Have you tried Ozempic? What was your experience?
I used ozempic for type 2 diabetes and it caused me to get pancreatitis and the company gave me $5 refund - what a joke !!
And I lost zero weight after using it weekly for a couple months - so no weight loss and a huge hospital bill - NO THANK YOU
Just fast forget the drugs wow people Will do anything to lose weight even if it isn't healthy good luck to all 😂😂😂
@@cindyodonnell5132 Hospital bill? What happened did you get sick?
I’m on Wegovy now, no symptoms and I’m never hungry
I was prediabetic and 20 lbs overweight. My PCP recommended Mounjaro 2.5. I took 2 doses and then stopped. My blood sugar went alarmingly low, ended up in the ER, they said I have reactive hypoglycemia. I had severe constipation, food would just not digest in my stomach, acid reflux, dizziness and so on. I decided I can do this on my own and I did. 11 weeks later A1C is 5.4 from5.9, lost 13Lbs.I cut the carbs and no sugar, walking 4 miles/day and just eating healthier, smaller portions and also intermittent fasting. I don't want to rely on semaglutides for the rest of my life and live with the fear of what the side effects of this drug will eventually do to my body.
Way to take the wheel
👏👏
@@HealthCoachKait Thank you!!!!
Please keep us motivated, health is so important, you are doing a fantastic job Kait
Hi how long did it take you to see changes when you were off? I’m doing exactly what you said after getting off and I guess I’m getting overwhelmed with all the rapid results this medicine give to people. I am A1c 6 and I’ve been keeping my glucose level and I’m ketosis leveled. I guess I’m just missing working out more. But I might be on keto flu because I’m exhausted.
@@CocoEnyy I went "cold turkey" on cutting the sugar and carbs. I am not on a full keto, I mean, I cannot eat very fatty foods, I eat protein and veggies, eggs, some cheese, salads with grilled chicken, grilled fish. I make tortillas with almond and lupin flour, they are delicious. I started to see weight loss after 2-3 weeks. I average 1-1.5 lbs/week. I believe a more drastic loss is not sustainable or healthy. Be patient and consistent. Don't give up, this is the secret. Basically, changing the way you eat for good. It is amazing how great I feel, no more joint pain, no more feeling sluggish. I'm down 15 lbs since I last posted here. Good luck!!!!! Oh, and my A1C is 5.3. My PCP was amazed when I told him I did it without Mounjaro.
I was on it for a few months before I took myself off due to the horrible stomach cramps. It was unbearable if I went too long without eating even when I didn’t want to. I don’t think I will go back to it. I love your videos, they helped me so much. I changed my eating based on your lists and I lost weight.
❤❤
Great video. Thank you Kait!
I have a 50 y.o. friend who has been on Ozempic long enough to lose 100 lbs, over a year. He does not use now. A1c and blood pressure are normal. He also quit smoking , stopped sugary carbs and rides a mountain bike regularly 10 to 15 miles. No side effects. and no relapse.
Your smile makes my day, thank you.
😁😁
One great embrace Kait
I went from 213 to 183 in a little less than 3 months without being on ozempic, my doctor want to put me on it and my insurance wouldn't cover it, I'm glad they said no. Didn't need it.
Great results! What changes did you make?
@@HealthCoachKait tracked my calories to 1500/day, nothing with sugar in it and did cardio 5x a week
I would strongly recommend natural steps for weight loss and not recommend the huge hype of Wegovey or Ozempic for weight loss.
❤️❤️
Yep. Impatience = consequences
I’m taking Ozempic it’s helping with my Type 2 diabetes. I’ve had minimal side affects. Weight loss is a bonus.
👍👍
Was on Semaglutide for 5 months. Felt great during that time. Had started it to help with very bad inflammation from chronic health issues. It worked great & lost 35lbs. Had terrible constipation the entire time! At month 3, I started with nausea & no appetite at all. Then suddenly it kick-started my Sjorens in a bad way, then came the dizziness & headache for a solid month w/out relief. Then all of a sudden I got terrible vertigo, terrible weakness all over & heart pounding. Within 4 days I couldn't walk or talk. I've been down for 6wks now. Wasn't until wks 4 I started to get a little strength back. This week I'm stronger but still really struggling. I'm doing everything I can to regain my health naturally & get this medicine out of my body. Very dangerous medicine. Since this happened I have heard from a half doz. health providers & about a dozen ppl that have experienced similar stories to mine. It's been so awful. Never want to go thru this again & do not want anyone else to suffer the way I have. Stay far away from these meds.... Too dangerous! My Dr has since stopped prescribing it & has called all her colleagues to do the same.
WOAH 😥
Wow, not a good story 😢
Same
I hope you get your health back and recover gently.
Thanks kait.. now i really should reconcider..
Hi Kait, great job on your video. I love your mint chip ice cream top 😁👍☕
Haha thanks! 🍫🍫🍫
@@HealthCoachKait I also don't use either of these drugs
For a second there, i thought she had a keto friendly Mint chip ice cream recipe 😅
@@CHARLESSBRONSON 😁👍
@@CHARLESSBRONSON same 😂
3 months on Ozempic. I have combined that with a low carb diet and also intermittent fasting. Lost over 30 lbs and my A1C dropped from 8.5 to 5.6! I have had no real side effects except a bloated feeling if I eat too much or too fast presumably because my stomach doesn't empty as quickly. I don't crave food or feel hungry the way I used to. So, I can control my eating and try also to "eat clean" with lots of protein, veggies etc and minimal foods.
Glad you have had such good results!
Are you still currently on it? I'm eager to know if there are changes after you stop taking it.
Not going to' Hi Kait thank you for sharing with us.I enjoy your videos.
I've been taking mounjaro since sept. Yes, I have a lot of side effects and it's different for each dose. 2.5 was fine, 5mg I couldn't get out of bed for fatigue for 3 days, stomach cramps, nausea...I almost stopped taking it. The 7.5 was alright, nothing to complain about. I stayed on that for 4 months. The 10mg makes me start my period every week. It's a shortage right now, so I had to go up to the 12.5 for a week until they could get some 10s in stock. That dose made my skin feel like pins and needles. I couldn't sleep, the sheets hurt, my clothes hurt, nobody could touch me....I'm thinking of staying on the 10s a while. That was horrible.
Now, as far as the weight loss, I've only lost 26 lbs because I had already cut out everything I could. I was down to 85% carnivore and dark greens which I am still doing. It just doesn't come off of people under 200 like it does with larger people, but I already knew that, I've battles this my whole life.
On the other hand, my sister who topped out at 305 is also taking mounjaro, just passed her 100# mark last week and she's catching up to me.
My MIL started wegovy last month and has dropped 25+ lbs. That really scares me for her. Of course she is loving it, who wouldn't? But it will soon come to a hault and she will eventually gain it back once she gets off of it.
I can tell when mine starts to wear off because I can't quit eating! I know I'm not taking in enough or drinking enough, but thankfully I don't buy or make any snacks too bad so I don't have the junk food to grab.
It's been a roller coaster, but I'm not to quick to recommend it without the warning tags with it!
I am a type 2 diabetic. I tried to take Ozempic and Mounjaro.. BOTH raised my heart rate more and more every week. I had to stop taking it. Any suggestions as to what I can use in place of these two?
Can you take berberine while on metformin, ozempic, or injectible insulins?
Been on ozempic for 6 months. I’ve lost 36 pounds. I’m monitored closer by my doctors. Blood work is always great. Minimal side effects. Usually it’s just constipation or heart burn. I’ve responded well to it but I know everyone doesn’t.
👍👍
Ozempic is to expensive for every month price
@@MOMMYchel103 I have insurance but for those that don’t then yes it’s expensive
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I had great results with this. Hyper tension has improved. Drop my A1C. Lost 30lbs in 2 months. My joints feel better and can do more with my kids 😊
So happy for you ☺️☺️ I can't wait to try ozempic! 30 pounds is amazing! Any side effects?
@Holly J Not too many. There are some gastric upsets, but I found that was when I over ate. For me, it wasn't much, but I was a one meal a day kinda person prior to starting. I caution you about water intake. When you thought you had drank enough water, drink more, and it can be dehydrating due to fluid shifts in cell absorption. Not everyone is going to lose 30 lbs in 2 months or less. My doctor was VERY surprised by this. That's 8% of body fat gone almost instantly. It's fastest he has seen anyone lose. Because of the dramatic loss, I will be undergoing hormonal testing and speaking with an endocrinologist as we both are certain. This is a metabolic issue for me. I lost my weight on only 0.25mg. I kept increasing every month as instructed but did not need to. Once I took 1mg, I felt awful. I was tired and had more gastro upset ( I do have GERDs). I dropped back to 0.25mg and still continued to lose rapidly. My advice would be to stay on one dose as long as possible until it stops working and then bump up. You should only lose about 2lbs per week for a healthy weight loss. This is NOT a miracle drug. A lot of people have side effects. In addition be patient with yourself accept the small successes. Do not push yourself too hard or too fast because you think you should have lost more by a certain (unrealistic) time frame. Good luck on your journey.
That's awesome! ❤😊
Tried Ozempic and Trulicity for weight loss, but the nausea was just too much. I couldn’t function and had to stop both. Still trying to lose weight but not much success.
My blood insulin was high, and blood pressure so Dr diagnosed me with insulin resistance ,started me on this on friday. Hopefully i can reverse my insulin resistance and loose weight. I am pretty heavy
Just saw few videos (Dr Boz) which indicates lot of lean mass loss on ozempic and not so much fat. IMF and low carb is the way to go. Cheap and effective.
Right! I completely forgot to touch on the muscle loss! 😥
Hiya great video, easy to follow. I am 42 & 6yrs post menopause, my weight gain in the past 3 years has been crazy, 60 lbs over weight Bmi is obese. In 3yrs I have gone from 120lbs to 188lbs & still climbing 😢 I need help with diet and insulin resistance. Any help would be appreciated ❤
Exactly what happened to me. Then I was working 10 hour days stressful at a computer so yes went up. Bmi >30. Was tiny all my life until now. Been sad for 10 years and been asked if I was pregnant so? On keto & phentermine for a year. Lost 5 pounds. 😢So I hear you for sure!
Diarrhea and nausea will cause weight loss quicker than anything. My mom is a type 2 diabetic and she refuses to take ozepmic to help manage because of the more serious side effects.
What are all the signs of insulin resistance. The chart disappears so fast. Thank you.
Belly fat, skin tags, high triglycerides, low HDL, high blood pressure… those are a few!
Good morning 😃
Afternoon 😁
I have a client that’s takes one of these. I was afraid for them. I could just imagine the side affects. They are just 20 years old!!!!
I just started my 3rd week on Ozempic. I also take insulin and metformin. The doctor warned me that I will start feeling full sooner. If I try to take the extra bite, that brings on the nausea. I have been on a carnivore diet since October, but the weight loss has been slow (12 lbs so far). The Ozempic has curbed my appetite significantly, so I am hoping it will increase my weight loss.
You’re on Ozempic, metformin AND insulin?! 😳 Surely you don’t need much insulin if you are eating very low carb?
@@HealthCoachKait I need very little at mealtimes(10 units). It's the long acting insulin I take at night(60 units), or my fasting sugars are above 140.
Be careful of getting off Ozempic… my weight flew back on.
Took Ozempic for 5 weeks, hair started falling out by the handful. Stopped it and the few pounds I lost came back right away..
If you are insulin resistant then isn’t this injection bad for you since it helps real release insulin. I already have all the symptoms of insulin resistance even a high insulin blood level. I even have hypoglycemic attacks a couple times a month.
You would think so but I think the amount it suppresses your appetite and stops you from eating offsets the excess insulin 😅
In New Zealand it is on prescription only and it used for type 2 diabetics. I have been on it here as Trulicity for nearly a year. My weight loss has not been amazing but I have stablized and have recently been discharged from the diabetes specialist as my Hba1c has normalized. Also I have a kidney disease that has improved. I had major nausea the first few months but this has settled. I still have around 10-15kg to lose and will be interesting how long I keep taking it. There was concern worldwide that it can be in short supply thanks to celebs using it for weight loss without actually being diabetic but so far it is still available here. Thanks for an interesting break down of this drug.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
So it can replace Metformin?
Nausea cannot be fun though
This is my fear nausea 😞 I'm still going to try it .I'm happy things have normalized for you. Really stinks celebs taking ozempic hopefully not a shortage here in the US.
@@hollyj2925 Not the nicest feeling, but on the up side def not as hungry lol. Was more careful with food selection as eating carbs def made the nausea worse. We always have a tray of delish seasonal fruit at work and it took me a bit to not be tempted.
@@annaboivin9209 yes. I'm going to have to not eat as many carbs then. Must be hard looking at fruit and not eat. I'm hoping to stop my hunger and severe sugar cravings.
@@hollyj2925 I use a small (not a chain) pharmacy here in North Carolina. My pharmacist says drug company is shipping the drugs to online pharmacies first, then big chains. He has not been able to get any. I don't care on my behalf, because my research tells me not to take it. I decided to use my will power.
I’m on Wegovy now. I have experienced nausea. I’m averaging a little less than one pound of weight loss a week. I am experiencing some acid reflux.
How long have you been on it?
@@HealthCoachKait I’ve been on it six weeks. It’s definitely changing my relationship to food. Since starting Wegovy, I tend to feel fuller faster, but more importantly I don’t crave food. It’s definitely affecting my desire for food. So I see that it is sending messages to my brain. I’m not sure if I’m being clear. Maybe a better way of putting it is, it seems to have a two pronged effect. First, it makes me feel full, and secondly, it makes me think less about food, in general.
I wasn’t keen on going on a medication for weight loss, but my metabolism is super efficient. I worked with a nutritionist, and cut out sugar, simple carbs, dairy, etc.. and went down to 540 calories per day. After 60 days I lost two pounds. I was miserable. I couldn’t go anywhere others were eating. It was incredibly hard on my social life. Now the smell of food doesn’t make me want to eat.
I have type 2 diabetes and I'm going to start ozempic this Friday when I see my Dr. I'm excited lose weight and get my blood sugar down.
Make sure to focus on building sustainable diet and lifestyle habits, too ❤️
Goodluck
I just had my 2nd dose. I had very mild side effects with the first dose and none so far with my 2nd dose. I took metformin and even tho i was eating a low carb diet & intermittent fasting my A1C increased from 6.2 to 6.9 over a year timespan. I would lose & gain the same 10 lbs. With Ozempic I'm not having the cravings and I'm down 8 lbs already.
👏👏
Poisen!!!

Hey! Hi! Honestly, for the price of this stuff, you can simply change your diet and lose fat (I use that term, as "lose weight" isn't quite right). This is a dangerous and lazy way of trying to lose fat. Know what I just did? I wisked together a balsamic vinaigrette for my side salad with dinner tonight, which will also include home made gyro (lamb) meat over a little of my spiced brown basmati (very well washed and cooked with cumin, turmeric, red chiil powder, Celtic sea salt, bay leaves, a little butter, eevo, water).. A meal like this will fill you up and knock fat off you. Barring fat gain and insulin resistance from meds, it's about changing your diet. These meds are dangerous, and a lazy way of trying to lose the fat. Now, go have some home made hummus (topped with a mix of cumin, paprika, sumac and eevo), with carrot sticks. That was my lunch. Then I went out walking and doing stuff like shopping, the post office, etc. People can make any excuses they want to, but until you change your diet first and foremost, you are full of crap. Take it easy. (Sorry for being so long winded.)
Just watched a video put in color from 1930 of the packed streets of N.Y. city...not one fat person
Those eye's
