Ozempic for Weight Loss

I didn’t know that and I just read up on it, they say 10lbs a year weight gain just from stress not extra food.

"Ozempic works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As those hormone levels rise, the molecules go to your brain, telling it you're full. It also slows digestion by increasing the time it takes for food to leave the body."

Personally I think it's pointless taking Ozempic. The body stores fat for energy, the fatter you are the more easily the body releases fat for energy since it has it stored in excess, so a fat person should never struggle to burn fat. The opposite is true when you reach really low body fat %, then the body tries to hold onto fat for critical body functions and hormonal balance and instead will slow the metabolism to offset the need to burn fat.

If you need Ozempic to lose weight when you are already over 20-30% body fat, you are mentally weak and that needs to be fixed first because you will never stay slim until you fix the core problem that is in your head. You need to change your mindset towards food and energy and what is required to burn it. For example if you jog at a moderate pace on a treadmill for 30 minutes, that will burn around 300 calories. Now go to the shopping center and see a "healthy" boost juice that's 600+ calories, this is when you have to ask yourself is this drink worth an hour run? The body is extremely efficient at using food for energy. You need to have this conversation in your head every time you consider eating optional food.

Another thing is your priority should be building muscle, losing fat alone is almost fkn pointless. The body is constantly burning and storing fat, we are fat burning organisms. Bringing your fat down alone is a short term solution, you will just put that all back on the moment you lose some discipline. The long term plan is to build muscle which is fat burning tissue. Ozempic seems counter productive to building muscle if its slowing your digesting and suppressing your appetite. If you want to suppress your appetite, eat high volume foods with low calories like steam veggies or a salad, combine that with some protein and you have a perfect meal.

Stop listening to retards that say you must cut carbs, you will lift weights like a pussy without carbs.

It depends on where you are on your weight loss journey.

No it doesn't matter where you are, you don't need it. People just want to eat stupidly then take a pill as a work around.

What’s the percentage of overweight people in Australia?

Who cares? What's the relevance?

13,000,000 people in Australia are obese as of 2022. Not everyone has strong willpower. If they’re willing to try I see no reason in not giving them the help via medication.

I don’t fall into that category so it doesn’t affect me but it concerns me.

We don’t need processed sugar for starters and it’s as addictive as heroin.

The problem with a quick fix is that its a temporary solution that has no long term benefit. You can undo the progress made with the drug the moment you get off it and go back to your old ways. In the end you have wasted money and got nothing out of it.

Developing willpower is an investment in yourself and it gets easier the more you practice it. Eventually it just becomes second nature and your normal way of life. By taking this drug you are robbing yourself of the learning experience you get by losing weight the correct way. Also its not just willpower, most people don't know the correct foods to eat for weight loss too. People will eat foods thinking it is working towards their goal of losing weight, not realising it's not actually a good option, eg. Sushi is a really bad option for weight loss.

The saying “your body is a temple” is correct. Todays society is about eating a lot of processed foods and we didn’t evolve doing that hence the obesity epidemic.

The other saying “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” is also relevant and people have to want to change.

We live in a push button society and people want a quick fix for everything. I get it and some need weight loss medication to help start them on their journey.

Big pharmaceutical companies tell them they need it so they can make money. Look at the numerous undesirable side effects of this drug, fatigue is listed as one of them. That's exactly opposite of what is needed to be active. It's just another drug for people to become dependent on.

I’ve been hearing a lot about Ozempic for weight loss lately. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a medication meant initially for diabetes, but it’s now gaining attention for helping with weight loss, too.

Some people rave about it, saying it’s helped them shed pounds, but others mention side effects like nausea or stomach issues. I’d say it’s always a good idea to talk with your doctor first to make sure it’s right for you. If you’re exploring other options like supplements, you might check out purchase steroids, but do your research to ensure everything’s safe and legit.

I was 160kg back in 2018 and now sitting at 115 lowest I got to was 110 im fighting struggling to get below 110 every time I do blow out 5-7kg.

Diet is the key I’ve tried high intensity training and cardio but never works if you just consuming high calorie foods such as kfc etc.

I took ozempic for a month didn’t find really it did much for me so I stopped. You can lose weight quickly with proper diet and excercise you don’t even have to push yourself in the gym just some resistance training and get an hour walking a day. I believe in an aggressive cut rather than .5kg a week if you are really obese.

Lots of ppl I know have done bypass surgeries which I would never consider.

Save money on fast food and use that money for a workout at Ginza and fuck hard !

They’re impressive results.

Ozempic is not the only the drug / medication for weight loss. Opioid medication does the same thing because it suppresses your appetite.
