Ozempic

Saw a relative (cousin's husband) recently who suddenly wasn't fat. I asked him how he lost so much weight, he sheepishly said prescription medicine (I assume Ozempic)
This stuff has to be terrible for people. But alot of people seem to be taking it.

It essentially helps you starve yourself into skinny
So you lose muscle mass along with fat
It’s horrible

I got a prescription just so I can get a class action settlement payment in a few years.

Being obese is terrible for people. The reported side effects and unknowns of possibly more are why I won't take it for the 10lb vanity weight I'd love to lose, but I'm far from anyone who is going to judge someone who really needs it.

The problem is it’s really not. And like the poster above alluded to, the gain of a healthier society, lower healthcare premiums, co-morbidities, diabetes, and crowded hospitals will far outweigh (pun intended) the side effects we still haven’t realized.
One of the biggest issues with it is the social stigma and people subconscious desire to want to bury it since it’s a medication. We want to believe miracle drugs don’t exist but this one is about as close as we’ve gotten. Our society needs to learn to accept it, because we all will benefit from it.

Can cause stomach/intestinal paralysis.

I know some short term effects are muscle loss if you are not actively working out. I guess you have to weigh the benefits of being not fat + any side effects versus the benefits of being fat.

Losing the fat is way more important than keeping muscle mass

And likely lots more side effects. All medications have side effects.

Lots of experts are coming around on it because more benefits are coming out like preventing Parkinson’s
Btw there are 13 weight loss medications under FDA review. This is just the beginning
Yes it’s lazy but it’s better than being obese

Too bad it doesn't make people more attractive

Do yall think these drugs have only been around the last year?

It's very hard on peoples stomachs. If you already have acid reflux you don't want to take Ozempic.

Can't wait to get prescribed TRT. The beta guys can have all the Ozempic they want.
Posted on 9/10/24 at 9:43 am to burger bearcat
I'm one of the ones who actually doesn't think it will be bad. Disclaimer: I'm not fat nor on Ozempic
It's simply slowing down people's digestive process, causing them to feel fuller for longer. Thus, you aren't eating as much, and you lose weight.
It was intended for Diabetics to regulate A1C, but low and behold has an added benefit!
No different that Viagra which was initially intended to be a blood pressure medication until they discovered this really awesome side-effect.
There's been so much taboo about it being "cheating"... Who gaf?!
If it "helps" someone regulate their caloric intake, then fricking fantastic!! The less fat people, the better! Obesity is a damn epidemic.

Malnourishment is NOT how to lose weight

There’s a pharmacy in Lake Charles where you can get it.
