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
Duromine can send people loopy. I'd recommend coffee and acetyl-l-carnitine before Duromine.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

LOL I imagine they would be wondering for sure, just tell them it's a medical device for your heart, some WLs are very sensitive about that kinda stuff (hidden cams etc), some WLs will check your glasses lolQuote:

The other day I saw a receipt for a non generic weight loss drug and it was close to $500 which is a lot but if you’re in that situation and it helps why not? I congratulate people that are trying to loose weight.
A WeChat clip I saw yesterday the woman who was 50yrs plus in age said: “ your body is your canvas, if you’re not happy with it then repaint it”.
She was right, we are in control of our bodies.
Once we realise that anything is possible.
I take ozempic for 8 months now I was kg118 now kg92 sugar 6.7 to 5.2 I pay $32 for 4 weeks
Bravo, great effort 26kg!!! Did you plateau at some stages ?
I’m going to find that receipt and see just what the brand was.
Ozempic is heavily restricted now to diabetes sufferers only. Of course the big pharmas found a way around that. They brought out exactly the same product, called it Wegovy, and private buyers can grab it without problems. Not pbs covered so you would pay a premium but if you look up Chemist Warehouse they sell it for $250 for a months course. I have a few friends that are doing this.
Great effort. I have been on Ozempic for around a year and have gone from 102kg to 86kg. I have had several periods where I simply cannot get it, and like posts in this thread it is often due to 'weight loss' demand patients, not diabetics. My 3 month blood used to be well over 10, now around 7. My pancreas does not do well at making insulin. Recently had DNA tests that indicate I have a certain 'reward' gene for eating that releases Dopamine. Thankfully missed the genes other risks of smoking, alcohol abuse and gambling.Quote:

I went up from 90 to 95 and wanted to get back down. Lost 2kg by dropping all sugars and carbs. Excess eating was a problem, going out a lot and eating things I’d never normally eat. So I’ve told my friends no eating for me if I’m going out with them.
We all have our goals and like that lady said, your body is your canvas and you can paint it how you want. Punting being the driving force behind my weight loss.
No big loss now only 200g a week. I want under 80kg and scared to stop using ozempicQuote:
