im sorry but you say one thing but do another. your old videos are chalk full of trends of diets.. but you havent deleted theem or at least made a disclaimer and stopped moneytizing over them. teens can still see those toxic mindesets and follow them. i have unsubscribed due to this and many have also.
Came here because my mum is diabetic and has had problems to get her ozempic since it blew up…she is chronically ill and needs it and just because some random ppl are too lazy to work out they take away the Medicine of the ppl who REALLY need it to LIVE. People these days get more and more egoistic…..
Sad thing is they are not fully at fault either. Pharma took advantage of the "shortage" and raised the prices when they could've just incrase the production.
Especially the celebrities and richer individuals who literally have access to any food, any personal trainer or personal chef, and any plastic surgery they want and still choose to use it
@softyume some people have to take it tho like my mom. She tried to loose weight for 10 years and dieted but nothing worked. she was pre diabetic too so this medicine was the thing that saved her. not everybody is being lazy
I hope your mum got the medicine she needed eventually. I'm sure she deserves health, and so do you. Take care of your body, and don't use your mum's medicine to lose weight that you probably don't even need to lose in the first place (not assuming you would, just covering all the things)
As a German I can say we think the Americans are crazy because this drug is trending and also how badly it's controlled. I think it should be obvious that taking a drug as a regular person for weight loss isn't healthy.
Wegovy ist jetzt gerade in Deutschland auf den Markt gekommen und ich bin mir sicher es wird seine Abnehmer (pun not originally intended aber lol) auch hier finden... :/
In the US, you can only buy medicine in supermarket (that anyone can buy) if that drug has been proven to have very few or very mild side effects. Do you have to get a prescription for Tylenol or aspirin there in Germany? For drugs like ozempic/wegovy, you absolutely have to have a prescription and they're only available from pharmacies.
@@silvia-l4p7bshe’s rich enough, i remember a real housewife reality star also did so despite not having diabetes. ozempic can be prescribed under a different name (like semaglutide) for non diabetics if a doctor believes it’s “safe” to use, which i’m assuming can only happen if they can afford to keep going to doctors until one prescribes it. they probably all see the same one. they find loopholes, because the american healthcare system is unfortunately that corrupt and easy to take advantage of with money.
Exactly. Being skinny is a side effect/ byproduct of being healthy. If you workout and balance your meals with a healthy lifestyle, making sure you’re eating healthy non-processed foods most of the time and then occasionally treating yourself to treat foods that you like, then you will be happier, and as a byproduct, thinner. That’s just how it works. These people are just really lazy.
im just going the normal way cus like im a teen where am I gonna get my hands on this and plus the side effects like why won't people go the normal route (even tho im not going the safest route cus im literally starving myself but I don't want to take that unless if I actually needed it) plus yea other people need it
@@rainfall6805just want to say being overweight is not being “lazy.” My sister was bullied mercilessly in school because she gained so much weight but she was on drugs for her mental illness that she absolutely had to take. She got bullied so bad she stopped taking them and spiraled and I just hate how so many people judge others for being overweight or disabled and call them lazy when they have no idea what is going on with that person. Same with medications with side effects that make you eat a lot.
@@brizsquadalso please don’t starve yourself your body needs calories, fat, and other nutrients for energy and produce a healthy glow. Starving yourself actually makes you look sick and hurts your mental health and actually causes there to be way more bloating.
I’m in school for dietetics and can only imagine the effects of being on a drug like this long term for someone that doesn’t NEED it. There’s a lot of danger in this for the use of weight loss physically and presumably mentally if it isn’t needed, especially if it’s causing people to forget to eat.
Yeah, i can tell that.. as a biotechnology student i learned about diabetes and its molecular targets and this trend is awful for your body, there is another drug more gentle with your body but aint gonna tell
If you are aware of a better solution, then perhaps you may consider sharing it, here. It could REALLY help some people. I don’t know how folks are able to get this so easily. I gained 30 Lbs after having a baby and despite my efforts am not making progress. It’s difficult with a baby to prioritize like I should, I am not lazy, I have my moments, but am struggling with my weight and blood pressure as I had preclampsia. I am booked to see a doctor concerning my weight in September and am going to ask about this med to support my routine. Please consider sharing your alternative, as I would appreciate and would do due diligence. I am not trying to be skinny, just at a healthy weight for my body and to get off this BP medication, and being an active and balanced mom. Thanks for considering and best of luck on your studies!
@@VansfanmailI am not a medical professional, just a general health & fitness nerd, but my first thought upon reading your post was: Have you had a full blood panel done recently, particularly looking at hormone levels? I'm particularly curious about thyroid levels because there's a type of thyroid information that is not uncommon in women after childbirth that's worth ruling out before making any other kinds of changes. That's just one specific example of a variety of things I would think they'd want to look for. I'm often surprised by how frequently doctors seem to shrug off health issues after pregnancy. One of my colleagues was an avid runner before pregnancy, but she couldn't run for years after childbirth because of how bad her hips would hurt. She took up pole dancing instead and loved it, so I'm happy for her that she found that, but I'm personally outraged that her doctor wouldn't have referred her to physio to get checked out because, you know, the ability to move your legs properly without pain is kind of important, and whether one has had a baby or not should be no reason for a doctor to dismiss pain and disability, imo.
Yes. This video didn’t mention it, but suicidal rates from taking this drug are going up, as well as depression. Forcing your body to stop eating and basically entering a delirium of not understanding your bodies’ needs can and will lead you to unhappiness and depression.
@@Ad1nfernum hi, thanks for replying to my comment. I was already diagnosed with hypothyroidism prior to pregnancy. I see female doctors just for this purpose of understanding but I often feel a disconnect anyways, and that I am just another patient of the medical industrial complex. I’m sorry to hear about your friend. I’ve had to advocate a whole bunch and do research and recommend my own course of treatment often or keep pushing conversations. I’ve had to take my own action and wish that I could see a holistic doctor. But I need to use my insurance for visits and that keeps me going to what’s available and covered under my plan. I’m glad to hear your friend found a practice that helps her. Pole dancing can help a person in many ways, I’ve tried it before, SUPER rigorous. Also, I’ve gotten panels done but no one ever explains them. There’s so many gaps in healthcare but everything is temporary and we must push forward. I guess I’m just saddened by the gate keeping that happens. This is just another example of using and abusing our “natural” resources, just on another level/dimension.
I work in a pharmacy, and the amount of people asking for it without being in need is shocking. Worst thing is that the companies that produce Ozempic were on a shortage because of the amount of people that take it without diabetes, and the people that actually had it (mostly old people) would come and cry, because they were afraid to die.
i have a question,i’m overweight and i’m 14..i really want to lose weight but i keep craving sugar like chocolate and candy what should i do? i don’t eat much since i get full very easily but i cant stop craving sugar
@@Ant1quedoll ua-cam.com/video/Wcs2PFz5q6g/v-deo.html Long story short, every time you eat sugary foods, immediately do something healthy - it will make these two actions a single one for your brain. Some time will pass and it will become easier to recognise when you fall for a bad habit and stop. Cravings will be less and less loud in your head but it will take some time
I’ve recently gotten to know a woman who needs the drug because of medical complications who is currently suffering due to widespread shortages. She can’t live a normal life because the medicine *she is literally dependent on* because of *real medical issues* is being prescribed for vanity’s sake. I think that’s just messed up
Also you can still enjoy unhealthy foods like mcdonalds or chocolate or something, just in moderation. A diet only consisting of salad isn’t good either! Everything in moderation, that’s what people need to learn.. to find balance.
@@lapinpuffLol. Stop the lies. Being overweight is unhealthy. All overweight people are unhealthy compared to a person in good health who has a healthy weight. Being fat is a health issue
Girlies trust me, you don't want to forget to eat. It happens to me a lot since i was a kid and i often fear becoming physically ill because of that, eating suddenly will becomes a chore and trust me its exausting
Right I forget to eat and then my throat hurts and it’s hard to keep food down when I *do* eat. I live such an active lifestyle and that helps me prioritize eating to combat this.
I'm not trying to shame anyone in the comments section but I have hard time grasping how it's possible to forget to eat because I'm used to my body sending the signals: the que of hunger or hunger pains. It's possible that rather "forgetting" to eat your bodies are not receiving that signal of hunger..... Because if you're receiving those signals loud and clear, like most people, it's not a matter of "forgot" to eat but you suppressing your appetite to do x,y,z tasks bc you're busy with something. In any case if it's not a symptom of an ADHD (which is understandable) it's better not to suppress your appetite and hunger ques just to get work done just bc you live in an environment where there's not enough time or breaks to eat.
@@thethe4665Where do yours happen? My first (and so far only faint) was at a laundromat but I was already sitting so I didn't hit my head on anything. Got lucky. Hopefully you get lucky too.
People will ALWAYS want the easy way out and those who actually put effort aren’t recognised anymore, instead they’re seen as “crazy” for putting effort.
some people can't loose weight!!! and not everyone is lazy!! my mom worked out so much for almost 10 years trying to be healthier but she lost nothing, she was pre diabetic and the medicne was the thing that helped her
Using ozempic as a weight loss drug not only has severe consequences on those who take it but especially on diabetic patients. In fact, lots of patients are facing difficulties in finding doses of ozempic - a drug that they NEED in order to LIVE - due to the high demand from people who don't need it but still use it for "cosmetic" purposes. Therefore, that's not only dangerous for one's own health but also extremely selfish to do as they are putting other people's lives at stake.
Tiktok is so toxic, my mom wouldnt let me have it when i asked a few years ago, and now that I'm older, I'm so glad i don't have it. I'm probably the only one in my class without it 😂 Sidenote: Your channel helped me so much! Mentally and physically. I learned more from you than my bio class lol. Thank you so much Zoe!! 🖤
I applaud you for not caving into the tik tok lifestyle! Don't let anyone discourage you or make you feel bad for not having it. You are doing AMAZING and as time moves forward, you will 100% understand all the bullets you have dodged. I used to spend like 15 hours a week on tik tok, and while it was entertaining in the short term, in the long term it wore me down. You don't even realise the effect it has on you until it's too late. I (finally) deleted it a couple months ago, and AHHHHH best decision in a while. My entire quality of life has improved so much. Stay strong, stranger
The fact this is an actual medication that some people need to survive and live a good life with diabetes is terrible. Those people who use it to lose weight when they can still technically do other things (work out, eat healthier...) to do so, are stealing medication from people who actually need them. I really hope this trend somehow dies out because it's bad for the user since they can have nausea and stuff, but it's even worse for those who genuinely need this.
@@macywebster1434 Finally someone got it, I am advanced IR and yes technically spea,ing not diabetic....yet. I am on it and in a year my IR disappeared, It eliminated my drinking and smoking which means I am low on neurotransmitters. Dont😅 give a damn what random creatures are thinking about me, I am on it for life.
Im just starting med school. I remember thinking in metabolism lessons "Couldn't we mess up with these hormones to make a magic pill?". I knew there had to be reasons why people didn't do it because if it was possible it'd have been done already, but I wanted to know what exactly would go wrong. OMG. SO MANY DISASTROUS THINGS JUST FOR ONE THING GOING OUT OF PLACE (biochem still scares me till this day with the insuline route and the things its connected to). And thought "Ah so that's why they don't do that." And suddenly people are taking type 2 diabetes treatment and I'm like "Please don't."
One hormone out of place causes issues. So imagine a lifetime of cross s€x hormones for trans or birth control pills that prevent certain hormones in the brain being released. I think certain medicines need to be rethought.
thanks for the video girl. i'm 13 years old and wheih 80-something kgs, so I love that u do this videos of bodypositivity without encouraging to be too overweight or underweight. thank you. ilysm from spain
I mean her Chanel still posts diet videos , glowup videos and videos on becoming skinny and stuff and it isn't for her health so kinda hypocritical it seems
@@tinavavlas4491I dont think thats the case Zoe talks about not having to follow societies beauty standards whether it to be too obese or too skinny but also acknowledges that someone can want to improve their body for many reasons such as health or just to feel better.Im 18 years old and im 68 kgs which isnt much and is in the healthy range of bmi but i do work out and do intermittent fasting.I would be lying if i said that i do this for only health reasons but i do it because I think i feel better at around 60 kg not because of beauty standards or anything but just personally.Everyone on this plannet has their ideal body type they like including Zoe.People need to realise that people can want to change their bodies without hating their bodies.I accept my body at 68 and at 60 or even more but should that stop me from bettering myself
How I wish there were pills for kindness, sincerity, honesty and empathy. But unfortunately, people continue to go crazy over their appearance, thinking it will make them happy
I searched this drug in some very popular china apps, and a lot of girls, e.g. 163cm tall, 50kg，are using this drug, hoping to lose weight, i mean, this is crazy!!!! they are not even fat at all, they are actually thin like hell. and they hope to lose more weight by using this drug. OMG!!!!
I first heard about this in Korean true crime podcast on spotify and those pills had horrifying aftereffects on people. The episode is called 'the butterfly pill' for the ppl interested in knowing more.
This whole situation pisses me off because it just takes resources from actual people who are type two diabetics (aka, me) My doctor literally mentioned it a few months ago that there's a shortage/going to be a shortage of ozempic because people who it isn't meant for are taking it instead. She couldn't even prescribe ozempic to me because of the small amount of ozempic that's been circulating around is being funneled to celebrities who simply want to lose a few pounds instead of people it'd actually help. I am SICK of celebrities taking and bastardizing medications that aren't meant for them and taking away resources from people who actually need it.
I’m so sorry you’re going threw that, hopefully people who are taking that specific medication won’t last that long 🤎✨ Celebrities are supposed teach youngsters and others the right way since they’re the most heard, it’s also up to the people themselves, people in the industry and outside of the industry is a disaster. Soon things will be taken care of, so you won’t have to see the suffer or go threw it any longer, hope god answers you’re prayers to those who abuse it, you’ll be back on track with that medication you need Very soon hopefully 🤎
making myself a good meal while watching this because i deserve to eat without shame. sometimes i feel immense guilt eating simple things like pasta or bread but I am trying to LEAVE THAT GUILT BEHIND
I feel so bad, I was at a healthy lower weight, now I'm slighty overweight and I just cannot accept myself. The hate is growing again. When I was skinny I was in love with myself, my body (for the first time in my life!), I could eat what I want but since I went to therapy I gained so much weight, couldn't do my workouts properly and now everything is f****d up... I wish there were easy ways to lose weight, I know some but they come with an unhealthy, big price I don't want to pay no more. I'm so sick of our society and my own bodyimage.
Please focus on all your other beautiful qualities. Don’t concentrate on your weight.. it’s normal for it to fluctuate. It’s to be expected. So, shift your focus on hobbies and your mental health :)
Рік тому+2
I loved myself more when I finally gave the middle finger to society It's okay to gain some weight. A few months back, bile sludge was attacking my health which cause me to lose weight in months. I could see my ribs and weigh less than 150 pounds in years. A natural remedy helped me which made me gain weight, but my face changed. Bucal fat appeared on my cheeks again and ribs show less. **As a welder, it is possible for me to lose weight again.
it’s genuinely so awful that people are unable to get the meds they need because of a trend, if you’re struggling to get what you need, i am so sorry and i hope this issue can be resolved for you soon 💗💗
I wasn't on Ozempic, but I was on Adipex. I managed to go from 200 pounds down to 139. I immediately gained back 6 pounds, but have been able to keep the rest of the weight off ever since. My cousin is a doctor and does not prescribe Ozempic often, due to its side effects. She also said that generics for Ozempic are not approved by the FDA. They can be dangerous.
other side effects also includes lost of lean tissue (muscle) and the thinning of the bone. This is why they report "weight-loss" and not "fat-loss" when showing the results, so the results can appear more effective. Yes, a higher percentage of fat is being lost, but there is a good percentage of lean metabolic tissue and some bone being lost, accounting for the total "weight-loss."
I think people are gaining more weight AFTER stopping it because they suppressed their hunger/fullness cues. So once you're off, you don't know where to stop and eat everything from the pantry (it makes me think of BED recovery and working on those cues). It's just my point of view from someone who is currently recovering from different ED and does a lot of research about intuitive eating
I really thought that as a society we made so much progress around body positivity and health, it’s so disappointing to have a trend around a fricking drug praised for making you nauseous and allowing you to starve yourself more easily…
Right like what happened to body positivity. Idk especially recently alot of progress for women have been down grading like it been a rise since Andrew Tate and Pager U of guys being against feminism and now in 2023 if ur a feminist it's almost a bad thing. Like what happened I thought us girls was going foward
we never made any progress, it was all an illusion to sell or something. skinny was still the beauty standard worldwide and the trends of bbl and big bodies, were never that big… just tick and hot
You know what else could suppress your sense of hunger? Depression. And after living through it I don’t understand why people want to not want to eat… I had to remind myself to eat so I don’t starve myself to death for more than 7 YEARS!!! It was a nightmare!!! When I started taking antidepressants and felt hungry for the first time on my memory, I literally cried while consuming this meal that came down from heaven. It was just pasta with tomatoes, sausages, and eggs. But still it was the best thing I had in years because I was naturally hungry and this hot meal satisfied me.
But depression can also make you crave food as a coping mechanism, too. For me, food makes me happy so when I’m depressed I like to eat. I’m even on an antidepressant known to decrease appetite and topirimate and an opiate and still I have a very healthy appetite! I try to only eat 1,000- 1,200 calories per day and get very frustrated if I go over that :/
i’m pretty sure i’ve seen HELLA ozempic ads and i’m pretty sure they always say, “ozempic is NOT a weight loss medication, though you may lose weight” like…y’all will really do ANYTHING to fit a stupid standard. but i don’t blame them, i blame those who have set the standard
This ‘skinny at all cost’ mindset being promoted is disastrous on so many levels. I don’t really know how to express it but I’m just shocked after your video. This idea that a drug is being promoted in order to get ‘healthy’ while at the same time the people truly needing this product (which is not a drug but a medicine for them) can’t afford it to survive is really horrible. I’m just happy to be far from this world. Maybe it’s in my imagination but coming from France it doesn’t seem like this issue is also growing in our country. We don’t have an equivalent to Hollywood where all the famous, rich etc. etc. people get together and do the same things like it seems to happen sometime in the US (I know it’s probably not what really happens but I hope you understand my point). Also I think I'm happy that we have health care here and a decent system that protect our health. Merci la SECU, tu sauves de ouf Never forget, your health should not be subject to a trend Avec amour
What horrifies me most about this is that actual sick people cant access this drug they need to LIVE because of selfish people misusing this drug. My mother has diabetes and she doesn't use this drug but I know of people that do and struggle to find it when they actually NEED it.
Undereating, even if you don't notice it "thanks to a new drug", is damaging in so many ways, and slows down your metabolism a lot, as the body tries to hold onto anything it currently has.
I kind of get all of the comments saying that the people taking ozempic are selfish for taking it because it is causing a shortage, and people they know are having a hard time getting it because of it. But I think there are a lot more reasons to blame the pharmaceutical industry, the health care system, and even the doctors that prescribe it. I see so many comments in other videos about obese people, obese creators, and stuff like that, in which they get criticized a lot because of them not losing weight, because they are not "taking care of their health", because they are "lazy". I lost a lot of weight recently, and I can assure you, sometimes, for some people, it's so fucking hard. For me, it was. I felt so pressured to lose weight from friends, family, and beuty standards around me. Also, side effects from ozempic sound awful. People are using it because they really, really want to lose weight. I don't know, if you read this whole thing, I would just want you to really put yourself in other people's shoes and be more empathetic, because from my perspective, obese people just cannot win.
I agree! Why are doctors not held accountable for this irresponsible and dangerous- for both those who need it and can’t get, and those that are abusing it for visible hipbones- prescribing?? I don’t live in America and the health system is different here, so my understanding is v patchy, but it seems pretty clear that doctors are failing the first point of the Hippocratic (pretty sure I failed that spelling) oath. It’s just so fucked, people wanting to be skinny is not new, and neither is taking pills to get there - amphetamines anyone? - but doctors and the pharmaceutical companies are ultimately responsible here for selling medicine to people that don’t need it and leaving vulnerable people without it. Just like everything else; it’s all about the Benjamins
I want to be skinnier. I sereously want to be skinnier, even tho I have a normal weight (My BMI is 20 or so) But I need to make changes in my diet, make portion control, go to the gym, make home workouts. It won't be easy, but it will be fully on me, and That's wonderfull.
i used to take and ADHD medication called ViVance (im not sure of the full name) and one of the side effects was not being hungry and always being full. i was a very insecure kid and was about 60kg at 10 years old. i was on it for about 3 years and i now weigh 42kg which is under the healthy average for a 13 year old. also because of the lack of food i was tired and just felt awful all the time and because of this medication its become a habit for me to not eat anything at school and only eat at home. im doing a bit better now but these kinds of medications have long lasting effects and people need to be more carful and sparing it for the people who need it!!
The latest study on this drug is,"bone loss",and if this not scare the h....out of you,i dont think anything will😓This has gone to far....,and i will rather have some extra kilo on me than breaking my arms and legs🙄
so glad i went thru that anorexia shit and survived because that shit changed my entire perspective id rather look lean instead of having a boney body that is skin and bones looking dead af not actually living 💀 never againnnnnn take care yall
As someone who already suffer from this symptoms without the drug, as i'm severely underweight, forget to eat, no appetites, feels nauseous and about to throw up when i eat, Which makes eating no different from a chore. It's really crazy to me how ppl chose pain instead of health.
I struggle with an eating disorder, and I was so shocked seeing this drug becoming a craze, as I know that I often 'forget' to eat and know the struggles that those underweight face. This drug is so horrifying to me, as I know that living and eating well is truly the only good way to lose weight and feel better about yourself. This reminds me of the laxative trend from years ago, and I think that this is so dangerous, and americans should not be able to have free range on this product.
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I blame youtubers and social media influencers (especially those who gain a lot of followers on their weight loss and diet videos 😉) who are hyping up and making ozempic trending and more and more popular.
I am glad to see people discuss this in more layers. I personally am really annoyed by how obesity is viewed and treated. People act like the only reason why anyone is fat is because they eat too much, they dont consider how many drugs can affect the metabolism not only the appetite, and how the metabolism is far from scientifically understood. We do NOT understand how exactly our bodies metabolize. I know people scream that we do, but we do not. There are plenty of people who eat a ton and dont gain a pound (for better or worse), people who barely look at food and gain weight, people who live unhealthy but dont get sick, and people who live healthy and get sick. The research into these matters isnt popular or encouraged. Why would it be? Selling us diet pills, diet programs and coaching programs and then blaming obese people for any illness so that insurance can save money is way more profitable aint it? Thats why from day 1 im mad at the enthusiasm people have over ozempic. I know people who eat too much and in 99% of the cases its a mental issue, result of years of trauma and eating disorders. Someting you should absolutely treat with more than a pill. Its great to help people deal with hunger and appetite, while teaching them healthy ways of feeding themselves. But if you dont get people back to baselevel what are we doing here? If medication increases appetite, and ozempic would help normalize it, then thats a good thing. But is that whats happening? If someone has diabetes, and this medication helps them, great. But i just want people to understand that not everyone who is obese eats a lot, not everyone who struggles with weight has diabetes. Im not the only person, but i can only speak for myself: Years of anorexia have brought my metabolism to nearly a halt. I seem to have all kinds of issues, like thyroid issues, slow metabolism, im freezing, my iron is low, my inflammation high. I gained a lot of weight, and it was always blamed on me as a person. I got diagnosed with anorexia and yet you know what the only help is that im offered? Gastric bypass and medication like ozempic. Why? Please ask yourself why. Insurance companies wont cover anything else, and doctors follow guidelines by offering only these two options to me. But i think everyone with some sanity in their mind will see the issue with this. Im already malnutrioned, i struggled with zero appetite for years and after many years of therapy i can proudly say i have finally felt hunger and a desire to eat. Why would a person like me profit from ozempic? I probably wouldnt lose any weight, because i already dont eat a lot, nor have high glucose or insulin levels. I need to take suppliments to upkeep my nutrition - so why would you force me to a lifetime of malnutrition by reducing my stomach size? People who are skinny or normal weight dont know what they are fucking with. They are inducing eating disorders upon themselves only for the currently popular body standard. I been there, and i hate that this is promoted as a medically healthy new step. The fatbias must stop! Thats what we need, and proper research.
I lost a lot of weight as a side effect of my medication (I will not tell you what I take), and let me tell you, it is no fun at all. I'm a dancer and do a lot of weight training. At some point, I was eating so little because I felt nauseous all the time that my muscles hurt way too fast if I tried to use them, and I was constantly out of breath. I felt like I couldn't maintain my job as a dance teacher nor my job as a barista. At that point, I turned to calorie counting, and for the first time in my life, it was not to lose weight but to make sure I would be eating enough. Listen, being skinny might be what society says is pretty, but not making it through your day, not being able to focus, losing your hair, or whatever because of nutrient deficiency is not worth it. Not to forget, fat does not simply sit on your body keeping you warm. It plays a big role in your hormone balance. Having low body fat can make you lose your period for a reason. (and that`s just the tip of the Iceberg) Can we all just agree that there are so many better ways to spend our time on Earth than to think about our looks? Learn a new language, an instrument, study for your exams, meet your friends, move your body, just live a little.
Just because she made a video of how to slim your legs (which isn't a bad goal) doesn't devalue the fact that people don't want to put in the effort to be healthy by taking a drug diabetic people ACTUALLY need.@@peukaby
This is so scary, the amount of people that put their health on risk js to be thinner is insane, and it’s bad for the people that actually have diabetes that need it cuz others that don’t are using it for their own benefit
It makes sense that you would gain more after stopping, you are basically starving yourself when on it and then when you gain the appetite back your body will want you to eat more/the body will hold onto fat as energy stores just in case the "starvation" happens again... There are no shortcuts people
I noticed that one clip of a tik tok you posted the girl said that O made her want to take her life and I've heard the same from some other youtubers! It can cause horrific mental health symptpms! So if you're considering taking it please be careful and on high alert, especially if you already have mental health struggles and perhaps consider not taking it at all! Just a concerned therapist here trying to help!💚
My dad actually works for Ozempic doing sales and complains about this all the time because now the doctors don’t want to prescribe it, which not only loses the company a lot of money (therefore it’s employees), but also ends up hurting real diabetics. And for what? A romanticized ED? So fucked.
My dad has serious type 2 diabetes and even in Poland, despite his neat salary, he gotta pay almost 1000 zloty (~$250) which is a lot for one box of meds in Poland. He even has to travel to different areas of the country to get his meds WITH A PRESCRIPTION FROM A DIABETOLOGIST, because none of the pharmacies in my 100k people city has it in stock. The state doesn't provide any refunds on it. Basically hunting for Ozempic has become his monthly habit during business trips. He started taking it when prices were around 250 zloty (~$60) and it was a rather high, yet acceptable price for such drug in Poland. Why does it happen, even outside the US? Because even in Europe and my shithole country, people prefer to vomit and have their guts broken cuz one "proper" body type is "acceptable".
You should talk about the adderall shortages, I routinely have to go without because pharmacies keep running out. People also will use this drug for weight loss.
My dad has diabetes, he doesn't take Ozemptic but I think he takes one that you showed and I don't really know about medical stuff, but I bet there's a shortage in all brands.
Forgetting to eat is very unhealthy. I never took no pills but my appetite was always small and it had times I went days without eating without realizing. When you do eat you get nauseous you have no energy and many more side effects I was in and out of the hospital and the fact that the people who actually need this can't even get it is so sad. I had a grandfather who had diabetes and he had to use this drug or wtv it is also he passed away but it's so sad that this is happening to those who need it because people are too lazy to put in the work smh. I have given up on humanity a long time ago and they just prove my point over and over
i don't know if it's about not knowing enough about the topic or simply being too aware of life that i genuinly do not understand how being ''skinny'' or ''fat'' is that serious. Like who started this?? why is everyone agreeing?? society is so weird to me, let's everyone just figure out how to live a balanced lifestyle challenge
plus, it makes total sense that there would be long term health effects from taking it. it's still less damaging than actual diabetes, with the nerve damage, the amputations etc. but dang... people are crazy. they have a perfectly good body (no diabetes) and they're willing to risk damaging their health and metabolism PERMANENTLY for weight loss ?
I have high metabolism and its truly a haven to eat as much as i want and stay skinny, still everyone is truly beautiful for the way you are skinny or not please take care of your body. :]
@@hell_ohh oh no not at all ive had similar experiences on truly hating my body and even starving myself for months..Skinny or not we all have struggled with our body, judging ourselves and comparing ourselves to others..its truly sad and i just want people to be happy with their bodies and not make the same mistakes i have done.
i've been on ozempic, and to be honest, most of these people that use it for weight loss have had trouble dieting in general. i was already dieting and restricting before ozempic, and after it i maintained the weight loss AND managed to lose even more just in an organic slower way. it's just a lack of self discipline that's making these people gain it all back.
As a woman that has been struggling with anorexia for the past six years (and having a lot of family members that struggle with the same disorder) I can assure you that trying to lose weight whilst ingesting enormous amounts of food is not possible without ruining your system. Showing this type of behavior to an audience made up of mostly young girls and boys is really dangerous. Eating disorders tend to appear when you are at a young age (let's say 12 to 14 years old) and if you are an impressionable teen and have this type of videos shown up to you 24/7, it's pretty logical to end up having some problems with your eating habits. Also, I want to say that for us people living in third world countries it's pretty crazy that whilst Americans do not have access to free healthcare they are taking the drugs that are used for people who have serious health issues. Tiktok and the platforms that have this type of content should be banned or have stricter regulations regarding these themes.
I honestly feel the struggle with being skinny and wanting to be so, for some reason I’m convinced that everything in my life would get better if I was skinny
Hey zoe, I was wondering if u could make a dieting/fitness video on how to stay lean and fit during the menstural cycle? Like how do you workout and eat without giving into the period hormonal cravings?
My epilepsy medication boosts your metabolism so you may loose a little weight but you eat, eat, eat! I get so hungry I can’t even stand up. I can’t imagine if I could t get it to function in my daily life. Medical care is crumbling everywhere, it’s horrifying.
i feel like people can just use other appetite suppressants that aren’t medicine needed by diabetics. it’s already unhealthy, so why not just stick to one’s people don’t need?
What scares me about Ozempic is that when we give a body with normal level of whatever substance or hormone, that body quits producing the substance. So once the medication is quit, it's basically a mess
I feel so bad for those people who are actually sick and who actually need to take Ozempic but can't because there's either a shortage or the price is simply too high. Like there are healthy ways of losing weight, working out and eating healty would do you more good in the long term than taking a drug
I'll admit that for most of my life, I was one of those annoying people that could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound. But, I was also an extremely active athlete, but it really is just genetics.
My dad uses ozempik but not entirely for weight loss. He’s not diabetic, but it’s in his family and he’s already had 4 weight loss surgeries bc he was so big. I myself am actually obese, and I wanted take this for a long time. Idk if I will but this gave me smth to think abt.
hi my brother was a bit overweight and he went to a dietitian, he lost lots of weight and he started gym and now he is so healthy. also one of my friend has some issues with insulin so she cant lose weight. maybe a professional can help you.
03:47 i love when you do these little wavy mannerisms - it would be such a cool contrast to see you in your "clean/natural" aesthetic while doing these sort of movements
I get that some people need to lose weight for help,reasons but just for aesthetic purposes is crazy. We need food for nutrients and fuel for our bodies. Folks doing this and depriving their bodies or nutrients just to look a certain way is crazy!
some people are missing the point. i keep seeing comments like, ”but zoe, you were showing us how to get skinny and now you’re against it??” she’s not against losing weight IF ITS HEALTHY. she’s informing us about the negative impacts of losing fat from non-natural ways LIKE DRUGS.
ive known this medication since a couple years because the father of a friend of mine uses this method since years, even thought he is not affected by diabetes. i really didnt expect it to make it to our culture hub tik tok and its so sad to see all these young and healthy people relying on literal drugs just to achieve a certain bodytype
People will do anything but exercise💀 They really need to watch the metabolism video of Zoe which says that you are actually losing muscles when you lose weight. When you lose the muscle it's actually short-term weight loss and you will gain it back but double. I personally have lost 6kg of fat and gained muscles. When I lost this fat while focusing on gaining muscles. My whole physique looked good, and my scale weight also went down.
Like as a teen I like my body overall my stomach just got a bit bigger and I'm just simply burning it off by working out like damn. Even if u don't wanna work out that much u can go on a healthy diet
It's not right that diabetic people don't get the life-saving drugs they need, but why aren't we talking about the fact that pharmaceutical companies are allowing prices to spike and it shouldn't be on the general public to make sure that life-saving meds are affordable. Companies could increase production and improve their drug so that people who have diabetes and health issues related to extreme weight gain can also use this drug for medical treatment. Just because some rich people want to use it in cases that aren't necessary, doesn't mean that using it to lose weight is always a bad thing. Losing weight is hard, and it's exponentially more difficult when you are already carrying excess weight that makes exercise painful. Why is obesity seen as something not worthy of being treated with medication? Why does weight loss have to be some admirable journey that you went on and struggled through when it can be done in a way that is less physically, mentally and emotionally painful? Edit: I do think that being helped to make better eating and exercise choices while on the drug could be the best solution for people who need to lose weight and hopefully be weaned off of it. But I don't think they should be disqualified from taking it just because they might need to continue taking it. It's not ideal, but if it can improve or even save your life, why does the excuse have to be oh, but the you have to take it forever.
The issue with treating obesity with a drug like this is that you can’t get off it. Learning to implement healthy life style choises is so important because it gives longevity with the weight loss achieved. Obviously for one’s health using a drug to help with weight loss and at the same time learning a new lifestyle might be the answer, but I think there is a problem with adhearance to said lifestyle when hunger hormones kick back in after stopping the drug. And then it’s nothing more than a fad diet that leads you to lose and gain weight over and over again. Nobody (except someone who these meds were developed for) should be on them for life.
@@nellivilhelmiina yes, simultaneous change in diet and lifestyle along with the drug sounds like an amazing idea, but if someone can't be weaned off the drug, I don't think that should be a deterrent. I don't think it's ideal for someone to be on mediation all their life, but if they have tried everything and this seems like the only option I think they should be allowed to go for it under the supervision of doctors and dieticians. My brother died because he couldn't lose weight despite trying all of his adult life. He was on antidepressants that made it impossible and if there was a drug that could have helped, I think he would have taken it. He was on antidepressants all his life to not die, I don't see how this would be that much different.
@@jjanon2371 we know long term effects of antidepressants, but not this sort of medication. Sadly morbid obesity and severe issues with over eating are linked with mental health issues, so losing weight would not guarantee help with other health problems. On the other hand losing weight is linked with better quality of life. Maybe some individuals would benefit from this sort of trial as you mentioned, then long term effects could be recorded as well. I’m sorry for your loss.
@@nellivilhelmiina You make a good point, and, I thank you for hearing my point as well. I definitely think that more should be done to discover the potential harm and good that these kinds of drugs could do for people. I don't think it's an accident that we don't often have programs that recommend the use of meds or appetite suppressants to help in conjunction with lifestyle changes. Just look at how companies are taking advantage of the spike in demand and rising price of Ozempic instead of manufacturing more so that people who will die without it can still get their treatment regularly and affordably. Of course, most medical professionals want their patients to get better, but too many people at the very top just want more money, so they don't care if people have to keep coming back for more meds, more diet advice etc. I think there is a lot of potential for medications to help yield better results in people that have to lose weight for their health while helping them establish better habits to wean them off of the meds as well. I don't have any issue with losing weight the hard traditional way and I still believe the majority of people should go this route. But I have a big issue with the judgement and stigma that comes when people try methods that are easier. Being called lazy or a cheat for trying to help yourself get a body that is easier to move, to clean, to clothe. No one judges a person for taking a pain killer to make a headache more bearable even though most headaches go away if you hydrate, sleep it off, or just grit your teeth through it, so it's frustrating to see fat people getting judged when they want to make their weight loss easier. Anyway, thanks for reading all these mini essays. 😅
I just clicked this video because I really forget to eat these days and have no appetite due to summer heat. It's gotten so bad I have to force myself to eat. It's kind of crazy there's the other end of spectrum that people take pills.
I’m overweight. It’s hard for me to lose weight, I can gain muscle easily, but losing fat is some thing my body does not like to do. I have such a slow metabolism, that I have to be in a extreme calorie deficit just a losing normal amount of weight. I’ve heard of Ozempic, but I refuse to take it. Why? Because my blood sugar markers are normal. Actually, they’re ideal. Why would I take a diabetes medication if I don’t have diabetes or pre-diabetes? I don’t think the effects of it as a weight loss drug have been studied on non-diabetics extensively, and I don’t feel like being a science experiment.
Hey! Have you checked your thyroid? It could be hypothyroidism like one of my closest friend. She was able to lose weight after using thyroid hormone supplements.
@@deleena4841 yeah I know, how unfortunate for me right? I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life though. Since childhood, so this is nothing new for me.
People need to remember that not only is being overweight unhealthy, but so is being UNDERweight. Hair loss, inability to maintain body heat, heart and skeletal issues, etc etc etc. Being underweight has its own slew of problems. So yeah, if you want to be skinny, it should absolutely be a byproduct of healthy lifestyle choices (not overeating, trying to exercise at least 30 minutes per day, making sure to get healthy foods into your system, etc.). If the only thing you’re doing is literally starving yourself (I know that dieting feels like that, but I mean actually skipping meals is starving yourself) to become skinny, you’re going to have all of those negative side effects rear their ugly head. It’s not worth it. And by the time you get down to that weight, the world will have moved on to a new body trend anyways. Why do y’all think the Kardashians have a new body every other week? They have the means to follow these trends. The average person doesn’t.
Please remember that NO trending body type is worth your health. Hope you're well 🤍🥑
Thank you for posting this. I just started this medication for my diabetes, so good to know the negative side effects. 😢😮
wuv u zoe❤
I absolutely hate having a big body 😭😭
im sorry but you say one thing but do another. your old videos are chalk full of trends of diets.. but you havent deleted theem or at least made a disclaimer and stopped moneytizing over them. teens can still see those toxic mindesets and follow them. i have unsubscribed due to this and many have also.
@@user-xv2lj2tx1b boo hoo
Came here because my mum is diabetic and has had problems to get her ozempic since it blew up…she is chronically ill and needs it and just because some random ppl are too lazy to work out they take away the Medicine of the ppl who REALLY need it to LIVE. People these days get more and more egoistic…..
Sad thing is they are not fully at fault either. Pharma took advantage of the "shortage" and raised the prices when they could've just incrase the production.
Some of the people have EDs too lmao
Especially the celebrities and richer individuals who literally have access to any food, any personal trainer or personal chef, and any plastic surgery they want and still choose to use it
@softyume
some people have to take it tho like my mom. She tried to loose weight for 10 years and dieted but nothing worked. she was pre diabetic too so this medicine was the thing that saved her.
not everybody is being lazy
I hope your mum got the medicine she needed eventually. I'm sure she deserves health, and so do you. Take care of your body, and don't use your mum's medicine to lose weight that you probably don't even need to lose in the first place (not assuming you would, just covering all the things)
My dad uses ozmepic for his diabetes and because of this “craze” he can’t get it bc there’s a shortage
Omg that's so sick. I hope the best for him
I’m sorry to hear 😞 it’s so frustrating that the “trend” is causing a shortage for those actually in need
That terrible
It’s for diabetes, why the hell would you use it for weight loss?
that’s terrible, hopefully he can get the meds he needs soon 💗
THAT'S awful 😢 Hope he will be okay and find some
As a German I can say we think the Americans are crazy because this drug is trending and also how badly it's controlled. I think it should be obvious that taking a drug as a regular person for weight loss isn't healthy.
as a German I can tell you dass Deutschland auch Pläne in die Richtung hat...
@@silvia-l4p7b die wollen den Wirkstoff auch zum Abnehmen hier auf den Markt bringen.
Wegovy ist jetzt gerade in Deutschland auf den Markt gekommen und ich bin mir sicher es wird seine Abnehmer (pun not originally intended aber lol) auch hier finden... :/
In the US, you can only buy medicine in supermarket (that anyone can buy) if that drug has been proven to have very few or very mild side effects. Do you have to get a prescription for Tylenol or aspirin there in Germany? For drugs like ozempic/wegovy, you absolutely have to have a prescription and they're only available from pharmacies.
@@silvia-l4p7bshe’s rich enough, i remember a real housewife reality star also did so despite not having diabetes. ozempic can be prescribed under a different name (like semaglutide) for non diabetics if a doctor believes it’s “safe” to use, which i’m assuming can only happen if they can afford to keep going to doctors until one prescribes it. they probably all see the same one. they find loopholes, because the american healthcare system is unfortunately that corrupt and easy to take advantage of with money.
I can't believe that actually sick people now have to pay a lot for it just because some folks thought skinny is trendy but they'd rather be lazy
this is so true
Exactly. Being skinny is a side effect/ byproduct of being healthy. If you workout and balance your meals with a healthy lifestyle, making sure you’re eating healthy non-processed foods most of the time and then occasionally treating yourself to treat foods that you like, then you will be happier, and as a byproduct, thinner. That’s just how it works. These people are just really lazy.
im just going the normal way cus like im a teen where am I gonna get my hands on this and plus the side effects like why won't people go the normal route (even tho im not going the safest route cus im literally starving myself but I don't want to take that unless if I actually needed it) plus yea other people need it
@@rainfall6805just want to say being overweight is not being “lazy.” My sister was bullied mercilessly in school because she gained so much weight but she was on drugs for her mental illness that she absolutely had to take. She got bullied so bad she stopped taking them and spiraled and I just hate how so many people judge others for being overweight or disabled and call them lazy when they have no idea what is going on with that person. Same with medications with side effects that make you eat a lot.
@@brizsquadalso please don’t starve yourself your body needs calories, fat, and other nutrients for energy and produce a healthy glow. Starving yourself actually makes you look sick and hurts your mental health and actually causes there to be way more bloating.
I’m in school for dietetics and can only imagine the effects of being on a drug like this long term for someone that doesn’t NEED it. There’s a lot of danger in this for the use of weight loss physically and presumably mentally if it isn’t needed, especially if it’s causing people to forget to eat.
Yeah, i can tell that.. as a biotechnology student i learned about diabetes and its molecular targets and this trend is awful for your body, there is another drug more gentle with your body but aint gonna tell
If you are aware of a better solution, then perhaps you may consider sharing it, here. It could REALLY help some people. I don’t know how folks are able to get this so easily. I gained 30 Lbs after having a baby and despite my efforts am not making progress. It’s difficult with a baby to prioritize like I should, I am not lazy, I have my moments, but am struggling with my weight and blood pressure as I had preclampsia. I am booked to see a doctor concerning my weight in September and am going to ask about this med to support my routine. Please consider sharing your alternative, as I would appreciate and would do due diligence. I am not trying to be skinny, just at a healthy weight for my body and to get off this BP medication, and being an active and balanced mom. Thanks for considering and best of luck on your studies!
@@VansfanmailI am not a medical professional, just a general health & fitness nerd, but my first thought upon reading your post was: Have you had a full blood panel done recently, particularly looking at hormone levels? I'm particularly curious about thyroid levels because there's a type of thyroid information that is not uncommon in women after childbirth that's worth ruling out before making any other kinds of changes. That's just one specific example of a variety of things I would think they'd want to look for. I'm often surprised by how frequently doctors seem to shrug off health issues after pregnancy. One of my colleagues was an avid runner before pregnancy, but she couldn't run for years after childbirth because of how bad her hips would hurt. She took up pole dancing instead and loved it, so I'm happy for her that she found that, but I'm personally outraged that her doctor wouldn't have referred her to physio to get checked out because, you know, the ability to move your legs properly without pain is kind of important, and whether one has had a baby or not should be no reason for a doctor to dismiss pain and disability, imo.
Yes. This video didn’t mention it, but suicidal rates from taking this drug are going up, as well as depression. Forcing your body to stop eating and basically entering a delirium of not understanding your bodies’ needs can and will lead you to unhappiness and depression.
@@Ad1nfernum hi, thanks for replying to my comment. I was already diagnosed with hypothyroidism prior to pregnancy.
I see female doctors just for this purpose of understanding but I often feel a disconnect anyways, and that I am just another patient of the medical industrial complex.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend. I’ve had to advocate a whole bunch and do research and recommend my own course of treatment often or keep pushing conversations. I’ve had to take my own action and wish that I could see a holistic doctor. But I need to use my insurance for visits and that keeps me going to what’s available and covered under my plan. I’m glad to hear your friend found a practice that helps her. Pole dancing can help a person in many ways, I’ve tried it before, SUPER rigorous.
Also, I’ve gotten panels done but no one ever explains them. There’s so many gaps in healthcare but everything is temporary and we must push forward.
I guess I’m just saddened by the gate keeping that happens. This is just another example of using and abusing our “natural” resources, just on another level/dimension.
I work in a pharmacy, and the amount of people asking for it without being in need is shocking.
Worst thing is that the companies that produce Ozempic were on a shortage because of the amount of people that take it without diabetes, and the people that actually had it (mostly old people) would come and cry, because they were afraid to die.
That's so horrible oh my God
Omg :(
this is so sad,i feel so bad for those people :(
i have a question,i’m overweight and i’m 14..i really want to lose weight but i keep craving sugar like chocolate and candy what should i do? i don’t eat much since i get full very easily but i cant stop craving sugar
@@Ant1quedoll ua-cam.com/video/Wcs2PFz5q6g/v-deo.html
Long story short, every time you eat sugary foods, immediately do something healthy - it will make these two actions a single one for your brain. Some time will pass and it will become easier to recognise when you fall for a bad habit and stop. Cravings will be less and less loud in your head but it will take some time
I’ve recently gotten to know a woman who needs the drug because of medical complications who is currently suffering due to widespread shortages. She can’t live a normal life because the medicine *she is literally dependent on* because of *real medical issues* is being prescribed for vanity’s sake. I think that’s just messed up
People just don't accept that to lose weight you need to be healthier, not to take drugs.
Also you can still enjoy unhealthy foods like mcdonalds or chocolate or something, just in moderation. A diet only consisting of salad isn’t good either! Everything in moderation, that’s what people need to learn.. to find balance.
size does not equal health! Fat people have always existed and will always exist.

Girlies trust me, you don't want to forget to eat. It happens to me a lot since i was a kid and i often fear becoming physically ill because of that, eating suddenly will becomes a chore and trust me its exausting
Not to mention the public fainting spells 😰
Right I forget to eat and then my throat hurts and it’s hard to keep food down when I *do* eat. I live such an active lifestyle and that helps me prioritize eating to combat this.
Bruh same I have adhd and I forget to eat and it’s awful
I'm not trying to shame anyone in the comments section but I have hard time grasping how it's possible to forget to eat because I'm used to my body sending the signals: the que of hunger or hunger pains. It's possible that rather "forgetting" to eat your bodies are not receiving that signal of hunger..... Because if you're receiving those signals loud and clear, like most people, it's not a matter of "forgot" to eat but you suppressing your appetite to do x,y,z tasks bc you're busy with something. In any case if it's not a symptom of an ADHD (which is understandable) it's better not to suppress your appetite and hunger ques just to get work done just bc you live in an environment where there's not enough time or breaks to eat.
@@thethe4665Where do yours happen? My first (and so far only faint) was at a laundromat but I was already sitting so I didn't hit my head on anything. Got lucky. Hopefully you get lucky too.

some people can't loose weight!!!
and not everyone is lazy!!
my mom worked out so much for almost 10 years trying to be healthier but she lost nothing, she was pre diabetic and the medicne was the thing that helped her
Using ozempic as a weight loss drug not only has severe consequences on those who take it but especially on diabetic patients. In fact, lots of patients are facing difficulties in finding doses of ozempic - a drug that they NEED in order to LIVE - due to the high demand from people who don't need it but still use it for "cosmetic" purposes. Therefore, that's not only dangerous for one's own health but also extremely selfish to do as they are putting other people's lives at stake.
Tiktok is so toxic, my mom wouldnt let me have it when i asked a few years ago, and now that I'm older, I'm so glad i don't have it. I'm probably the only one in my class without it 😂
Sidenote: Your channel helped me so much! Mentally and physically. I learned more from you than my bio class lol. Thank you so much Zoe!! 🖤
I applaud you for not caving into the tik tok lifestyle! Don't let anyone discourage you or make you feel bad for not having it. You are doing AMAZING and as time moves forward, you will 100% understand all the bullets you have dodged. I used to spend like 15 hours a week on tik tok, and while it was entertaining in the short term, in the long term it wore me down. You don't even realise the effect it has on you until it's too late. I (finally) deleted it a couple months ago, and AHHHHH best decision in a while. My entire quality of life has improved so much.
Stay strong, stranger
The fact this is an actual medication that some people need to survive and live a good life with diabetes is terrible. Those people who use it to lose weight when they can still technically do other things (work out, eat healthier...) to do so, are stealing medication from people who actually need them. I really hope this trend somehow dies out because it's bad for the user since they can have nausea and stuff, but it's even worse for those who genuinely need this.
but for some people working out and dieting does nothing...some ppl need the medicine to not become diabetic
@@macywebster1434 Finally someone got it, I am advanced IR and yes technically spea,ing not diabetic....yet. I am on it and in a year my IR disappeared, It eliminated my drinking and smoking which means I am low on neurotransmitters. Dont😅 give a damn what random creatures are thinking about me, I am on it for life.
Im just starting med school. I remember thinking in metabolism lessons "Couldn't we mess up with these hormones to make a magic pill?". I knew there had to be reasons why people didn't do it because if it was possible it'd have been done already, but I wanted to know what exactly would go wrong. OMG. SO MANY DISASTROUS THINGS JUST FOR ONE THING GOING OUT OF PLACE (biochem still scares me till this day with the insuline route and the things its connected to). And thought "Ah so that's why they don't do that." And suddenly people are taking type 2 diabetes treatment and I'm like "Please don't."
Metabolism*
One hormone out of place causes issues. So imagine a lifetime of cross s€x hormones for trans or birth control pills that prevent certain hormones in the brain being released. I think certain medicines need to be rethought.

@@tinavavlas4491I dont think thats the case Zoe talks about not having to follow societies beauty standards whether it to be too obese or too skinny but also acknowledges that someone can want to improve their body for many reasons such as health or just to feel better.Im 18 years old and im 68 kgs which isnt much and is in the healthy range of bmi but i do work out and do intermittent fasting.I would be lying if i said that i do this for only health reasons but i do it because I think i feel better at around 60 kg not because of beauty standards or anything but just personally.Everyone on this plannet has their ideal body type they like including Zoe.People need to realise that people can want to change their bodies without hating their bodies.I accept my body at 68 and at 60 or even more but should that stop me from bettering myself
but being 80kgs at 13 is crazy, you can be either 600lbs at 25 or change your lifestyle
How I wish there were pills for kindness, sincerity, honesty and empathy. But unfortunately, people continue to go crazy over their appearance, thinking it will make them happy
I searched this drug in some very popular china apps, and a lot of girls, e.g. 163cm tall, 50kg，are using this drug, hoping to lose weight, i mean, this is crazy!!!! they are not even fat at all, they are actually thin like hell. and they hope to lose more weight by using this drug. OMG!!!!
I first heard about this in Korean true crime podcast on spotify and those pills had horrifying aftereffects on people. The episode is called 'the butterfly pill' for the ppl interested in knowing more.
This whole situation pisses me off because it just takes resources from actual people who are type two diabetics (aka, me) My doctor literally mentioned it a few months ago that there's a shortage/going to be a shortage of ozempic because people who it isn't meant for are taking it instead. She couldn't even prescribe ozempic to me because of the small amount of ozempic that's been circulating around is being funneled to celebrities who simply want to lose a few pounds instead of people it'd actually help. I am SICK of celebrities taking and bastardizing medications that aren't meant for them and taking away resources from people who actually need it.
I’m so sorry you’re going threw that, hopefully people who are taking that specific medication won’t last that long 🤎✨
Celebrities are supposed teach youngsters and others the right way since they’re the most heard, it’s also up to the people themselves, people in the industry and outside of the industry is a disaster. Soon things will be taken care of, so you won’t have to see the suffer or go threw it any longer, hope god answers you’re prayers to those who abuse it, you’ll be back on track with that medication you need Very soon hopefully 🤎
pre-diabetic people need it too yk, bc for some people dieting and working out doesn't work
making myself a good meal while watching this because i deserve to eat without shame. sometimes i feel immense guilt eating simple things like pasta or bread but I am trying to LEAVE THAT GUILT BEHIND
I feel so bad, I was at a healthy lower weight, now I'm slighty overweight and I just cannot accept myself. The hate is growing again. When I was skinny I was in love with myself, my body (for the first time in my life!), I could eat what I want but since I went to therapy I gained so much weight, couldn't do my workouts properly and now everything is f****d up... I wish there were easy ways to lose weight, I know some but they come with an unhealthy, big price I don't want to pay no more. I'm so sick of our society and my own bodyimage.
Please focus on all your other beautiful qualities. Don’t concentrate on your weight.. it’s normal for it to fluctuate. It’s to be expected. So, shift your focus on hobbies and your mental health :)
I loved myself more when I finally gave the middle finger to society It's okay to gain some weight. A few months back, bile sludge was attacking my health which cause me to lose weight in months. I could see my ribs and weigh less than 150 pounds in years. A natural remedy helped me which made me gain weight, but my face changed. Bucal fat appeared on my cheeks again and ribs show less. **As a welder, it is possible for me to lose weight again.
Lmao. It’s not society’s fault you don’t want to stop eating more than you need to. Calories in, calories out. It’s pretty simple.
it’s genuinely so awful that people are unable to get the meds they need because of a trend, if you’re struggling to get what you need, i am so sorry and i hope this issue can be resolved for you soon 💗💗
I wasn't on Ozempic, but I was on Adipex. I managed to go from 200 pounds down to 139. I immediately gained back 6 pounds, but have been able to keep the rest of the weight off ever since. My cousin is a doctor and does not prescribe Ozempic often, due to its side effects. She also said that generics for Ozempic are not approved by the FDA. They can be dangerous.
other side effects also includes lost of lean tissue (muscle) and the thinning of the bone. This is why they report "weight-loss" and not "fat-loss" when showing the results, so the results can appear more effective. Yes, a higher percentage of fat is being lost, but there is a good percentage of lean metabolic tissue and some bone being lost, accounting for the total "weight-loss."
sheeeeesh, bone thinning? That's actually very serious, woah
@@funfings842 yeah, this is why we have to be careful with interpreting wording when deciding to take something.
@@funfings842 especially from ads
I think people are gaining more weight AFTER stopping it because they suppressed their hunger/fullness cues. So once you're off, you don't know where to stop and eat everything from the pantry (it makes me think of BED recovery and working on those cues).
It's just my point of view from someone who is currently recovering from different ED and does a lot of research about intuitive eating
I really thought that as a society we made so much progress around body positivity and health, it’s so disappointing to have a trend around a fricking drug praised for making you nauseous and allowing you to starve yourself more easily…
Right like what happened to body positivity. Idk especially recently alot of progress for women have been down grading like it been a rise since Andrew Tate and Pager U of guys being against feminism and now in 2023 if ur a feminist it's almost a bad thing. Like what happened I thought us girls was going foward
we never made any progress, it was all an illusion to sell or something. skinny was still the beauty standard worldwide and the trends of bbl and big bodies, were never that big… just tick and hot
it feels like we're going backwards, hell i even see people praising eating disorders more
You know what else could suppress your sense of hunger? Depression. And after living through it I don’t understand why people want to not want to eat…
I had to remind myself to eat so I don’t starve myself to death for more than 7 YEARS!!! It was a nightmare!!! When I started taking antidepressants and felt hungry for the first time on my memory, I literally cried while consuming this meal that came down from heaven. It was just pasta with tomatoes, sausages, and eggs. But still it was the best thing I had in years because I was naturally hungry and this hot meal satisfied me.
But depression can also make you crave food as a coping mechanism, too. For me, food makes me happy so when I’m depressed I like to eat. I’m even on an antidepressant known to decrease appetite and topirimate and an opiate and still I have a very healthy appetite! I try to only eat 1,000- 1,200 calories per day and get very frustrated if I go over that :/
@@GS-ww1juyou need more than 1200 to be healthy babes, don't feel guilty, I'm rooting 4 u
i’m pretty sure i’ve seen HELLA ozempic ads and i’m pretty sure they always say, “ozempic is NOT a weight loss medication, though you may lose weight” like…y’all will really do ANYTHING to fit a stupid standard. but i don’t blame them, i blame those who have set the standard
I remember when I was younger I always saw ozempic ads while watching Disney channel 😭😭😭
This ‘skinny at all cost’ mindset being promoted is disastrous on so many levels. I don’t really know how to express it but I’m just shocked after your video. This idea that a drug is being promoted in order to get ‘healthy’ while at the same time the people truly needing this product (which is not a drug but a medicine for them) can’t afford it to survive is really horrible.
I’m just happy to be far from this world. Maybe it’s in my imagination but coming from France it doesn’t seem like this issue is also growing in our country. We don’t have an equivalent to Hollywood where all the famous, rich etc. etc. people get together and do the same things like it seems to happen sometime in the US (I know it’s probably not what really happens but I hope you understand my point).
Also I think I'm happy that we have health care here and a decent system that protect our health. Merci la SECU, tu sauves de ouf
Never forget, your health should not be subject to a trend
Avec amour
What horrifies me most about this is that actual sick people cant access this drug they need to LIVE because of selfish people misusing this drug. My mother has diabetes and she doesn't use this drug but I know of people that do and struggle to find it when they actually NEED it.
Undereating, even if you don't notice it "thanks to a new drug", is damaging in so many ways, and slows down your metabolism a lot, as the body tries to hold onto anything it currently has.
I kind of get all of the comments saying that the people taking ozempic are selfish for taking it because it is causing a shortage, and people they know are having a hard time getting it because of it.
But I think there are a lot more reasons to blame the pharmaceutical industry, the health care system, and even the doctors that prescribe it.
I see so many comments in other videos about obese people, obese creators, and stuff like that, in which they get criticized a lot because of them not losing weight, because they are not "taking care of their health", because they are "lazy". I lost a lot of weight recently, and I can assure you, sometimes, for some people, it's so fucking hard. For me, it was.
I felt so pressured to lose weight from friends, family, and beuty standards around me.
Also, side effects from ozempic sound awful. People are using it because they really, really want to lose weight.
I don't know, if you read this whole thing, I would just want you to really put yourself in other people's shoes and be more empathetic, because from my perspective, obese people just cannot win.
I agree! Why are doctors not held accountable for this irresponsible and dangerous- for both those who need it and can’t get, and those that are abusing it for visible hipbones- prescribing?? I don’t live in America and the health system is different here, so my understanding is v patchy, but it seems pretty clear that doctors are failing the first point of the Hippocratic (pretty sure I failed that spelling) oath. It’s just so fucked, people wanting to be skinny is not new, and neither is taking pills to get there - amphetamines anyone? - but doctors and the pharmaceutical companies are ultimately responsible here for selling medicine to people that don’t need it and leaving vulnerable people without it. Just like everything else; it’s all about the Benjamins
that and the societal standards expecting all women to look a certain way
I want to be skinnier. I sereously want to be skinnier, even tho I have a normal weight (My BMI is 20 or so) But I need to make changes in my diet, make portion control, go to the gym, make home workouts. It won't be easy, but it will be fully on me, and That's wonderfull.
Rooting for you!
i used to take and ADHD medication called ViVance (im not sure of the full name) and one of the side effects was not being hungry and always being full. i was a very insecure kid and was about 60kg at 10 years old. i was on it for about 3 years and i now weigh 42kg which is under the healthy average for a 13 year old. also because of the lack of food i was tired and just felt awful all the time and because of this medication its become a habit for me to not eat anything at school and only eat at home. im doing a bit better now but these kinds of medications have long lasting effects and people need to be more carful and sparing it for the people who need it!!
The latest study on this drug is,"bone loss",and if this not scare the h....out of you,i dont think anything will😓This has gone to far....,and i will rather have some extra kilo on me than breaking my arms and legs🙄
so glad i went thru that anorexia shit and survived because that shit changed my entire perspective id rather look lean instead of having a boney body that is skin and bones looking dead af not actually living 💀 never againnnnnn take care yall
I'm addicted to your commentary videos😂
As someone who already suffer from this symptoms without the drug, as i'm severely underweight, forget to eat, no appetites, feels nauseous and about to throw up when i eat, Which makes eating no different from a chore.
It's really crazy to me how ppl chose pain instead of health.
I often reflect on the no social media days when people weren’t oversharing and influencing people to do stuff like this
I struggle with an eating disorder, and I was so shocked seeing this drug becoming a craze, as I know that I often 'forget' to eat and know the struggles that those underweight face. This drug is so horrifying to me, as I know that living and eating well is truly the only good way to lose weight and feel better about yourself. This reminds me of the laxative trend from years ago, and I think that this is so dangerous, and americans should not be able to have free range on this product.
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I blame youtubers and social media influencers (especially those who gain a lot of followers on their weight loss and diet videos 😉) who are hyping up and making ozempic trending and more and more popular.
and the companies that exploit the unrealistic beauty standards for money
People are always trying to find a quick fix
I am glad to see people discuss this in more layers.
I personally am really annoyed by how obesity is viewed and treated. People act like the only reason why anyone is fat is because they eat too much, they dont consider how many drugs can affect the metabolism not only the appetite, and how the metabolism is far from scientifically understood. We do NOT understand how exactly our bodies metabolize. I know people scream that we do, but we do not. There are plenty of people who eat a ton and dont gain a pound (for better or worse), people who barely look at food and gain weight, people who live unhealthy but dont get sick, and people who live healthy and get sick. The research into these matters isnt popular or encouraged.
Why would it be? Selling us diet pills, diet programs and coaching programs and then blaming obese people for any illness so that insurance can save money is way more profitable aint it?
Thats why from day 1 im mad at the enthusiasm people have over ozempic.
I know people who eat too much and in 99% of the cases its a mental issue, result of years of trauma and eating disorders. Someting you should absolutely treat with more than a pill. Its great to help people deal with hunger and appetite, while teaching them healthy ways of feeding themselves. But if you dont get people back to baselevel what are we doing here?
If medication increases appetite, and ozempic would help normalize it, then thats a good thing. But is that whats happening?
If someone has diabetes, and this medication helps them, great.
But i just want people to understand that not everyone who is obese eats a lot, not everyone who struggles with weight has diabetes.
Im not the only person, but i can only speak for myself:
Years of anorexia have brought my metabolism to nearly a halt. I seem to have all kinds of issues, like thyroid issues, slow metabolism, im freezing, my iron is low, my inflammation high.
I gained a lot of weight, and it was always blamed on me as a person. I got diagnosed with anorexia and yet you know what the only help is that im offered? Gastric bypass and medication like ozempic. Why? Please ask yourself why. Insurance companies wont cover anything else, and doctors follow guidelines by offering only these two options to me. But i think everyone with some sanity in their mind will see the issue with this.
Im already malnutrioned, i struggled with zero appetite for years and after many years of therapy i can proudly say i have finally felt hunger and a desire to eat. Why would a person like me profit from ozempic? I probably wouldnt lose any weight, because i already dont eat a lot, nor have high glucose or insulin levels. I need to take suppliments to upkeep my nutrition - so why would you force me to a lifetime of malnutrition by reducing my stomach size?
People who are skinny or normal weight dont know what they are fucking with. They are inducing eating disorders upon themselves only for the currently popular body standard. I been there, and i hate that this is promoted as a medically healthy new step.
The fatbias must stop! Thats what we need, and proper research.
I lost a lot of weight as a side effect of my medication (I will not tell you what I take), and let me tell you, it is no fun at all. I'm a dancer and do a lot of weight training. At some point, I was eating so little because I felt nauseous all the time that my muscles hurt way too fast if I tried to use them, and I was constantly out of breath. I felt like I couldn't maintain my job as a dance teacher nor my job as a barista.
At that point, I turned to calorie counting, and for the first time in my life, it was not to lose weight but to make sure I would be eating enough.
Listen, being skinny might be what society says is pretty, but not making it through your day, not being able to focus, losing your hair, or whatever because of nutrient deficiency is not worth it. Not to forget, fat does not simply sit on your body keeping you warm. It plays a big role in your hormone balance. Having low body fat can make you lose your period for a reason. (and that`s just the tip of the Iceberg)
Can we all just agree that there are so many better ways to spend our time on Earth than to think about our looks? Learn a new language, an instrument, study for your exams, meet your friends, move your body, just live a little.
It’s sick people that are lazy to work for something by taking drugs to get while there are people who actually are diabetic that need it
This the same chick that was showing us how to "slim our legs"???
at least its not drugs that could seriously have dangerous side effects if you dont need em
Just because she made a video of how to slim your legs (which isn't a bad goal) doesn't devalue the fact that people don't want to put in the effort to be healthy by taking a drug diabetic people ACTUALLY need.@@peukaby
The content and comments are good, but looking at you is even greater!
As someone who suffers from low blood sugar on a regular basis, I can only imagine how much havoc a drug like this could cause…
This is so scary, the amount of people that put their health on risk js to be thinner is insane, and it’s bad for the people that actually have diabetes that need it cuz others that don’t are using it for their own benefit
It makes sense that you would gain more after stopping, you are basically starving yourself when on it and then when you gain the appetite back your body will want you to eat more/the body will hold onto fat as energy stores just in case the "starvation" happens again...
There are no shortcuts people
I noticed that one clip of a tik tok you posted the girl said that O made her want to take her life and I've heard the same from some other youtubers! It can cause horrific mental health symptpms! So if you're considering taking it please be careful and on high alert, especially if you already have mental health struggles and perhaps consider not taking it at all! Just a concerned therapist here trying to help!💚
was thinking about getting on it bc i’m borderline pre-diabetic but this is the only thing that’s actually scared me enough to kinda change my mind :/
@@kendra555 Aw for sure! Aw ya just be super careful and in close contact with your doctor (and therapist if you have one) about how you’re feeling!💜
and your next video will be "how I eat whatever I want but stay skinny 💗"
My dad actually works for Ozempic doing sales and complains about this all the time because now the doctors don’t want to prescribe it, which not only loses the company a lot of money (therefore it’s employees), but also ends up hurting real diabetics. And for what? A romanticized ED? So fucked.
My dad has serious type 2 diabetes and even in Poland, despite his neat salary, he gotta pay almost 1000 zloty (~$250) which is a lot for one box of meds in Poland. He even has to travel to different areas of the country to get his meds WITH A PRESCRIPTION FROM A DIABETOLOGIST, because none of the pharmacies in my 100k people city has it in stock. The state doesn't provide any refunds on it. Basically hunting for Ozempic has become his monthly habit during business trips. He started taking it when prices were around 250 zloty (~$60) and it was a rather high, yet acceptable price for such drug in Poland. Why does it happen, even outside the US? Because even in Europe and my shithole country, people prefer to vomit and have their guts broken cuz one "proper" body type is "acceptable".
1000 zloty for one box on a polish salary is fucking insane. This is dystopian.
You should talk about the adderall shortages, I routinely have to go without because pharmacies keep running out. People also will use this drug for weight loss.
Just by the title of the video I’m so interested I never heard of this case so happy to be gable to ear about this by you😊☺️☺️
Ok so I'd never heard of this, but as a type 1 diabetic (quite different from type 2) and a European, I am beyond shocked. Wth people??
My dad has diabetes, he doesn't take Ozemptic but I think he takes one that you showed and I don't really know about medical stuff, but I bet there's a shortage in all brands.
Forgetting to eat is very unhealthy. I never took no pills but my appetite was always small and it had times I went days without eating without realizing. When you do eat you get nauseous you have no energy and many more side effects I was in and out of the hospital and the fact that the people who actually need this can't even get it is so sad. I had a grandfather who had diabetes and he had to use this drug or wtv it is also he passed away but it's so sad that this is happening to those who need it because people are too lazy to put in the work smh. I have given up on humanity a long time ago and they just prove my point over and over
i don't know if it's about not knowing enough about the topic or simply being too aware of life that i genuinly do not understand how being ''skinny'' or ''fat'' is that serious. Like who started this?? why is everyone agreeing?? society is so weird to me, let's everyone just figure out how to live a balanced lifestyle challenge
LOVE THIS COMMENT !!!
It's all about being healthy
plus, it makes total sense that there would be long term health effects from taking it. it's still less damaging than actual diabetes, with the nerve damage, the amputations etc.
but dang... people are crazy. they have a perfectly good body (no diabetes) and they're willing to risk damaging their health and metabolism PERMANENTLY for weight loss ?
Zoe you’re my favorite youtuber.
I have high metabolism and its truly a haven to eat as much as i want and stay skinny, still everyone is truly beautiful for the way you are skinny or not please take care of your body. :]
So did you just want to flex that you’re naturally skinny or..?
@@hell_ohh oh no not at all ive had similar experiences on truly hating my body and even starving myself for months..Skinny or not we all have struggled with our body, judging ourselves and comparing ourselves to others..its truly sad and i just want people to be happy with their bodies and not make the same mistakes i have done.
longer vids pls! this one was great. thanks for covering this topic
i've been on ozempic, and to be honest, most of these people that use it for weight loss have had trouble dieting in general. i was already dieting and restricting before ozempic, and after it i maintained the weight loss AND managed to lose even more just in an organic slower way. it's just a lack of self discipline that's making these people gain it all back.
Still you shouldn't use it since y'all gotta realize you're taking supplies from people who actually NEEDS it.
@@AUGHHHHHBBG i have diabetes and i'm overweight bruv
such an important video, thanks for making it!
As a woman that has been struggling with anorexia for the past six years (and having a lot of family members that struggle with the same disorder) I can assure you that trying to lose weight whilst ingesting enormous amounts of food is not possible without ruining your system.
Showing this type of behavior to an audience made up of mostly young girls and boys is really dangerous.
Eating disorders tend to appear when you are at a young age (let's say 12 to 14 years old) and if you are an impressionable teen and have this type of videos shown up to you 24/7, it's pretty logical to end up having some problems with your eating habits.
Also, I want to say that for us people living in third world countries it's pretty crazy that whilst Americans do not have access to free healthcare they are taking the drugs that are used for people who have serious health issues. Tiktok and the platforms that have this type of content should be banned or have stricter regulations regarding these themes.
I honestly feel the struggle with being skinny and wanting to be so, for some reason I’m convinced that everything in my life would get better if I was skinny
imagine having a healthy body and choosing to inject yourself with drugs that some ppl need to stay alive..insane
Very interesting representation of this « trend »! You always have such good topics! Thank you for your time!
TikTok is an absolute dumpster fire 🔥
Hey zoe, I was wondering if u could make a dieting/fitness video on how to stay lean and fit during the menstural cycle? Like how do you workout and eat without giving into the period hormonal cravings?
the saddest thing about this is that most people still wont take the video into consideration, all WE hear and actually want is skinny (est)
My sister uses ozyembic for her insulin problems and insurance won’t even cover it because they think it’s for weight loss
There needs to be a rule or a law made that this drug should only be taken by diabetic patients and not others
My epilepsy medication boosts your metabolism so you may loose a little weight but you eat, eat, eat! I get so hungry I can’t even stand up. I can’t imagine if I could t get it to function in my daily life. Medical care is crumbling everywhere, it’s horrifying.
Woah, I am so HAPPY I quit social media like tiktok.
i feel like people can just use other appetite suppressants that aren’t medicine needed by diabetics. it’s already unhealthy, so why not just stick to one’s people don’t need?
People wanna forget to eat? Just try depression 😂
We made are food so tasty, addictive and unhealthy that we need drugs just to ensure is we don't eat too much of it T_T
What scares me about Ozempic is that when we give a body with normal level of whatever substance or hormone, that body quits producing the substance. So once the medication is quit, it's basically a mess
I feel so bad for those people who are actually sick and who actually need to take Ozempic but can't because there's either a shortage or the price is simply too high. Like there are healthy ways of losing weight, working out and eating healty would do you more good in the long term than taking a drug
4:50 „our culture hub tik tok.“ lmao 😭
The skinny craze is back y’all hold on tight lmao 💀
I'll admit that for most of my life, I was one of those annoying people that could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound. But, I was also an extremely active athlete, but it really is just genetics.

My dad uses ozempik but not entirely for weight loss. He’s not diabetic, but it’s in his family and he’s already had 4 weight loss surgeries bc he was so big. I myself am actually obese, and I wanted take this for a long time. Idk if I will but this gave me smth to think abt.
hi my brother was a bit overweight and he went to a dietitian, he lost lots of weight and he started gym and now he is so healthy. also one of my friend has some issues with insulin so she cant lose weight. maybe a professional can help you.
03:47 i love when you do these little wavy mannerisms - it would be such a cool contrast to see you in your "clean/natural" aesthetic while doing these sort of movements
I get that some people need to lose weight for help,reasons but just for aesthetic purposes is crazy. We need food for nutrients and fuel for our bodies. Folks doing this and depriving their bodies or nutrients just to look a certain way is crazy!
some people are missing the point. i keep seeing comments like, ”but zoe, you were showing us how to get skinny and now you’re against it??” she’s not against losing weight IF ITS HEALTHY. she’s informing us about the negative impacts of losing fat from non-natural ways LIKE DRUGS.
ive known this medication since a couple years because the father of a friend of mine uses this method since years, even thought he is not affected by diabetes. i really didnt expect it to make it to our culture hub tik tok and its so sad to see all these young and healthy people relying on literal drugs just to achieve a certain bodytype
People will do anything but exercise💀 They really need to watch the metabolism video of Zoe which says that you are actually losing muscles when you lose weight. When you lose the muscle it's actually short-term weight loss and you will gain it back but double. I personally have lost 6kg of fat and gained muscles. When I lost this fat while focusing on gaining muscles. My whole physique looked good, and my scale weight also went down.
Like as a teen I like my body overall my stomach just got a bit bigger and I'm just simply burning it off by working out like damn. Even if u don't wanna work out that much u can go on a healthy diet
It's not right that diabetic people don't get the life-saving drugs they need, but why aren't we talking about the fact that pharmaceutical companies are allowing prices to spike and it shouldn't be on the general public to make sure that life-saving meds are affordable. Companies could increase production and improve their drug so that people who have diabetes and health issues related to extreme weight gain can also use this drug for medical treatment. Just because some rich people want to use it in cases that aren't necessary, doesn't mean that using it to lose weight is always a bad thing. Losing weight is hard, and it's exponentially more difficult when you are already carrying excess weight that makes exercise painful. Why is obesity seen as something not worthy of being treated with medication? Why does weight loss have to be some admirable journey that you went on and struggled through when it can be done in a way that is less physically, mentally and emotionally painful? Edit: I do think that being helped to make better eating and exercise choices while on the drug could be the best solution for people who need to lose weight and hopefully be weaned off of it. But I don't think they should be disqualified from taking it just because they might need to continue taking it. It's not ideal, but if it can improve or even save your life, why does the excuse have to be oh, but the you have to take it forever.
The issue with treating obesity with a drug like this is that you can’t get off it. Learning to implement healthy life style choises is so important because it gives longevity with the weight loss achieved. Obviously for one’s health using a drug to help with weight loss and at the same time learning a new lifestyle might be the answer, but I think there is a problem with adhearance to said lifestyle when hunger hormones kick back in after stopping the drug. And then it’s nothing more than a fad diet that leads you to lose and gain weight over and over again. Nobody (except someone who these meds were developed for) should be on them for life.
@@nellivilhelmiina yes, simultaneous change in diet and lifestyle along with the drug sounds like an amazing idea, but if someone can't be weaned off the drug, I don't think that should be a deterrent. I don't think it's ideal for someone to be on mediation all their life, but if they have tried everything and this seems like the only option I think they should be allowed to go for it under the supervision of doctors and dieticians.
My brother died because he couldn't lose weight despite trying all of his adult life. He was on antidepressants that made it impossible and if there was a drug that could have helped, I think he would have taken it. He was on antidepressants all his life to not die, I don't see how this would be that much different.
@@jjanon2371 we know long term effects of antidepressants, but not this sort of medication. Sadly morbid obesity and severe issues with over eating are linked with mental health issues, so losing weight would not guarantee help with other health problems. On the other hand losing weight is linked with better quality of life. Maybe some individuals would benefit from this sort of trial as you mentioned, then long term effects could be recorded as well. I’m sorry for your loss.
@@nellivilhelmiina You make a good point, and, I thank you for hearing my point as well. I definitely think that more should be done to discover the potential harm and good that these kinds of drugs could do for people. I don't think it's an accident that we don't often have programs that recommend the use of meds or appetite suppressants to help in conjunction with lifestyle changes. Just look at how companies are taking advantage of the spike in demand and rising price of Ozempic instead of manufacturing more so that people who will die without it can still get their treatment regularly and affordably. Of course, most medical professionals want their patients to get better, but too many people at the very top just want more money, so they don't care if people have to keep coming back for more meds, more diet advice etc.
I think there is a lot of potential for medications to help yield better results in people that have to lose weight for their health while helping them establish better habits to wean them off of the meds as well. I don't have any issue with losing weight the hard traditional way and I still believe the majority of people should go this route. But I have a big issue with the judgement and stigma that comes when people try methods that are easier. Being called lazy or a cheat for trying to help yourself get a body that is easier to move, to clean, to clothe. No one judges a person for taking a pain killer to make a headache more bearable even though most headaches go away if you hydrate, sleep it off, or just grit your teeth through it, so it's frustrating to see fat people getting judged when they want to make their weight loss easier. Anyway, thanks for reading all these mini essays. 😅
I just clicked this video because I really forget to eat these days and have no appetite due to summer heat. It's gotten so bad I have to force myself to eat. It's kind of crazy there's the other end of spectrum that people take pills.
omg i didnt even realize this came out minutes ago lmao
It’s almost like you have to make lasting life long changes 🙇🏽♀️
I’m overweight. It’s hard for me to lose weight, I can gain muscle easily, but losing fat is some thing my body does not like to do. I have such a slow metabolism, that I have to be in a extreme calorie deficit just a losing normal amount of weight. I’ve heard of Ozempic, but I refuse to take it. Why? Because my blood sugar markers are normal. Actually, they’re ideal. Why would I take a diabetes medication if I don’t have diabetes or pre-diabetes? I don’t think the effects of it as a weight loss drug have been studied on non-diabetics extensively, and I don’t feel like being a science experiment.
Hey! Have you checked your thyroid? It could be hypothyroidism like one of my closest friend. She was able to lose weight after using thyroid hormone supplements.
@@deleena4841 my thyroid function is normal, closer to the overactive side tbh
@@AribellaAC I see, normally people with overactive thyroid have a faster metabolism than normal.
@@deleena4841 yeah I know, how unfortunate for me right? I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life though. Since childhood, so this is nothing new for me.
"You forget to EAT" that's just ADHD
This makes me feel so uncomfortable. What about the people who actually NEED the medication?
People need to remember that not only is being overweight unhealthy, but so is being UNDERweight. Hair loss, inability to maintain body heat, heart and skeletal issues, etc etc etc. Being underweight has its own slew of problems. So yeah, if you want to be skinny, it should absolutely be a byproduct of healthy lifestyle choices (not overeating, trying to exercise at least 30 minutes per day, making sure to get healthy foods into your system, etc.). If the only thing you’re doing is literally starving yourself (I know that dieting feels like that, but I mean actually skipping meals is starving yourself) to become skinny, you’re going to have all of those negative side effects rear their ugly head. It’s not worth it. And by the time you get down to that weight, the world will have moved on to a new body trend anyways. Why do y’all think the Kardashians have a new body every other week? They have the means to follow these trends. The average person doesn’t.
