Anytime a medicine becomes a trend people should start to worry… the medicine companies are banking on people’s insecurities. It’s so gross.
So true!
The medicine is intended to address a potentially deadly disease. Obesity which leads to a long list of life shortening illnesses. It’s the medi spas that are prescribing for insecurity. It’s medical doctors who prescribe for health.
Why are people getting over 300 lbs post 1977
@@kathleenking47 the food supply is tainted. Many people don't cook their own food from scratch anymore. Anything that's prepackaged is going to have undesirable chemicals included. We're also in a unique time in all of human history. The Western world has more food than they've ever had available before. So gluttony is more likely to happen.
Jane Fonda’s secret to thinness was anorexia nervosa, according to her. She did exercise doing her aerobics, but is lucky she never had a heart attack from the aerobics combined with her eating disorder.
Karen Carpenter, died from it
So obvious she suffered from an eating disorder then. Her 80s physique is shocking when you see the old videos and photos. So many women starved to look like that.
I’ve been on a weight loss journey after finding out I’m diabetic and it impacts my health. I am not on medication. I don’t think the obsession with thinness is healthy, but neither is fat acceptance. We need to love people regardless of size, but it’s still okay to tell someone who isn’t healthy to take care of themselves. Body types should not be a matter of style.
Yes, both extremes can be dangerous for your physical and mental health. I would know, I've been there...
Exactly, a lot of people think that the opposite of thin obsession is radical acceptance of unhealthy bodies, which is equally as dangerous. We need to promote ACTUAL healthy lifestyles.
Laura you have put this together perfectly..showing how women have abused their bodies in the name of being thin for decades! I saw an interview with Demi Moore today. She said she had to diet and exercise so hard to fit in to the Hollywood ideal and her roles, that she had no idea what her real physic looked like..
I am taking mounjaro (similar to ozempic) to manage my blood sugar. I lost 50 pounds. And fortunately i had no unpleasant symptoms. I just don't feel hungry most of the time and get full really easily. My blood sugar is much better as well. But my friend who is very slender already took ozempic to try to get her pre diabetic blood sugar down. She lost 12 pounds she didn't need to lose and was sick the whole time. She stopped taking it after about 3 weeks.
Congratulations, but we will see how and if you use long term, how your body will feel. Because, one thing that is trouble some is a pill control your appetite, that takes away your control and ability to make good food choices for your body. Which is why most gain the weight back, once off.
Remember ladies and gentlemen, if beauty standards were about health, we would have Olympians and Athletes as the ideals. Your health and fitness body may look different than others.
Amen
For most people, using this medication is the same as getting stomach surgery. It doesn't fix people's habits once the benefits wear off. I had coworkers who tried both, and they gained weight again because their attitudes of maintaining a healthy diet and exercise didn't change.
Yes that’s true. You have to been on Ozempic for life
It’s sad people that needed Ozempic for their diabetes couldn’t get it 😢
There's many other medications for diabetics.
My mother took insulin pills for years for her type 2 diabetes.
She knows when to post. She knows her fan base. Sunday morning is for Laura
There was also Jack LaLanne , back in the 50S who had a work out show.
I’m 37 and my dad showed us Jack Lalaine as kids! We thought he was the absolute coolest.
He lived a long time
That man was way ahead of his time.
OMG the Jack Lalanne power juicer infomercial 🤣 core memory from mi childhood unlocked
People using Ozempic is like people getting fillers in their teens and twenties. Something created for a certain group of people taking over because of a trend.
Ya it’s a little crazy. I think it’s good for some people as a last resort but no everyone
I need ozempic for diabetes and my pharmacy has a hard time keeping it in stock
@c1rcl3s same! It's really annoying! Fortunately I live in a large city. I have to go all over town to find it!
@@sharonsmith583 maybe ask your doctor to switch to Trulicity. It's the same thing and is more available. I have a prescription for both and just get whichever it available at the time
@@c1rcl3s there's many other diabetic medications that are safer than ozempic.
I have friends showing up mysteriously thin. I hope these glp1 agonist are safe. Thank God for my Italian mom, she never gave me junk and taught me to eat right.
It seems like the body “trends” stemmed from a specific actress or popular person who ALREADY had that physique, and because they are popular, now their body is too (because the clothes only look right on that specific body)
There was a medieval English king who put himself on a version of "Atkins" around the 11th century. He ate nothing but meat and wine. We dont know if he lost weight because less than a week later, he died.
Low carb diets like keto and Atkins are dangerous.
Nobody wants to talk about it.
Then it obviously wasn’t from the diet, lol
This video is done so well, I love the history! Thanks!
I always love your videos so much. You are doing a wonderful job ❤
Thank you 💕💕
Oh, wow. The Slim Fast ads really take me back. I remember my mom drinking a ton of Slim Fast when I was a kid. XD I don't think it was to lose weight so much as she was trying to save time because her job was so stressful.
I am so curious to try it
@@Laurajaneatelier It really doesn't taste that great tbh.
Omg I tried a detox tea back then. I was in the bathroom for days 😮😂
Haha me too
Excellent documentary! Well done!
Ozempic gave me constapation _and_ diarreah. Sweet Jesus, I don't wish it for anyone.
I hear so many mixed reviews
I like Richard Simmons.
You left out that morning exercise program around 1985 in which three girls did aerobic on a white turntable.
I have a friend who has used monjero for a year and a half and in my opinion she looks much older now and lost too much weight. She's having to do a maintenance dose of she gains the weight back.
I heard it causes skin laxity
Twiggy was an introduction to the anorexic look and starvation and laxative diets .
I rhought so
Stuff coming from UK was weird..post JFK assassination
I use Rybelsus for my blood sugar/glucose levels. It hasn't done anything for weight loss.
Those aren’t side effects-nausea is the effect of the hormone. Which we naturally have
The way you said “saga” in the first minute almost made me click off the video. 😂
The promotion of cigarette smoking and tobacco products as being “ Glamorous “ from the 1930s-1960s is Criminal and horrendous . My parents both got hooked as teenagers in the late 1940s really believing it was Cool , Hip and Sexy to Smoke .Like the Movie Stars . In the late 70s as a young teen girl in Junior High Kids started smoking but I didn’t . These kids thought they were “‘Cool”
Also . Smoking started becoming largely banned in Many public places including ball NightClubs,Pubs&!Bars as well as restaurants & Malls etc by the mid 1990s in Canada where I grew up . Vaping is also banned . Legally of course . You can loose your Business license if you are caught allowing smoking in any business or Night spot.
Drinking water isn't cool, sexy, or making you happy either😎
Cigarettes and seed oils like Crisco
Paid for early radio and television
@@squidwardwithoutaclue
Drinking water is great
Carrying water with you
Is a pksitive, and coukd take your appetite
My bmi is 22 and I weigh 130 pounds. I use it for hormone deficiency because I’m in perimenopause, I feel great and my body feels healthy and good. It isn’t all nefarious and evil!
I use ozempic for 3 months and never nausea and never vomiting
Why wouldn't they know side effects or long term effects, when its been around 20yrs?
Twiggy made freckles great. That was good
The shallow obsession with fitness and exercise and being thin is always underreported
Laura please check.out the movie "the road to wellville"
