People are always looking for an easy fix.
If you are morbidly obese then yes for sure you need to take drastic action and any drug or surgery will be good for you.
But if you just have a beer gut, or carrying a few extra kilos then the solution is the same boring shit we don't want to hear but we all know we have to do.
Stop or reduce alcohol, stop junk food, stop processed food, stop snacking, do some exercise, lift some weights etc etc.
This boring shit actually works!
To make it more interesting, I recommend ppl make a program where for each day that involves no snacks and junk food, equals one punt reward.
It's available through underground similar to how I get a hold of Cialias and Viagra but I can't PM you.
I would actively encourage you to hit the gym and track your food first and then track your steps as you'll get much more benefit out of that than Ozempic however combining will yield great results after 3 months.
FYI the studies in groups losing double digit weight loss were longer term use with a higher dose than what everyone starts on so you have to be prepared to sink some time and money into it to yield results.
People are just lazy, all these "supplements" have some kind of penalty you will have to pay. Stop being a little bitch and just go work out, nothing worse than being a basic man and you know all the girls are thinking this when they see you naked.
If you've got a good doctor, get on the duromine....It works,
and also helps motivate you to do your exercising which to be honest, you dont really need to over do it, you just need to be moving or do something active as much as possible. Oh, contrary to what tcrawford said coffee is actually a massive bonus
Meat and eggs and veg 2x per week. You need to workout.
What about the rest of the week? That's everyday food for me.
In 2022, the US accounted for 65% of world wide sales of Ozempic. 39 billion DKK out of 60 billion DKK total sales.

I think the technical term for that is "intermittent fasting", yes it definitely works, but it's not easy, but it's still way better than those 'miracle' weight loss drugs, doing it the natural way is always better, i.e. exercise + calorie control.
Another thing I wanna add, if you lose too much weight too quickly, your hormones may crash and your sex drive will tank...do it slowly and consistently.
Just look after yourself and don't get fat in the first place. Prevention is always better than the cure as they say
intermittent fasting in itself is a form of calorie restriction (in most cases), depending on what kind of fasting window you wanna use, the larger fasting window will typically result in greater calorie deficit The topic of diet/nutrition and exercise for weight loss is a massively complicated topic (hormonal response, metabolism, autophagy, mTOR reduction etc) so let's just leave it at that
It's harder to build build muscle with intermittent fasting and if you are starting out you are better to lock in those newbie gains ASAP, the more muscle you have the higher your metabolic rate is. Intermittent fast is just going to make you skinny with no muscle. Sure you can build some muscle in the newbie gain phase by just hitting your daily protein count in the eating window but its not going to be optimal for protein synthesis.
You can easily hit 12% body fat with just walking 10,000 steps a day, resistance training (keep it simple with a compound upper and lower split) and not eating crap.
Anyone here wears a HR monitor chest strap during punts? There was one WL who thought I had some sort of hidden camera device.
Intermittent fasting is just a tool, of course it's not going to automatically reduce calories (also if you pig out nothing will work...), but the idea behind IF is that it will drastically reduce your feeding window so it's EXTREMELY hard to overeat, try eating 3000+ calories in one single meal (OMAD), it's doable but much more difficult (specially if you include lots of vegetable, salads, nut/seeds/fibre, whole grains etc), if someone spreads that meal throughout the day then it becomes much more easier to overeat (let's face it it's not easy for newbies to follow a strict plan), so the multiple small meals theory is flawed if your main goal is weight loss, don't get me wrong it can still be done but with fasting it's just that much easier, there are also other benefits to fasting such as autophagy, improved gut health (assuming you don't pig out of course), improved blood sugar, better insulin sensitivity etc which has everything to do with weight management and better body composition, even longevity.
Exercise is also an important factor, but I won't get into details on which type of exercises are best etc, they all serve different purposes (muscle hypertrophy, strength, endurance, VO2 max etc), when it comes to exercise, consistency is key, just like anything else in life, without consistency even the best plan will fail, consistency trumps everything, of course the simple/general answer to a noob is always to clean up your diet, exercise more etc, which will always work if they stick to it.
