About what I'd expect from you.

I’m not following what you’re saying. OP said he and his wife split a pizza (had 2 pieces) but left half of it on the table.

wife and I shared a pizza last night and left about 1/3 of it. That’s called eating normally.

That’s what he did. Is he not eating normally?

I think his point was... that's what they should have been doing all along and shouldn't need Mounjaro to do it...

If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Seems to me that if someone takes Mounjaro, then over time, does their stomach not shrink, thereby allowing them to feel fuller ANYWAYS when they eat after coming off it? And yes, I'm aware that it will "blow back up" if they go back to their old eating habits. So yes, eating habits, as well as physical activity habits, must be changed.

The glaring example is the fact that they are touting sharing a pizza as a win. Most people not on ozempic/semaglitude share a pizza. My wife and I shared a pizza last night and left about 1/3 of it. That’s called eating normally.

You must not know what Lit Pizza is. Their pizzas are 12” thin crust, single servings. Eating two slices of Lit Pizza is about the same as eating one slice of a regular pizza.
This is what we ate, two slices each of a 12” pizza. Hell, I don’t even think they are 12”, they maybe 10”.

Edit
I just Googled it, they have 11” pizzas.

Count me in as one with severe side effects. Diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, no vomiting though.

I agree with Ron ricks,MoJeaux and other downvoters.I wouldn’t take any new meds that come out for at least 5 years.
I would rather have the gastric sleeve surgery if I wanted to lose weight badly enough.I know 6 people that had the surgery,it’s done laparoscopically and recovery was pretty easy.All 6 initially lost a good bit of weight,Two years later 5 of the 6 were right back where they started before surgery.
I worked with 2 women that got on fen-phen,1 developed pulmonary hypertension.She lost weight for sure but she had some tough years before she died,
I also remember Bextra,Celebrex and Vioxx.It worked well for some people but caused heart attacks and death in some.
As far as the Covid “vax”,I know a lot of people that took it and most had no side effects,knew of a few that had some blood clotting problems including a lady that a massive stroke next day.
Most of them got Covid anyway,some 2-3 times.

I understand the difficulty of controlling appetite,I struggle with it constantly.
My motivation is I want to avoid being on any prescription meds.73 and so far have not had to start taking any,had lab work 2 weeks ago and every thing was good,BP also.

For some reason people attach moralistic views to weight loss and muscle gain. Glp would be akin to steroids and people get all bent the frick out of shape over PEDs even if they don’t lift. It’s fricking weird

Maybe for some but my issue is with Big Pharma who is controlling and destroying this country with medications, magic potions, quick ‘fixes’ etc that many people don’t even need and in the end do not work or screw you up even worse. You don’t need something like Mounjaro to lose weight and live better. The blueprint is out there I don’t care how obese, sickly, weak etc someone is. Making lifestyle changes can fix this without Big Pharma’s magic potions that are designed for you to rely on them forever so they keep making money. I threw my morals out a longtime ago and have always advocated if you are going to use PEDs do it under the supervision of a MD where you can get bloods etc done and monitor. Use stuff made by actual pharmaceutical companies (USA or Europe) not shite made in China or Mexico and heaven forbid don’t use stuff from these UGL ‘labs’ that are literally being mixed in people’s sinks and bathtubs. Use human grade products. The difference is huge. An example when I was using hGH I was fortunate enough to be able to use Serostim or Humatrope but when W Bush came after PEDs and things dried up for about a year I had to switch to the generic green, yellow, or black tops from either China or Mexico. To get the same effect from the ‘generic’ I had to basically double or even almost triple the dose it was garbage. I’m not saying everything from China or manufacturered there is garbage I just personally wouldn’t touch it for many many reasons. China could wipe us out if they wanted simply by withholding or contaminating medicine. I’m well aware that not everything made in China is impure or contaminated etc but why even take the risk? Knowing what we know about how they operate it wouldn’t give me warm feelings about relying on them for anything.

You are right. My bad. Apologies.

If someone uses it to "kick start" their weight loss, get healthier etc.... more power to them.

If someone uses it because they simply refuse to do anything else... they will eventually fail.

Obviously, the ideal situation would be to lose weight by exercising and eating healthier... but, I guess, oftentimes obese people are... well... so obese that they feel as if they can't exercise. Go on Ozempic or Mounjaro, lose 30 or 40 pounds and it becomes easier to exercise.

Much like people with high cholesterol... won't change one thing about their diet... but will eat statins all day long or people that would rather not cut salt out of their diet and just take another high blood pressure medicine. Or something like that. NOt that simple and cut or dried... some of those things are hereditary and bad genetics... but you hopefully get the gist.
