If you took Semaglutide/Ozempic, when did you notice a difference?

You might not get there as it’s not a weight loss drug. It controls blood sugar.

What are you talking about? Semaglutides are absolutely weight loss drugs.

That's why they are prescribed to diabetics to control blood sugar, right?

Hello? Knock knock anybody home? They are also prescribed very widely and also FDA approved to control obesity.

Not a news flash, welcome to 2023.

One pound a week should be very doable without medication.

How did you get the scrip for it?

Lololol! If that were the case these meds would not exist.

It’s called laziness. Most people want it strictly for weight loss. Ridiculous.

Maybe this will help those who are 400+ lbs.

What’s so “ridiculous” about using a medication to lose weight? Why are you so emotionally invested?

Why? Please explain. Why shouldn’t they? Do you believe people shouldn’t need a pill to lower cholesterol or blood pressure? Because that can be done naturally as well. I mean hell why treat diabetics at all? They can just change their diet and reverse it.

There isn't anything ridiculous about it. It changes the way the body and the brain works. A GLP-1 is just as valuable as an SSRI. Not everyone's chemistry is identical.

I’d like the ridiculous poster to explain what’s so ridiculous.

immediately. Everyone is different, though. I stopped drinking and cut out all foods that are incompatible with the drug. I’ve lost 2 lb per week

That’s why other weight loss strategies have like an 85% failure rate.

Let's talk about the 'ridiculous' poster as though s/he isn't here.

I'm betting they are a fitness instructor or nutritionist or other sort of 'wellness' professional that sees the prospect of their business dying with weight loss drugs.

Or, maybe they are a person who lost significant weight and now has made that their identity (not incompatible with option 1).

People really hate fat people. It’s wild.

My guess is someone who has endured a lot of psychological pain internalizing messages about hardcore calorie restrictions. Lots of dieting, food scales, and self-loathing. If the medicine works safely, all of that pain was meaningless. Therefore the medicine must be immoral and/or dangerous.

Yeah but I went through a lot of psychological pain internalizing messages and dieting, and I think the medication is a gd miracle. It’s one of the great joys of my life right now to think that if my young child struggles with weight and blood sugar the way I have, there may be an alternative to the constant diet cycle and self-loathing.
