that most people who come off it gain all the weight back and then some. The research was also normed mostly on White men with no other medical conditions besides metabolic ones and no mental health history, and the trials only lasted 2 years, so there’s no way to know how it affects people long term. I switched back to Vyvanse for my ADHD & BED and I love how much more in control of my body I feel.

  4. These people don’t have a clue. They say “it does work” like they’re slowly pulling a nail out of a 2×4. These drugs are life-changing. People who have been fat their whole lives, aging into heart-attack and stroke territory, can now lose 20 to 30% or more of their bodyweight. All kinds of diabetes and cholesterol and other signs of inflammation and illness just go away.

  6. It also helped curb the excitement from shopping. I dont know how but l noticed that. It may work with some addiction- you never know!

  7. It’s an excellent tool, the weight loss drugs are the perfect guide into breaking the addiction behavior and bad habits. I’m having great success with wegovy so far and thankfully not really any bad side effects. It’s honestly a medical miracle.

  8. I would use GLP-1 medication….but those who tried and stopped say that they feel now ravenous, food noise is constantly in their heads… no, I will not bear such an ending

    1. 2 ways people do it. 1. Starve themselves and don’t eat on it properly. This is where the mistakes are. 2. Meet your protein requirements, and you’re fine.

  9. Once you’ve gotten off the high carb processed diet it’s a lot easier to maintain your weight. GLP1s work but if you’ve haven’t changed what and when you eat you’ll gain the weight back after you’re done with the drug

    1. Actually no. I was on keto, hrt, and did 4 days of water fasting we weekly for 5 months with zero weight loss. I added t3 for hypothyroidism, no weight loss. When I added zepbound and metformin started losing a pound a week. No other changes. My weight gain is hormonal so having a hormonal fix is not surprising. If I can lose the weight, I hope thag can reset my insulin resistance. But I was at a point where I was considering fasting 2 weeks at a time and my md said it would just result in muscle wasting, not fat loss.

  11. I took it and ate super sensibly: no excessive restriction and more than enough nutrient dense whole foods. I lost 3 stones without any deprivation. How much of that was fat I can’t tell you. But I can tell you that, aside from the mild lowering of my mood and even milder constipation, my lower arms weakened considerably on this drug and they still ache 8 months off. I lift weights and that helps, but the pain is still there.
    I suspect more is going on here. Perhaps bone synthesis is being blocked?

  14. The entire process of weight loss isnt about weight loss at all. It’s about health and becoming healthy. It takes time, is painful, and sometimes frustrating when you want to change your lifestyle but it transforms you. When you transform your mindset, view of who you are, what your body wants and the dynamics, the reasons why or why not and the gap between human body and our brain, it is the enlightment. Ozempic or any other medicines don’t give you all those. This is our universe and this is our world where nothing is done fast, nothing has a quick fix and it takes a lot of energy in a gradual process. Get that in your head and get to work.

  16. Ozempic can cause pancreatitis, stomach paralysis, acute kidney injury, gallbladder problems, severe low blood sugar, and diabetic retinopathy complications. Fasting, if done correctly, can cause healing.

  17. Emotional eating is my main problem. Ozempic helped me a lot, but now I need to stop the neverending snacking without the help of the shots.

  18. Sadly a sister of a friend of mine went on ozempic and lost a tremendous amount of weight. She had excess skin removed and other surgeries. Unfortunately when she went off ozempic she was in the same situation as she was beforehand and all her weight came back on
