Ideally you would ditch all the junky food products and the unhealthy foods and focus on plant based and healthy fats, too - that’s for overall health and longevity.

But definitely beans in the morning will shut off your food noise and dial down appetite. I’ve been eating beans for weeks now and I can’t even eat dinner anymore, I just have breakfast and lunch and maybe a small salad or some nuts or fruit in the early evening.

Fiber is really miraculous, and very good for you!

How do you prepare the beans?

I eat them refried - vegan. I make a batch once a week and use black beans because they are overall the most nutrient dense/rich of the beans. I add onion, garlic and spices.

In a pinch when I haven’t food prepped I use Goya refried vegan black beans and I add some more garlic and spices because I like a lot of flavor.

You can eat them all kinds of ways for breakfast - mix in eggs, beans on a whole grain seeded toast, bean burrito, etc.

The more you can front load fiber into your morning meal, the more sated you will feel all day and it will really change your appetite and quiet the food noise. It really works!

Thanks, so Goya is canned black beans correct?

I also got a prescription for only 20 pounds. And I'm the pp who had to stop because it made me so sick.

The silver lining is that I was so disgusted with myself I started running again. It was really hard since I hadn't done it for a few years, but I'm now able to run 5-10 miles at once again, and I feel so strong and happy when I do it. The mood lift and general tranquil feeling I get after a long run is exactly the way it was when I was in college. I feel so much younger and healthier now. I also think my skin looks great from the exercise, which is kind of the opposite of what happened to my friends who stayed on Ozempic.

I'm truing not to sound insufferable; I would have absolutely stayed on Ozempic if it hadn't made me so ill. The side effects were really alarming. But I'm glad it worked out this way.

Also, I've lost about 15 of the 20 pounds now. And I enjoy eating a heaping plate of pasta for dinner a few times a week, which is a great pleasure for me. I guess Ozempic is not right for me.

Great work and you’re doing it the healthy way

This is exactly right.

I imagine the OP is the same ol' anti-ozempic troll.

Yes, any questioning of ozempic must be troll. We cannot raise any questions. No discussion. At this point, everybody should be on ozempic.

I don't want to write about the gross side effects I had, but they were bad enough that I stopped this drug I had badly wanted to start.

And I would not be surprised if Ozempic becomes the new fen-phen. I also remember my grandma talking about some diet med she and all her friends were prescribed in the 1960s, which was also eventually found to be really harmfiul and banned. What makes us so sure Ozempic is going to be different from those instances?

Because people have been using Ozempic for more than a decade for diabetes. Yes there can be side effects and some people can't tolerate it, but that's what your doctor needs to monitor. It sounds like your doctor/you made the right choice.
