[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom (age 70)  is on ozempic for weight loss.

She is constantly going out for pizza and ice cream, and buying junk food for home. (More than once per week)

I thought ozempic reduces appetite? She is losing weight (5'5, 150 and dropping) but still eating this stuff. [/quote]

As a registered dietitian who works with patients on GLP1s, this makes me crazy.

Is she getting no nutrition counseling at all?[/quote]

Oh for pity's sake, she knows what a nutrient is and that ice cream and pizza have few which are nothing compared to the sugar and saturated fats she's consuming.

I respect what dieticians/nutritionists do, but you don't begin to touch on the baggage people are carrying that they are using addictive foods to self medicate away from thinking about or dealing with. OP's mother is not consuming junk to nourish her gut and brain, she's consuming junk for the dopamine rush and to try to fill the emptiness that really needs therapy of some kind whether CBT, DBT, etc.[/quote]
