I have lost 15 pounds in 3 months thanks to compounded semiglutide. I’ve been obese most of my adult life and i am astonished every day that my life has changed so much - and it’s not all about the weight.

Really hope i continue to lose - I’ve got at least 20 pounds more to go.

Congrats! I'm on week 7, at 0.5 and down about 12 pounds. This is so good for me to hear, it hasn't been a walk in the park, lol.

Just as an encouragement to those who don't want to be on it for life. I lost over 60 lbs on Ozempic about a year and half ago and have kept it off so far.

Meant to say, I stopped taking it a year and a half ago.

I've lost 50! The worst part is seeing that I have no butt haha. I gotta start working the booty a little more.

My story is almost exactly the same. I used to think about food constantly whether I was hungry or not. Constantly thinking about what I get to eat next. Ending the food noise has been the biggest change for me.

I will say I’m nervous about maintenance when the time comes. Even though im paying for compounded instead of name brand out of pocket, I’m still not sure I want this expense for the rest of my life. I guess time will tell.

Congrats to you all on your weight loss!

It think it’s important to get it off in any medically approved safe way that works for you.

But beyond cost, given the various health risks (newest reported is an increased risk in eye strokes resulting in partial blindness), I hope some of you will consider ways you can change your lifestyle to maintain the weight loss without taking these drugs forever.

Chuck Carroll is host of The Exam Room, a podcast of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine which focuses on eating for health and as much plant based as possible. It’s a great resource. Carroll lost a few hundred pounds following weight loss surgery, and maintains it by following a plant based diet and moving his body for physical as well as mental health.

Eating a high fiber diet is the only way to cultivate a truly healthy gut biome which then produces an abundance of short chain fatty acids that are critical to overall health in the body.

Eating less of a diet poor in nutrition will result in weight loss, and carrying less weight improves health - but only a truly healthy diet will result in overall excellent health.

Forgot to say - eating a high fiber diet, especially daily consumption of legumes, compels the gut biome to trigger the hormone production that signal satiety and the end of the food noise and cravings. A high fiber diet is nature’s semaglutide and fiber is much cheaper and doesn’t have negative side effects.

Avoid sugar that is stripped of fiber - sugar without fiber is metabolic poison in the body and drives overconsumption as well.

I’ve been on Zepbound a couple months and it’s done nothing for me. Just started 7.5 a week ago and was hopeful but zilch.

You’ve posted this before in many other GLP-1 threads. We know.

This is off-putting.

But don’t these medications eventually stop suppressing hunger?

It’s a life saving and life improving message and many folks don’t, in fact, know - the average American consumes less than 1/2 the RDA of fiber, and that RDA is around 1/3 the average historical human consumption of fiber. We are made to eat fiber and fiber makes our gut healthy in a way that is linked to all other aspects of our health from sleep to cancer prevention.

Lots of people know the Good News, but that’s no reason to stop spreading it.
