Exactly this.

People don't realize that much of the weight loss you get via Ozempic is muscle loss, much more than usual. Big no no.

“People” do realize that this is a possibility with any weight loss. That’s why it is recommended that you incorporate a strength training and exercise program. Being on zepbound has let me get there. I could not exercise consistently at my previous weight. It is life changing.

Just wanted to add…I rode a bike yesterday! On the road! Kept my balance and wasn’t embarrassed to be a fat girl on a bike. I could have cried.

Of course they realize. Sheesh. This is why exercising is important along with meds.

my insurance won’t cover it. I’m obese.

You just need to maintain a protein heavy diet to maintain muscle.

There's a huge difference. With Ozempic you lose much more weight/ muscle and much much faster. There's no way some strength training and exercise is going to help much, unless undertaken as an Olympian effort.

What you're describing is not how bodies work. You have to eat less to lose weight: Ozempic makes that easier but it does not by itself cause any weight (or muscle) loss. Meanwhile the weight loss is allowing people to exercise who didn't previously, so they're adding muscle over their baseline. For your theory to be true, they'd have to be losing muscle faster than they're adding it.

Take a fat person who didn't work out. They lose 50 lbs while adding exercise. You really think much of that 50 lbs is muscle? Be serious.

(She mentioned to doc that she was unhappy with the 10 pounds she had gained due to menopause, yet has always been thin, even with the 10 pounds.) Do I live under a rock? Is this really prescribed so freely? I thought users had to be morbidly obese? FYI - Friend wisely said, "no thanks."

I call BS. Doctors are being way too loose and free with these medications, but not for 10 lbs.

Curious- how does it affect your mood? Or do you mean indirectly just because you lost weight?

You need a prescription. Call your doctor.

Yes, obviously. Not what I asked.

You just made this up, right out of your bottom, with no evidence, no experience and no qualifications.

Why would you do that? What is your motivation? As yourself that. It’s a terrible thing to make these chicken little claims for no reason other than to scare people awa from a miraculous achievement in medicine that is helping so many.

Are you just uninformed and careless? Or worse? I am trying to be nice here and not assume you have bad intentions or are just an a$$hole.

Apparently gut hormones are connected to serotonin, so these meds can act like SSRIs!

Congratulations! There is something about bike riding in the summer that feels so freeing and youthful.

You have no clue what you are talking about.
Semaglutide removes food cravings making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit. The deficit someone has is up to them. I’ve been losing a pound a week because I am choosing to go for a slow weight loss and eat around 1500 calories a day.
