re: Do you believe that we will see very negative side effects of the "fat shots" soon?

False. I’m on the compounded version. I came back from vacation in February and after the holidays 20 lbs overweight (220). I have a powerlifting meet next weekend and I have to be at 198. Since February, I’m down to 196 and my strength is through the roof. I’m extremely lean as well. Protein intake is high (200 g a day) and so is water intake (gallon+ daily). Zero side effects as well.

Hey frick all you guys. Ozempic face is a myth, when really fat people lose a lot of weight they have excess skin stupid. With any weight loss if you don’t get enough protein and exercise you lose muscle the medicine doesn’t cause that or loss of bone density. There are maybe 100 deaths attributed to the meds and that’s inconclusive. You know how many people die of being fatties every year ? Almost 5 million. I was pre diabetic with glucose of 124 and HIGHLY insulin resistant. I’ve lost 70 lbs have 5 to go to my goal and my sugar runs in the 80s and 90s. I feel great, look great and this probably added years to my life. I’m 52. Many people can’t lose weight with diet and exercise alone. So STFU, mind your business and leave us fatties and former fatties the frick alone. One more thing any weight loss is a struggle to keep it off drugs or no. It’s not a magic bullet, you have to run a calorie deficit.

Also I was never a big eater at all. But the insulin resistant caused me to keep weight on. I could lose with diet and exercise but I had to go to nearly 0 carbs which is obviously not good either. Oh yeah frick you condescending fricks again.

One thing the OT has taught me over the decades: Nobody deserves bad things to happen to them quite like people struggling to lose weight. Except maybe drug addicts.

Personally, I think any safe tool that can help people improve their health is likely a net benefit and with this one specifically, I could see it leading to further advances in fighting drug addiction noise in the brain.

Lot of previous drugs for weight loss have been eventually pulled.

almost all of them were stimulants. and eca and ephedrine is still on the market, like all stimulants they can be abused. dnp is an uncoupling agent


you even thinking glp-1's are close to the same, show your complete and utter lack of knowledge. just stfu and stop spewing garbage trying to act smart.

Super high level OT bro thinks you " look 30 years older and frail " so you fail.
Sorry, gain the weight back so the OT can regain equilibrium.

Many people have eating disorders, whether they have been diagnosed with one or not. This drug can be a miracle to some people who cannot get over eating disorders.

In my case, I generally eat the same amount of food as before, maybe a little better and I am dropping weight like I never before have either.

How will a pill change mindset? Changing mindset comes from deep within

Ever heard of "food noise"???

It's the constant thought of eating, constantly thinking of food no matter how hard you try not too.

These meds help to reduce that "food noise" which in turn helps change mindset.

I've noticed it myself. Been on Mounjaro for my type 2 diabetes for 6 months, have lost 40 lbs and A1C down to 5.8 from 8.4.

A buddy of mine made me realize something. He and his wife are also on them, he asked if I ever lose track of time now, and I said yes. He mentioned he noticed himself lose track of time mist days because before his mind was constantly thinking about when it was time toear, his schedule revolved around meals. Sonce being on the meds he doesnt think of food constantly and loses track of time because his life isnt a slave to meal time.
