I have lost some muscle. But what I gained in mobility, energy, and losing my addiction and dependence on food and alcohol way outweighs the cons of the drug. It’s saved my life. I was suicidal
❤so glad to hear it has helped so significantly
Agree and if you make sure you eat high protein and fibre and exercise then I don’t think it’s a given ?
You only lost the fatty tissue within your muscles and not the protein. This woman doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
Right but you being suicidal is the effect of you being so addicted not willing to change your ways
It’s not starvation weight loss. I’m not starving. This helps me stay on track and focus on exercise and weight lifting. My muscles look great, my joints hurt less, inflammation has gone down, and my blood pressure is lower. Be careful, and follow clean nutrition and exercise.
I was on Ozempic for 2 months. I told my doctor that it felt like a daily hangover. Headache and nausea. I’ve gone in the direction of behavioral health. Understanding why I overeat and consciously opting for healthy long term eating habits. Down 25 pounds so far.
Congratulations! That's awesome ❤
It’s hard, but it’s the BEST way to do it. Most people who say they “tried exercise and diet” only did it for a month or 2 and gave up.
@@Niecy70 thank you! Down 30lbs now. About 5lbs a month. No rush.😊
Refined carbohydrates, i.e. sugar is the culprit.
Great job 👏🏻 keep it up❤
It should be prescribed with a weight loss plan : high protein and exercise and education. Prescribed responsibly to the right patient
Yes. Most doctors are failures and do not help properly, especially not with information
This is what my dr did. 3x weight lifting per week, low dosage, and a moderate calorie deficit focused on protein. It’s a tool, not just an excuse to eat 1000 calories per day
Moronic. My dad lost over 100 lbs at 80 yo after a lifetime of chronic obesity. He threw away his BP meds he'd been on for 40 years and now walks without a walker.
It shouldn't be prescribed for ppl who have 10 lbs to lose but people who really need it and have struggled for years- it is 100% a miracle.
Was that on the standard dosage?
That's not normal though. The danger always exists.
People really need to do their own research on Ozempic. (If they really need it for weight loss). Ozempic is a GLP1 receptor agonist. GLPR1 receptors send the I am full single to the brain. ( this is a very simple explanation). Some people do not produce enough of this, and thus need a boost. That’s what Ozempic aids. It is extremely important to remember that Ozempic is just one part of a weight loss strategy, and should only be taken by people that are willing to eat a healthy diet and exercise. If you aren’t willing to put in the work and make the changes to your lifestyle, of course Ozempic won’t work, and the moment you stop taking it you will totally gain all the weight plus more back.
You won’t gain the weight back if you use the time you’re doing the med to change your eating habits and learn how to have a different lifestyle. For me it’s about portion control and exercise as well as stress management. I’ve stopped taking it for 3 weeks and had no problem with sticking with my diet and plan. No weight gain. You can’t take the med and carry on with your old ways. I guess you could but what’s the point? I have had not one bad side effect. Have felt great and have lost 55 lbs so far. Have another 20-30 to go. I intend to continue to keep learning and to stay healthy. This has gotten me over the hump!!! Love it!!!
There are many ways to help ensure satiety that don't involve artificially agonizing a receptor.
@user-zo5tp8vd6z I'm seeing way too many people on these gpl-1 shots not doing that though, they continue to eat poorly, not moving their body, keeping the same habits, but replying on the medication way too much. Let's just get it out there, some people want the easy way out without putting the work in.
@@KihmJones Thank you for sharing your story. I am starting Ozempic next week. My goal is to lose 30lb prior to an ankle surgery so I don't stress the rest of my body by bearing extra weight while I heal from my surgery. It will be a temporary medication.
What the doctor mentions in the video regarding "starvation" and loss of muscle mass is a result of how ozempic significantly slows down the digestive process to the point you are essentially starving yourself as you are not digesting and absorbing food normally, while not feeling hungry. It will be very difficult to put that muscle back on. It seems like a trade-off between health risks.
I’m on it and it’s helping me because I’m insulin resistant and have high blood pressure. I’m losing weight slowly, working with a trainer for weight lifting, eating protein, my blood pressure is better and I also do not plan to stay on it. I’m also making better choices with food. With my insulin resistance, I can’t lose no matter what I do and this is helping me personally. There are side effects, but mine hasn’t been too bad.
I’m on ozempic and have been for 4 months. I have not had any side effects except for weight loss. I was concerned about muscle mass loss but have continued to exercise while losing weight, which is now 15 pounds
Check out evil food supply ozempic is a scam
I'm diabetic. My doctor started me on Ozempic 3 weeks ago. I still excercise at least 3 days a week. Last scale check I was down 3lbs. I have noticed a huge drop in my energy levels in the early afternoon since starting the med. I wonder if that is a side effect?
You can lose 14 lbs in 4 months without ozempic , but people don't want to put in the work.
@didilom564 I have worked out and ate the right. I am diabetic and have blood sugar disregulation. Ozempic is prescribed to help stabilize my blood sugar.
@@didilom564No so. Many people have misfires within the body. Meaning the body doesn't trigger properly and body doesn't budge.
That’s why diet & lifestyle are meant to be prescribed alongside the drug.
I am diabetic and Ozempic has helped me so much...losing the weight is just the gift that comes with it. I take vitamins also ... no muscle mass lost yet...
Exactly like my spouse but then one day it all changed. Now he looks almost gaunt.
That's because it's a medication for diabetics. It's not supposed to be taken for just weight loss.
@@Beginnerreadsthebible ? He is diabetic that's why it was prescribed to him.
I love ozembic! Im losing weight at a healthy rate and gaining muscle too. It had helped me with my high blood pressure, cholesterol, and prediabetes.
Ditto.
@@1mobetter99 glad it is helping you too! Develop successful habits while on it and you will be golden
Diabetes? If not you are just part of the problem.
I just started on this medication yesterday, how did you gain muscle? Thanks
Sounds exactly what I’m hoping for!! I have high blood pressure too.
People are speaking negativity about this medication. Before I got on Semiglutide I tried ever diet, fast and workout. I was pre diabetic. I had tingling feet and hands, high BP, headaches daily, could barely see, my BMI numbers were horrible and I was at my heaviest at 202-205 lbs. I had breathing problems and snoring while sleeping but when I started using Semiglutide I lost 38 lbs, no tingling in my hands and feet, no feeling of being sluggish, much more energy and can breathe better. Also I had no issues with my eyes with feeling like I can't see much. BP is good and better yet, I got that stubborn weight off. I did all of this without working out. Let people pray about it and see if it's for them.
I dodged the Phen Phen bullet 20 years ago. I thank God for that!
I have a friend who has heart valve damage from Phen Phen.
Me too. Thank God.
Phentermine is back in vogue. It’s half of Phen Phen and supposedly safe by itself. My hair stylist is on it.
My mother was on phen phen and it damaged her heart, she was eventually put in oxygen and when covid hit (after vaccine and two boosters) she passed away from it; she wasn't healthy enough to fight it off; 77 years old and very sick for the last 25 years of it.
i dont believe any covid stuff on the internet.. SORRY. its not you its me!! LOL!
i am on phentermine right now, it is safe under a doctors care. its been re evaluated from what it was. all you people freak out, you are all dying anyways. if your phat you need to lose weight or you die...
Obesity is a major health issue. If Ozempic helps you lose weight through fat and muscle, then counterbalance with a healthy diet and exercise routine. Also, Ozempic is temporary and can help people shift their health and habits in a positive way.
I completely understand your concerns and don’t disagree but I’m curious to know how this is different than fasting. I’m not using Ozempic but my personal trainer has several clients on it that have been weight loss resistant despite eating low carb/keto and exercising, even intermittent fasting. These women are finally losing weight.
Because it's poisonous garbage. Fasting is not.
Autophagy, also ketosis is muscle protective
This is a great point that no one brings up!
@@TheVelvetTallow Thanks for your reply! I understand that part. In my observation, ozempic is just making it easier for patients to fast and enter ketosis because of its effect on GLp1. I’m just wondering how this is different than a patient that doesn’t need this “assistance”. 🤔🤷🏽♀️
@@adrie2396 I had the same question as you! The way I see it, medications are exogenous chemicals that come with side effects. GLP1s come with an increased risk of pancreatitis leading to pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, tumors, apparently muscle wasting per this video, none of which I’ve heard of in fasting.
Obesity is dangerous as well. I mean, dont use it if youre just trying to lose a few pounds for vanity, but i think if you see a doctor and you weigh the risk vs the risk of staying obese, youll make your own informed decision.
Thank you. I'm so tired of people speaking negativity about this medication. Before I got on Semiglutide, I was pre diabetic. I had tingling feet and hands, high BP, headaches daily, could barely see, my BMI numbers were horrible and I was at my heaviest at 202-205 lbs. I had breathing problems and snoring while sleeping but when I started using Semiglutide I lost 38 lbs, no tingling in my hands and feet, no feeling of being sluggish, much more energy and can breathe better.

Let people pray about it and see if it's for them.
I didn't lose muscle mass. I lost 65 pounds on Ozempic. Lifted weights 3-4 times a week. Maintained my muscle and losing the 65 pounds I can now do cardio! It's an amazing drug!!
And the medical profession expects us to trust them without question. Bizarro world.
NEVER trust ANYONE that expects you to trust them without allowing to be questioned. NEVER.
If you actually listen to what she is saying instead of getting outraged by the title, you’d realize this has always been common knowledge.
There’s no weight loss without muscle loss, and excessive muscle loss can cause problem to the organs. The healthiest path is avoid extreme weight fluctuations and maintain a healthy, constant BMI.
However if a person is morbidly obese and hasn’t been able to lose weight for years, then the risks of remaining obese outweigh the ones of ozempic. I don’t know what’s so hard about that.
I can attest- was trying to get off last 10lbs. (to 133 at 5'5" fit female) I use a BMI scale at the gym which is a high quality machine. In one month I lost 5lbs. but my body fat %went UP and I actually lost 2 lbs. of hard earned lean muscle. So mad, beyond the pale. I worked out during that month and my diet had plenty of protein but it was absolutely CATOBOLIC on my muscle. Not to mention by 3rd week I was exhausted. I did low carb and kept calories at 1200 which is what I have to do to move the needle. Sure it was good to not be hungry but several months later and back to my original BMI and muscle, I can say that I appreciate my strength and appetite. For me it was horrible, made me feel old and fragile and I really wonder if it did any more damage. Great drug for the death-fats but if you are close t to ideal weight don't bother. I've also noticed that some of the actress that have taken it indeed look smaller but just less shapely, as if they lost a lot of muscle too. Erica Jane as an example.
The lady in the video is a doctor and she coaches people like you. Consider stopping the 1200 calorie per day and instead add in fasting and intermittent fasting aka cyclical ketosis.
And Billy Gardell from Mike and Molly & Bob ❤️ Abishola.
@@sofondadavis5028 oh yea, he looks kind of deflated and skinny but no muscle.
@@TV-el6uj I know who she is and what she advocates and I pull ALL of the levers, not brand new here.
@@OnTheMuffin maybe your ideal weight is more than you like?
I was using it because of my sugar levels and stopped it after 9 months and 75 lbs down. My digestive system is still trying to recover and I'm still losing weight.
Maybe try some Omnibiotic.. these are ,,good,, bacteries that you dissolve in water that repair your digestive system. Have taken it myself years ago and its really good (btw im from germany)
Look into berberine for sugar levels, a natural product with no side effects and it works better than anyting pharma offers.
How are you doing now?
You are 100% correct! Muscle loss will impact during old age
My doctor recommended and sent me home with ozempic and they really didn't explain what it does so i started to research. I'll just say if for short it went in the trash immediately.
Try keto or Carnevore diet ❤
Me too I threw it away!!!😮
Good for you! You dodged a bullet
@@charlotteandersson6944 I'm swaying between ketosis and a carnivore type diet. I basically cut out all simple carbs and only use them for shocking my system out of routine and then back to a different fast.
@@angelathompsonmack3583 after listening to the scientific evidence I was a bit concerned. It just makes me upset that it's also a $500+ prescription. Once your on it you have to stay on it. I wasn't told anything about it before coming home.
I’m insulin-dependent diabetic Type 1.5 (LADA) since 2001. I use an insulin pump. My BMI is 26. My Endo says I’m not really a good candidate for Ozempic since it’s intended for obese patients. For my height I’m in the overweight category. Portion control, Consistent daily exercise (brisk walking) 2hrs every single day, and intermittent fasting (roughly one to two small meals per day) are my go to choices. The more I read or see about Ozempic the less I want it. Losing muscle is not my goal. Thanks Dr Boz for your guidance on this drug. 🎉😎
Totally agree. There's no shortage cuts.
I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. I wish I had known this before starting on Mounjaro. I was not prescribed it for weight-loss, but for type 2 diabetes with the hope of it reducing my weight. I used a Keto diet to reverse my type 2 diabetes along with this medication. I mentioned the 6 lbs of muscle loss over a year to my doctor and he wasn’t concerned and told me I could not stop the medication even though my A1C is now normal. I have chosen to stop the medication on my own, which I am not an advocate of, but felt I had no other options after also experiencing symptoms of pancreatitis which my doctor also did not take seriously. So now I’m sharing my story and encouraging other to do their research about this class of medications. I am 44 now and hoping that I can gain my muscle back, but I know it is going to be a challenging.
ketosis is not possible on these because it maintains constant insulin
@@TV-el6uj I disagree with you. I have maintained a state of ketosis for a year while on this medication.
@@SarahsJoyfulJourney oh ok
How was the muscle mass loss detected?
@@notsogreen but a scan at my doctor at his office.
All you have to do is works out with it-it’s like any other weight loss plan!
And what I've gained in loss of joint pain, swelling joints, and peace of mind is well worth it... Just waiting for gen 3 triple g!
How about exercising while taking g ozempic.
Finally. The comment I was looking for. A healthy diet and a sensible exercise routine should do the trick. Plus, a physician can easily help assist you with any muscle loss related issues.
Yep! I’ve been on it 5 weeks, and am down 12 lbs. i only have a dose or 2 left and my new insurance doesn’t cover it for me because I’m not diabetic, thought I am obese 🙄so I won’t be taking it anymore. The last 3 weeks I have been doing a bit of strength training and HIIT, and I believe it will continue because it’s easier for me to move around with even this minimal amount of weight gone. I still need to lose 20-30 more lbs, and I think I can because of this jumpstart that ozempic has given me.
Hell yeah!! I’ve gain muscle and loss weight. Been eating healthy and going to the gym. Also no side effects for me . Why is everyone believe her like some Christians? ?
I love your content, thank you!
With the addition of the correct peptides, this won’t happen. Semaglutide is a peptide and if you get it compounded, NAD+ can/is added. There are also several HGH activating peptides like sermorlin, cjc 1295. and impamorlin that have demonstrated success in increasing muscle mass and bone density. The problem is the pharmaceutical companies can’t patent these compounds because they’re naturally occurring proteins in everyone’s body. That means they can’t charge you an arm and a leg for something you already have. So, yes, semaglutide has some problems, but the real problem is our medical system
Thank you for the warning!!! People jumping on the bandwagon without proper consideration can be deadly. Years ago my father was put on a medication for type 2 diabetes that was subsequently removed from the market as dangerous. It destroyed his liver & ultimately killed him.
I don't trust ANYTHING the "medical" industry puts out for atleast 50 years. So many medicines are dangerous or have miserable side effects. For self proclaimed high achievers they sure haven't set the bar remotely high enough to me. There are better ways.
Yeah, I think it's great that they're all taking it. My husband, who's diabetic can't get it because there isn't any available.
😮
Don't be mad at someone else trying to save their life, be mad at the makers of this for not ramping up production before releasing it for weight loss. If they made more of it, it wouldn't be $1200.00 a month.
@allenburgin3229 Yes, I am mad at vanity, grow up.
@@kathleenbradley5232 you make no sense. Elaborate. You know , use words to make a point. "Grow up" isn't much to go on.
@allenburgin3229
It means get on a treadmill & circuit training instead of being LAZY.
Yes, if you have Cardiovascular problems and Diabetes
It should be paired with weight training and adequate protein. The under eating of protein is what causes issues for SOME people, not the Ozempic itself.
exactly just like with any diet. Chances are a lot of these people are just taking it and still eating trash diets they just eat less so they lose weight but deny their body the nutrients it needs.
No such thing as a free lunch. Seems too good to be true
Yeah and in seven years there is going to be the lawyer on TV saying if you tried this drug or a family member try this drug...
Agreed
She’s outright lying. Patients on GLP-1 have the same amount of muscle loss as patients who lose weight on their own. It’s all in the studies she chose not to talk about. She’s a grifter.
@@ALT-vz3jn patients who lose weight on their own have a huge range of muscle loss experience. I’ve lost weight through fasting and experienced little muscle loss
@@KCCAT5we’re already there. Look up Morgan and Morgan attorney’s office Ozempic. I heard their commercial aired on ESPN radio last week saying “if you’ve taken Ozempic and have suffered from gastrointestinal issues or stomach paralysis you may be eligible for compensation.
Unfortunately he had the lap band procedure, but didn’t follow the suggested dietary guidelines. He initially lost about 30lbs & was told that he should return to his lap band surgeon to have the cuff in his stomach inflated. This would have helped him by creating a tighter band at the top of his stomach to help him avoid over eating. Well he had a long list of excuses of as to why he didn’t want to do this. Well over the next 10 years he gained at least 100lbs. He is now on another diabetic medication similar to Ozempic & has lost 25lbs. His cardiologist said he will put him on Ozempic this Spring.
We recently went to Brunch in early Feb & my cousin had FOUR plates of food!! I believe that unfortunately he has always searched for a pill or surgery in which he didn’t have to take responsibility for his own weight loss. It scares me that his BMI before taking this medication was 66! I think of him following a course of death by fork.
Try Monjaouro. I’m still hitting the gym, eat waaay less as I’m not hungry for u healthy snacks and still eating healthier portioned meals whilst obtaining not bad protein macros. My liver LFTs are healthier than they’ve been in YEARS. It’s the one for me.
Lose heart muscle too. Not good.
if your heart is surrounded by a giant layer of fat and you're at risk of having a heart attack because you're morbidly obese - the *potential* for any sort of muscle loss is far outweighed by not having a cardiac arrest and dying.
@@user-ij9bs9ke9j there's another way where a person can lose visceral fat and not lose any muscles including cardiac muscles. Ever heard of dieting and exercise?
@@jade5202 dumbest thing I have heard. Like all these people who are struggling haven't tried that already. There is a whole diet industry. Diets are not sustainable in the long run. Diets do not negate cravings.
My hubby started it 4 months ago. 45 years old pre diabetic, high cholesterol and blood pressure. He started at 260 and now down to 220. All his numbers are phenomenal and back to healthy ranges. He didn’t have any nausea or other side effects. I told him not to take it anymore and slowly wean down, but he’s scared the weight will creep back up. Does he have to take it for the rest of his life?!?!
Thank you! It's only about money!
Thank you Doc. Eliminate the refined carbs, i.e. sugar.
I’ve seen a lot of people go for medication’s that will help them lose weight, however, if someone has an eating disorder, has a medical condition etc, then it is fine as long as the physician tells the patient to stay fit, and consider proper nutrition.
If you stop eating, and don’t have consume proper nutrients and aren’t walking at least 30 min a day, the muscle loss can really hurt you, especially if you have back issues and joint pain (a strong core and back muscles will protect your body)
I take Ozempic for my T2 diabetes. Over the past 2 years, I have lost 80 lbs on Ketovore. I hope I have avoided losing muscle mass.
get a DEXA scan to determine muscle, fat & bone composition
Congrats on your weight loss 👏
Taking off more than a pound per week risks loss of muscle mass, overwhelming the body with release of stored toxins and also loose skin. It takes time to put on weight, don't be too much in a hurry to take it off. Learn good exercise methods. Weight will come off if avoid sugar, grains, seed oils, ... Use intermittent fasting. Avoid using the standard American diet. Drugs should not be necessary. Sugar and the lack of fat leads to excess eating (snacking).
Thank you! Finally a doctor that speaks the truth about these drugs. Not to mention the damage to other organs. Going through it now. Why I love you Dr Boz! You are the best! Thank you!
This is untrue. I have lost a small amount of muscle but a much larger amount of fat so my muscle to fat ratio is vastly improved.
I’m really liking dr tyna moores perspective as long as you do exercise, it’s fantastic and no long term effects
Thank you!! It's so dangerous to lose muscle mass and hard to gain it back.
I was on it for 2 years for diabetes. My husband changed jobs/insurance and we can't get it now. I only lost about 14 lbs over that 2 years, but gained it back within 2 months of being off of it. I wish I never would of been on it. I would've been better off.
Just got prescribed absolutely pumped. Ive had several friends do it and its incredible.
How are you doing so far ?
Yayy for you.
Whatever she is saying makes sense, but it can definitely help you start your weight loss journey and help you achieve your keto and intermittent fasting goals in the beginning and rest is up to you if you want to make a lifestyle change and live healthy life or gain it back.
I work for a PBM and for the last 2 1/2 weeks 60% of the calls have been for Ozempic. Smh
Thanks! It’s all about the money. It’s not going to help anyone with obesity. These pharmaceutical companies just get me pi$$ed!
I agree about big pharma, but this is on the doctors, isn’t it? This is off label use, I think. My SIL is on it for pre diabetes and the side effect/“added benefit” was mentioned.
I am taking it and its helping me
Work at a weightloss clinic for patients that are in the special grey area. For ex: Patient that can't workout because of a heart condition and needs surgery for it, but they need to drop weight to be approved for it. Ozempic is fine! Just do a protein shake/supplement to sustain the muscle.
That may be true, but quality of life for a lot of obese people increase I'm sure. And they can start working on building muscles, when they are able to get back to a healthier lifestyle, going to gym etc
Everything in moderation. I have 3 family members use this drug for weight loss and they are healthy and off all medications now. They used half the dose and eat healthy and exercise. It was good for them.
Lot of people have been saying when they get down to the ideal weight they use the drug a lot less frequently and they are able to keep the weight off that way. It still needs to be studied but Ive heard that a number of times
Agree ... but who will pay attention to that?
Big fan, here, even though I don’t always agree with you.
Surely, by “not allowed,” you don’t mean it should be illegal to prescribe or use for weight loss?
You’re a real doctor. Thank you giving us information we could and have gone years without ever hearing from our “doctors” and “specialists”.
The moment that it became clear that the way to keep yourself healthy on Ozempic is to eat properly and to exercise, the argument was over.
Muscle mass can be maintained and regained if people are mindful about it.
As someone in the medical field I’ve seen this first hand but it’s hard to convince patients when they have the desire to lose weight. Don’t just think short term, think long term
Sharon Osborne mentioned this in an interview. She said that she ended up losing too much weight and now she can’t gain it back.
facts!!!
People just want quick solutions to move complex problems. Most people that overeat do it to fill a void and have a quick fix for issues the that should be addressed accordingly. Americans think a pill solves everything.
The problem is that as it stands now, nothing fixes that void and obesity. So if medicines give hope for the future, that’s great. Ppp are just size-ist for some reason and won’t want ppl to have any way to lose weight for some reason.
@@dvsdawl Therapy fixes the void
I love this, people dont sit there at 300/400lbs and go in 15yrs.....they may not even be here. Any weight loss needs to be done in preparation with diet and gym, as you get older you know lifting weights is a must to have strong joints, forget the drugs you take, its common sense.
Um this video made me subscribe!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ive been Goin to the gym eating healthy and have been trying to make the changes in my life. This was very motivating
Lady, what part of “I’m a fat fuckin bastard” don’t you understand?
Solutions? Thank you for emphasizing the problem. Keto & carnivore don't work for everyone. Much diversity in people's metabolisms. PLUS, metabolism healing is needed for many. How??
Thank you for this very good information. I am 63 years old and had this recommended to me by a friend who is 68years old. As you probably know when you are an older woman losing weight feels almost impossible. She has had some wonderful weight loss and I was thinking WOW! she does look wonderful. I always research a lot before taking any medicine or even vitamin supplements. After hearing this from a Doctor it is a hard no for me. THANK YOU! You have helped me make a important decision.
I love that Tiffany lamp in the background. So pretty.
Nothing inherently about ozempic forces you to lose a larger amount of muscle vs traditional weight loss. People just go on either too severe of a deficit or they don’t consume enough protein. If you eat enough protein and you resistance train you’ll build muscle while on ozempic period lol.
My sincere question is , if ozempic has that negative side effect, then why is it prescribed to diabetics who are in every sense sick? Is it then not dangerous for them? Just a question
Bingo! Smart question and the answer is it’s been used since 2005 with great results!!
Somebody should file a class action lawsuit
10 years from now there will be horror stories about this. Number 1 cause for poor longevity is fragility.
I am on Ozempic because of diabetes and I haven’t lost my appetite at all ..on the contrary, my cravings have increased
Not to mention that celebrity demand for the drug has driven up the price to the point that actual diabetics who may need it to live now cannot afford it.
My dr actually recommended this for me cuz my extra 80 pounds was gonna eventually start causing me health problems
My obese daughter is finally losing weight on Ozempic.She does yoga and walks every day..
yep walking is quite good. If she really wants to get into shape should should take up swimming. Its low impact but its a serious workout
Hot take lady but you sound silly. This med is a life saver.
I agree that normal or slightly overweight people shouldn’t use ozempic when there are safer less permanent options. However, obese people usually have extra muscle from having to carry the extra weight. There are also a few medications in trials to reduce the muscle loss that comes with fast weight loss
Thank you so much for the video
I can't afford Ozempic or Mounjaro but, my cousins take it and they've dropped an insane amount of weight. They also say they feel really crappy for three days out of the week.
I'm jealous and competitive and refuse to stay fat while they whittle away so, I've been doing the sardine thing, followed by a carb load, three days a week for a couple weeks now. I'm down 13lbs. It's still early in my new regiment but, my blood sugar has already dropped from the 300s down to 99-114 with no medication. Also, i find that my appetite is stable and I'm able to splurge with much fewer calories. Bring on the hot sauce!!
We're seeing it already. Robbie Williams looks like a frail little old man (he's only just turned 50).
While Sharon Osborne now looks like a corpse.
Thanks for articulating this so well! I've heard that it also causes sexual dysfunction
All the comments are viciously defending Ozempic because the thought of eating healthy and having good habits TERRIFIES them.
Exactly, anything BUT eat healthy and exercise
Lol. Assumptions will not get you places
That comment is inappropriate! People who are working on improving their health by using this drug may also very sincerely adjusted their nutrition intake entirely and also changed and improved their physical exercise regimen. Not everybody is as you are portraying!! I’m a winner and doing great, having fully improved my eating lifestyle, exercise, lost significant weight, got off blood pressure med, super healthy labs!! Stop being hateful! What is it to you that people are having weight loss and health success? You must have an ulterior motive for your bitterness!!
Humans prefer the easiest solution, but the “solution” is more dangerous than the disease. You fight off your cravings and do a full carnivore/animal products diet ONLY. You’ll lose all that weight in record time. It’s literally that simple. Everyone wants to pop a pill and still keep their vices, they want to keep eating Oreos but also lose weight. There’s a price for everything. You want quick and easy, it comes with consequences
That's exactly how it is!! These uncomprehending haters are terribly dissatisfied people who cannot see it when people no longer have to suffer and can finally free themselves from their pathological weight
It used to be thought that the 20% muscle mass loss was very problematic, however if they are on low doses and eating properly, you are losing the fat (think of a marbled slab of meat) so that you are leaner. You should still be eating enough things to sustain your muscles but you want lean muscles and strong bones. So you can't just take GLP1 and eat crappy. You have to make sure your calories are nutrient dense so you don't lose bone density. Most people shouldn't be on high doses, they should be giving a small dose and slowly raise till you start feeling better. If you get any side effects then go back to lower dose. If your doctor isn't explaining that to you, get a better doctor. They don't understand how it works and shouldn't be prescribing it to their patients.
Those are not problems specific to ozempic, those are problems of anyone losing weight. Yes, I agree that most people on ozempic for weight loss ignore the advice that it is an adjunct to diet and exercise. But if you take care to have plenty of protein and exercise, especially with resistance training - you won't have that major drop off in muscle mass. The fact that they won't do it, is obvious, but they also had no plans to diet and were going to have all the health problems related to obesity, such as diabetes and heart attack.
Sharon Osbourne said this exact thing. She regrets taking it. She said no matter what she does she cannot gain it back
I took it for diabetes and I lost tons of muscle mass, among other terrible side effects. I came off it and was shamed by my doc. It's taken me 6 months to gain back muscle mass and lose weight. That's working out 5 days a week and very strict low carb diet.
Imagine a doctor saying this about the covid vax. Medications arent a one size fits all. Common sense says if you want to lose weight eat properly and exercise
The things listed are all things I don't care about decreasing.
It almost killed me … my white blood cells dropped very low along with so much other stuff . I’ve been seeing a hematologist for a few months because of this medication.
I feel like I should speak out more about this
It’s good for extreme situations, not for losing 10-20 kilos
Sheeeeit who starving not me. I'm on wegovy. I make sure I get 120-130 grams of protein and around 1400 calories a day.
Not if they are eating high protein and excercise
Just need to keep lower dosages and counsel people on the importance of strength training and eating protein.
Not everyone 🤷🏿♀️
I've always agreed with this. When i lost my weight, I did it by tracking calories and hard gym workouts. The idea of putting poison in my body to lose weight never occurred to me. That medicine is so dangerous and has many side effects. No thanks!
Unless they’re eating enough protein and exercising
Thank you! I will NOT use it.
I love that lamp
