It reduces appetite. So, self control is not a thing anymore
This is NOT for people who cannot control what they put in their mouths. It is for people who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
Surgeons are salivating by all of the surgeries of excess skin they are going to be doing. The issue is that by dropping weight so fast, your skin is going to be saggy. If you were excessing, building muscle, and slowly dropping weight, it would be different. Also, is this even safe? And is this sustainable or are they going to have to use this drug for ever?
It almost killed me 2 months ago, made my kidneys shut down after my 3rd shot! But Ive lost 33 lbs since on my own! Just be very aware of any pains that don’t seem right and report immediately to your doctor!
Yeah if you wanna get thyroid cancer
The gym is better
I asked my Dr to do an fasting insulin test on me because I was not loosing weight dispite eating one time in 24?hrs omad and. After asking twice she did have the test done and my result was that I was about 3.56 from being at the high rang. However I was also drinking ACV in water twice a day . Since this helps insulin resistance I’m sure I would have scored higher. I asked for a continuous Glucose monitor. She didn’t think I needed one. I think I do . I’m 77 at 193 and have been keto for a year and carnivore for 4 months. Why don’t Drs care or hear when patients speak up for them selves. Next time I’ll demand what I want. After all that’s why I have insurance.
Not for obese people. They are hogging it from a diabetic who needs it more then they do
I put 8 pound of already being off
Personal trainers are face palming at all these people jumping on another weight loss bandwagon. Ozempic is gonna go down like Dexatrim and Ephedra
It does work I lost 15 kg in 5 months!
obesity is a disease. people should not be shamed for wanted to lose weight and get their health back on track. there’s nothing “vain” about wanting to not be 50 pounds overweight. our bodies get addicted to sugar and food and it’s extremely difficult to stop eating. there should be no stigma about wanting to lose weight!!!
this drug is poison it gave me ED
