[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The muscle loss on these drugs is brutal. That’s why the Ozempic face is so striking—weight loss plus muscle wasting. [/quote]

Weight loss shows in your face.  It has nothing to do with the drug.[/quote]

Are you contesting the muscle wasting side effect or just the widely noted Ozempic face?

[b]GLP1 patients look especially haggard compared to other weight loss patients. [/b]This look is so distinct that it’s been widely noted. That’s what you’d expect when the drug causes muscle wasting.

I can understand why pharma allies are pushing the “it’s just weight loss” stuff though. I would be too if my company had a cash cow like this![/quote]

No, they don't. Have you ever seen a bariatric surgery patient?? Losing large amounts of fat rapidly leads to muscle loss. It's just a fact, it takes a lot of work to maintain lean mass while losing fat, and even with perfect macros and strength training it's impossible to maintain 100%. That's why body builders bulk and then they cut. It happens whether you lose weight via weight loss surgery, GLP1, or any other method of severe calorie restriction that leads to rapid weight loss.

Just because People magazine or whatever has had "BEWARE OZEMPIC FACE" splashed across the cover for a few months doesn't mean there's any scientific basis to it. Use your brain.
