Have you or someone you know tried to get one of these medications? What happened?
I know 2 people that have. One lost a lot of weight. She is a pharmaceutical professional and totally recommends it. Another has not lost too uch weight but is on the way to. But she says the nausea is too much.
I've been on both Ozempic and Mounjaro. I've lost 40 lbs. so far. What I like about them is it switches off the "food noise" in your head. I'm not sitting at my desk in the afternoon dreaming about what I'm going to eat for dinner. And once I DO eat, I'm not tempted to go whole hog. Portion control was always my issue. The drug solves that.
0:42 factual correction: “all of them come packaged in injectable pens with adjustable dosing” - not true. Only Ozempic has adjustable dosing. Wegovy and Mounjaro pens have set doses that cannot be adjusted.
My problem is that I don't eat because I'm hungry. I eat because donuts are really fucking good.
Yeah some people just get way too much dopamine from food.
More than 80% of people that aim to lose weight will lose a substantial amount during their lives. Keeping the weight off is the main problem people face. Most people regain and increase that weight within 5 years

Yup people eat too much pasta, butter, sugar, sauce, oils, etc.
The "American" diet is one of excess by nature.
The problem is that people crash diet and don't ever adopt diet and exercise into their daily routines. Calories in, calories out. It's physics. Calories can only go in through your mouth and they can only be burned through activity. "Genetics" is the biggest urban myth. It doesn't take a skinny person that much more Calories to run a couple miles every few days...it probably actually takes them a few less.
I was ordered wegovy but it was out of stock everywhere so I started saxenda instead which is made by the same company as wegovy its an injection but it's daily.
The 1st month I lost 0
Month 2 I lost 10 lbs....I couldn't eat I was so sick there was a couple days I thought I would die because I wasn't eating for days at a time....like at all..
Month 3 I would gain 2-5 lbs a day then 2 days later I'm down 7 lbs this was back and forwards.
I would like to mention I used diets, hired a personal trainer, used a boot camp, the slim fast plan, and most weight lost was 4 lbs.
Saxenda is now on shortage so I start wegovy in a week.
I would to those desperate to lose weight even if your over weight like Me but far from being off the scale obese... . It's worth a go..... theses meds work better apparently the more you weigh tho.
Sad that ppl with diabetes will need this pen and may be out of stock for them
YES. IT'S the same thing as Taking a ♿️ spot away from the people that can't eaven walk it to a store and get a shopping cart..Or a Handicapped scooter because of walking people has taken them.😢
I remember seeing some ads from the companies just mentioned.
Dios te bendiga me gustaría que los des información en Español gracias 🙏
Lift and walk. It’s free and has some side effects. Side effect: you will feel great!
If you want to trick stomach it's full without eating much you can eat foods which do that naturally rather than going for tiktok prescription 🤣🤣
My tip for weight loss: Drink 7+L of water per day and cut your regular dinner in half and eat the second half before you go to sleep. You feel full all day, you don't wake up with hunger pains so you don't need breakfast or lunch. No diet adjustment is required other than cutting out sugar (use artificial) and takeout (it's full of fat) obviously.
You essentially cut your calorie intake in half without feeling starved and much more if you eat sweets or snacks.
Plus after the diet, you've gotten into the habit of reaching for a full bottle of water before you eat something you shouldn't. You pee a lot more, but it's good you get up from the desk every hour and a bit anyway.
Who cares
People care except you
