re: Has anyone known someone to take the weight loss shots, stop, and keep weight off?

Fixing symptoms is usually temporary, the root cause must be corrected for a more permanent fix.

What a retarded hypothetical. The vast majority of peoples problems are lifestyle induced, not genetic

With pharmaceuticals, yes, unless necessary

You don't have a chemical imbalance, you have a work ethic imbalance. If you have something that can be cured naturally with dedication and hard work then taxpayers or rate payers shouldn't subsidize your bad decisions.

What about things like depression or anxiety? Have you experienced those? And/or are you for or against drugs that would treat them? I thought it was bs before along the same thought lines “don’t be depressed, loser”. Certainly some people can just not be depressed. Some need help. My eyes have been opened and I’m more empathetic to that now. Like maybe you did need help, just because i dont doesn’t mean you didn’t.
As far as taxpayer or rate payer dollars, wouldn’t a population less prone to the complications caused by obesity be better in the long run monetarily?
Note: I’m on it on my own dime so, you’re welcome.

I'm talking about obesity. There's no reputable study that says obesity is caused by "chemical imbalances." Can years of being overweight make it a lot harder? Absolutely, but again that was caused by years of neglect and can definitely be reversed with fasting and a cleaner diet.
If you're paying for it cash, be my guest but it isn't a long term solution. Insurance regulations make it nearly impossible to charge self inflicted diseases pay more in rates so again, healthier rate payers are subsidizing obese people.

He likes to bring up unrelated hypotheticals to prove his point so he doesn't have to work hard and can just use a magic pill to temporarily solve his problems.

Calorie intake is calorie intake. If they are 200, drop to 150, and go back to 200, they would likely be 220+ without the shot. Still better off.

My wife has never eaten enough to maintain her weight much less gain weight but right after she hit menopause she gained like 30 pounds despite eating less, (which was huge for here as she weighed 115 pounds). There was definitely something going on with thyroid and her body ahd her system and they were hot on it until Covid hit.
Respectfully, you and your wife are lying. Chemical balances are an extremely minor factor. The reality is it’s calories in and calories out. Your wife was over eating and gained wait.
You had surgery, became less active, and gained weight.
Everyone wants to make up reasons but it comes down to diet and calories burned.
There’s literally not a single person that eats extremely low calories and is fat. It’s not possible.
FWIW, I could lose some weight and I could work out more. But I’m plenty active and have been very active in the past to understand.
The elite athletes, body builders, etc that take that final step to transform their body almost always do it by taking the final steps to optimize their diet.
ETA: of course people that get off the shot gain weight back. The shot literally just makes them not hungry. Once off the shot, they are hungry and eat poorly again. It’s really that simple, but no one wants to admit that.

This ultimately causss diet changes. Who eats healthier when depressed or anxious? Literally no one. People change their diets drastically due to stress, hormones, mental disorders like depression, etc. They mostly don’t want to admit it, but it’s also just no longer a priority and gets out of control quickly.
The proper diet also helps you feel better short term. I’m here saying that as a guy that just pounded damn near 2 liters of spritr with my bourbon yesterday watching college basketball. I felt like crap after and slept like crap last night. Worth it to enjoy beating bama.
It’s a lot easier to over eat and eat like crap than it is to eat healthy.

I lost about 40lbs in 6 months. Went from a 42in pants to a 36.
I stopped and gained about 5lbs over 6 weeks. I was super hungry all the time. I also quit right before the holidays so not the best timing.
Honestly the worst part for me was my digestion issues coming back after stopping. The shots really helped my digestion issues with bloating, irritable bowl, etc. I'm back on it but really just at maintenance dose to help keep those issues in check.

These shots are very common. They also cause terrible side effects.

If you are a shut-in or only know poor people that is possible but if not I guarantee you know multiple people that have used semaglutide for weight loss, particularly if you know many rich women. If you comment on their weight loss they will generally tell you something like they started pilates.

I have a friend that swears by intermittent fasting and it doesn’t work for him at all - but I don’t think he does any cardio period.

My mom takes the shot but it is for diabetes not weight loss. She has gained 12 pounds. I think she did better with blood sugar control on her previous medication.

It’s ultimately still calories in/ out. If he fasts but eats 4000 calories in 2 meals that’s worse than fewer calories in more meals.
Everyone wants to try and make up complicated and chemical reasons. When it comes down to it it’s 99.9% over eating. It sucks, but the best method to a diet is literally measuring all your food so you know almost exact calories.
This is why plans like weight watchers works, because they make measuring easier.

Gotta love the tryhards looking to shite on something good. These drugs have been around and studied for decades. It’s not something you have to stay on forever. And of course you have to do the right thing if you get off, just like with any diet.
It’s not good.
It’s a way people can be lazy.
Enjoy your Ozempic face.
