I was on Ozempic for 2 months. I told my doctor that it felt like a daily hangover. Headache and nausea. I’ve gone in the direction of behavioral health. Understanding why I overeat and consciously opting for healthy long term eating habits. Down 25 pounds so far.
Congratulations! That's awesome ❤
It’s hard, but it’s the BEST way to do it. Most people who say they “tried exercise and diet” only did it for a month or 2 and gave up.
@@Niecy70 thank you! Down 30lbs now. About 5lbs a month. No rush.😊
Refined carbohydrates, i.e. sugar is the culprit.
Great job 👏🏻 keep it up❤
I’m on ozempic for over a year and i can now stop eating when I want and cravings are barely there. However I always include protein in all my meals because it’s common sense whenever you are in a caloric deficit you need enough protein. I also train 2-3 times a week in the gym. So far everything’s working fine, no muscle loss
How much weight loss though?
@@Chefboysrt I’ve lost about 17kg
@@ChefboysrtI lost 35 lbs while gaining muscle on Wegovy.
Wegovy works.
@@Chefboysrt 32 pounds
I have lost some muscle. But what I gained in mobility, energy, and losing my addiction and dependence on food and alcohol way outweighs the cons of the drug. It’s saved my life. I was suicidal
❤so glad to hear it has helped so significantly
Agree and if you make sure you eat high protein and fibre and exercise then I don’t think it’s a given ?
You only lost the fatty tissue within your muscles and not the protein. This woman doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
Right but you being suicidal is the effect of you being so addicted not willing to change your ways
It’s not starvation weight loss. I’m not starving. This helps me stay on track and focus on exercise and weight lifting. My muscles look great, my joints hurt less, inflammation has gone down, and my blood pressure is lower. Be careful, and follow clean nutrition and exercise.
It should be prescribed with a weight loss plan : high protein and exercise and education. Prescribed responsibly to the right patient
Yes. Most doctors are failures and do not help properly, especially not with information
This is what my dr did. 3x weight lifting per week, low dosage, and a moderate calorie deficit focused on protein. It’s a tool, not just an excuse to eat 1000 calories per day
But no way to enforce those stipulations
@@carrottop673 yes, just like literally any other medicine that should come with other behaviors. People take psych meds and drink or operate heavy machinery all of the time. At least with this, you're only hurting yourself if you do something wrong.
@@carrottop673its not a doctor's job to enforce their patient's healthy decisions, it's their job to provide patients with the tools and education they need to be successful. That's it. Enforcement is your own business.
I am on Ozempic. I eat a high protein diet, always protein first, and I exercise every night for between 15 and 45 minutes doing walking videos online. I was warned about the muscle loss and was told to combat that by high protein diet and exercise daily. I take it for blood sugar control, but I have also been slowly losing around 2 pounds a week. I find that with my blood sugar levels controlled, I don't crave sugary foods and starchy foods like I used to. It's not a magic pill, just a tool that you must use with other tools to achieve the best results.
Yes
Protein can’t build muscles unless you work out properly, walking won’t do sorry
@@emyly9206 I have now upgraded to doing weight machines that excercise my legs and arms too. I do about 20-25 minutes on the treadmill at an incline and fast walk (around 2.4 speed). I also do the weight machines that show which body part they exercise. I am no pro at working out, that's for sure. However, I want to minimize the muscle loss while losing weight. I was 345 pounds in May when I started this journey and I am now 311 in September, which is a 34 pound loss that my body badly needed. My next goal is to get under 300. Ozempic is helping me but it does have side effects. Being as heavy as I was though, the benefit of losing those 34 pounds is worth the risks. My A14 is back to normal too. The problem is that people treat it like a magic pill that will help them lose 10 pounds but this is a serious medication with serious side effects.
@@SunQueen800 what about walking with heavy rucksack or hillwalking?
@@Macgee826 Thanks for commenting with that suggestion! Good idea. I have stepped up my exercise game. I now walk at a 14-15 incline at 2mph for 30 minutes, then do strength training on my arms and legs at the gym to increase muscle, but when I get fit enough, I will try going up in the mountains and hike near my house. I am still on semiglutide, now at the 1.7mg shot a week. It still suits me very well, I have no nausea, no constipation, and it really stops my hunger. I began at 343 pounds and this morning I was down to 308.8. I've been on it for 4 months now, so that is 36 pounds down. I see my doctor every month and he says that I am likely losing just fat because of how much I've been working out. I work out at least an hour at a time, between 3-5 days a week. I stay active as I teach Kindergarten too, lol. So it has been a game changer for me, though for certain it doesn't work for everyone and many people have bad side effects.
For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert.
For real! Everybody knows more than everybody else
Check out evil food supply ozempic is a scam it shows the fake truth about the drug an how those who don’t have diabetes or thyroid problems should not take it
Yeah but dude, holy cow, do you understand what she’s saying? The only people who I know who defend using that drug for weight loss are people who are desperate for a shortcut and the people that are selling it. And by its very design, by the actions it takes in your body, what she is saying is not deniable. That’s exactly what this is doing to people. There is almost nothing more important to longevity than your muscle mass. They are doing horrible damage to their body looking for a shortcut.
💯💯💯
Well said brother.
How about being 436 pounds? I went on Manjuro and have lost 135lbs? It literally save my life!
Did you have a health condition that stopped you from losing wight? If not then it’s the fact you eat less that helped.
@@frillylily8005 I have been over weight most of my life! My family is big so guess it is more of genetics than anything else!
You was already pre diabetic so that’s why it helps you. Most people taking it are not even close to being diabetic like you. They’re just taking it for the superficial reasons
I think she is gearing this video towards people who are not obese but want an easy way to lose a few pounds.
@@KC_Pittman it either the easy way or no way.
Yes, that's why these celebs don't look toned, they look emaciated
They wanna look like that. Body dysmorphia
And alllll dried out because they are !
Cause they are not adding in strength training with it
And Ozempic reduces muscle mass.@@davidbright8978
@@davidbright8978 Are you on Ozempic?
I bet it's very difficult to do when your digestion shuts down and your never hungry. It's hard to have energy ⚡ when your not fueling your body.
I’m on it and it’s helping me because I’m insulin resistant and have high blood pressure. I’m losing weight slowly, working with a trainer for weight lifting, eating protein, my blood pressure is better and I also do not plan to stay on it. I’m also making better choices with food. With my insulin resistance, I can’t lose no matter what I do and this is helping me personally. There are side effects, but mine hasn’t been too bad.
This “doc” is totally wrong. I’ve lost 80 pounds on Ozempic but have consistently exercised and my muscle mass is much healthier than ever. My A1C is now normal and my blood sugar is now around 105 on average.
If you were a type 2 diabetic or pre diabetic then the Ozembic was exactly for you.
Because you consistently exercised.
Yes. Dude, same here. Lost 35 pounds and had moderate gains at the gym.
It’s baloney - instead of eating 2 big meal servings the patient is now eating half or 3/4 of a regular meal. It doesnt take much common sense to make sure you’re getting some protein/carb/fat with the small meal.
Thank god you are saying that. I just started Ozempic today.
I am diabetic and Ozempic has helped me so much...losing the weight is just the gift that comes with it. I take vitamins also ... no muscle mass lost yet...
Exactly like my spouse but then one day it all changed. Now he looks almost gaunt.
That's because it's a medication for diabetics. It's not supposed to be taken for just weight loss.
@@Beginnerreadsthebible ? He is diabetic that's why it was prescribed to him.
From what several of my friends and coworkers experienced it seemed like a paid for eating disorder. None of them had the desire to eat and if they did they were all running to the bathroom for one end or another. After watching that happen to them, I decided to go old school and go to a bootcamp in the morning and watch my macros. I'm a month in and down 8 pounds. I'm good with that.
Amen sister. So proud of you for doing it the tried and true way. 💓🙏🏼
thats great - i just took myself off ozempic - after 3 mos - i couldn't take the side effects anymore -
Good for you!
(But by far DIET is the most important thing for healthy long term weight loss. I would encourage you to watch Dr. Shawn Baker and others who essentially say: “Get off most/all carbohydrates!” The fact is carbs taste great! If you look at the Navajo Nation, 50% have diabetes. Fry bread is cheap and a staple and tastes delicious but is horrible for health.
Mouth pleasure through food? Or long term health? It’s really quite simple. But I would say most Americans get more pleasure daily from food rather than any other thing. I get it.
Diet, diet, diet comes first…
Look up Dr. Shawn Baker and all the people who have lost 100+ pounds and gotten off meds…
But giving up carbs is HARD because carbs are delicious.
Thats what I'm saying , good for u. My moms trying to convince me to take it and offered to pay for it. I really just want to lose weight by eating healthier and exercising.
Moronic. My dad lost over 100 lbs at 80 yo after a lifetime of chronic obesity. He threw away his BP meds he'd been on for 40 years and now walks without a walker.
It shouldn't be prescribed for ppl who have 10 lbs to lose but people who really need it and have struggled for years- it is 100% a miracle.
Was that on the standard dosage?
That's not normal though. The danger always exists.

@@rudociliak6683 Cope, life in itself is dangerous
@@naegleriafowleri2230 you sound stupid 🙄
I’m on Ozempic for weight loss and the best part about it is that I’m no longer consumed with thoughts about food. I still eat 3 meals a day and have barely experienced any nausea! Never actually thrown up! I do like that I’m losing a little weight but the lightening of my mental load has made it sooo worth it
Congratulations
Me too. I've lost 75 pounds in about 16 months. I never starved
You didn't lose weight. The drug you are on caused fat loss. Not the same
@@Psalm-yg6yiwho owned the fat? And who hasn’t got the fat any longer? So therefore it’s pretty simple the owner of the fat has lost said fat all be it with the help of medicine
@@scraggs11 Agreed 💯 I think some people are just resentful of others who can afford to get the medicine.
I’m old. I’ll take the risk
People really need to do their own research on Ozempic. (If they really need it for weight loss). Ozempic is a GLP1 receptor agonist. GLPR1 receptors send the I am full single to the brain. ( this is a very simple explanation). Some people do not produce enough of this, and thus need a boost. That’s what Ozempic aids. It is extremely important to remember that Ozempic is just one part of a weight loss strategy, and should only be taken by people that are willing to eat a healthy diet and exercise. If you aren’t willing to put in the work and make the changes to your lifestyle, of course Ozempic won’t work, and the moment you stop taking it you will totally gain all the weight plus more back.
You won’t gain the weight back if you use the time you’re doing the med to change your eating habits and learn how to have a different lifestyle. For me it’s about portion control and exercise as well as stress management. I’ve stopped taking it for 3 weeks and had no problem with sticking with my diet and plan. No weight gain. You can’t take the med and carry on with your old ways. I guess you could but what’s the point? I have had not one bad side effect. Have felt great and have lost 55 lbs so far. Have another 20-30 to go. I intend to continue to keep learning and to stay healthy. This has gotten me over the hump!!! Love it!!!
There are many ways to help ensure satiety that don't involve artificially agonizing a receptor.
@user-zo5tp8vd6z I'm seeing way too many people on these gpl-1 shots not doing that though, they continue to eat poorly, not moving their body, keeping the same habits, but replying on the medication way too much. Let's just get it out there, some people want the easy way out without putting the work in.
@@KihmJones Thank you for sharing your story. I am starting Ozempic next week. My goal is to lose 30lb prior to an ankle surgery so I don't stress the rest of my body by bearing extra weight while I heal from my surgery. It will be a temporary medication.
What the doctor mentions in the video regarding "starvation" and loss of muscle mass is a result of how ozempic significantly slows down the digestive process to the point you are essentially starving yourself as you are not digesting and absorbing food normally, while not feeling hungry. It will be very difficult to put that muscle back on. It seems like a trade-off between health risks.
You’re sensationalizing this. Lift weights and consume protein to lessen muscle loss.
She specifically mentioned older patients, because it will directly impact their longevity. It was originally marketed for diabetes, and those people need to hear this too.
thank you. click bait f*ckery, nothing more.
Problem is, many don't want to do that, particularly women. There seems to be this unfounded fear in the female population that lifting weights will make them masculine, when in turn nothing could be further from the truth.
No concreate evidence that would work. Ozempic slows gastric emptying, so your body is not getting proper nutrition, including that protein
@@serenityrising6723she said especially, meaning younger people can be at risk to this too, and honestly I see what she’s saying but it seems slightly misleading.
Yes, if you don’t make ANY additional lifestyle changes you will rapidly lose muscle mass. But as this person said consuming plenty of protein and working out and basically giving those muscles the attention they need will help negate this affect. All forms of weight loss will basically make you lose muscle it’s just about minimizing it
I've had diabetes for nearly 20 years now. I am also quite obese. I've avoided all weight loss drugs....but now it's time to tackle the problem. I need Ozempic now.
Get Zepbound instead if you can. Works four ways and has two hormones. It’s better!
Cut all white foods out... dairy, anything with white flour, anything with sugar of any kind. Look into carnivore. Lions Diet. It is amazingly healing. I was addicted to sweet tea and I dropped 10 pounds in my first week without sweet tea!! Sugar, white flour, fried foods and dairy cause inflammation and bloating. Cut those foods out and inflammation decreases and it feels amazing. Dr Ken Berry, Makayla Jordanson speak all about carnivore and there's many others that teach about the benefits of it.
but you will always be a faddie at heart
@@bragiodinsen4604
better than being a rude immature clown🤡
People are speaking negativity about this medication. Before I got on Semiglutide I tried ever diet, fast and workout. I was pre diabetic. I had tingling feet and hands, high BP, headaches daily, could barely see, my BMI numbers were horrible and I was at my heaviest at 202-205 lbs. I had breathing problems and snoring while sleeping but when I started using Semiglutide I lost 38 lbs, no tingling in my hands and feet, no feeling of being sluggish, much more energy and can breathe better. Also I had no issues with my eyes with feeling like I can't see much. BP is good and better yet, I got that stubborn weight off. I did all of this without working out. Let people pray about it and see if it's for them.
I didn't do Ozempic I did Rybelsus and it was amazing. Was on it for about 6 months. Lost about 30 lbs and I'm keeping it off. You learn to eat better and eat smaller portions. Don't eat to get full, eat to not be hungry. Due to the delay in signal transmission between the stomach and brain you will be over full if you eat till you actually feel full. If you feel the least bit full STOP EATING. I don't care how much is still on the plate. This was a BIG thing I had to learn and still occasionally struggle with. Eyes bigger than the stomach. Portion control. Eat several times a day, smaller portions. It works for most. Just takes freat discipline and will power. I fully understand it may not work for everyone for various reasons. I can only speak for myself and my experience
Here's what I don't get. You're doing all the work you normally need to do to lose weight. So why do you need the drug?
@redshed2020 that's just it. Before the drug I wasn't. The drug helped me realize part of what I was doing wrong to my body. Plus because I didn't feel hungry as often I wasn't eating when I didn't need to. Eating/snacking between meals is bad and most people do it. People also eat out of boredom and that stopped when I was on the drug. You don't get the cravings for junk.
@@redshed2020 I have spent my whole life going from normal weight to obese and back again. What happens is I'm prone to gaining weight, because the American diet - whether it be McDonald's or donuts, or bagels, or whatever, it triggers me to eat. This is not possible to understand unless you have the condition, because everyone gets hungry, everyone wants to eat. Everyone likes a donut. But the brains mental harassment is so great, that it eventually wins. Anyway, I also go back to normal weight and keep it off for years. It's like an addiction, I can be addicted to exercise. But I can also be addicted to donuts. Sometimes I can switch up the addiction, but not at will. It's too long a post to explain. But with ozempic, AT WILL, I can switch back into the good groove. Yes, it still takes diet and exercise, but without the harassment that my brain would otherwise be handing me, I can do it in peace.
Comprehensible 👍👍👍
I’m on ozempic and have been for 4 months. I have not had any side effects except for weight loss. I was concerned about muscle mass loss but have continued to exercise while losing weight, which is now 15 pounds
Check out evil food supply ozempic is a scam
I'm diabetic. My doctor started me on Ozempic 3 weeks ago. I still excercise at least 3 days a week. Last scale check I was down 3lbs. I have noticed a huge drop in my energy levels in the early afternoon since starting the med. I wonder if that is a side effect?
You can lose 14 lbs in 4 months without ozempic , but people don't want to put in the work.
@didilom564 I have worked out and ate the right. I am diabetic and have blood sugar disregulation. Ozempic is prescribed to help stabilize my blood sugar.
@@didilom564No so. Many people have misfires within the body. Meaning the body doesn't trigger properly and body doesn't budge.
I was on ozempic for 6 weeks. It made me feel miserable! I was nauseous, headache, constipated, then it affected me mentally. I felt super overwhelmed every day. I stopped taking it and am doing much better.
Sounds a lot like the Statins and blood pressure meds!
@@ianstuart5660 I’m not on either.
And those are the minor side effects…..
Same for me
Also led to depression
I dodged the Phen Phen bullet 20 years ago. I thank God for that!
I have a friend who has heart valve damage from Phen Phen.
Me too. Thank God.
Phentermine is back in vogue. It’s half of Phen Phen and supposedly safe by itself. My hair stylist is on it.
My mother was on phen phen and it damaged her heart, she was eventually put in oxygen and when covid hit (after vaccine and two boosters) she passed away from it; she wasn't healthy enough to fight it off; 77 years old and very sick for the last 25 years of it.
i dont believe any covid stuff on the internet.. SORRY. its not you its me!! LOL!
i am on phentermine right now, it is safe under a doctors care. its been re evaluated from what it was. all you people freak out, you are all dying anyways. if your phat you need to lose weight or you die...
I'm a type 2 diabetic, and I take ozempic 2 MG. Along with that I'm drinking protein shakes, and green vitamin shakes. I'm not starving nor losing muscle mass.
I have literally tried everything you can think of. I can’t lose weight because of my insulin resistance so I’m willing to give this a try.
@lenc3970 Your insulin resistance goes away when you give up simple carbs and sugar. You still can have legumes, a potato with your biggest meal, a couple of corn tortillas. But understand, wheat flour and almost all flours will keep you pumped up in insulin, even if your glucose is sort of ok. There are no magic pills, specially when said magic pill causes bowel atrophy and muscle loss. Furthermore, changing habits will be much more cost effective. It is hard but doable. Hope you succeed. 😊
Beides wird ihr helfen, erst ozempic und gleichzeitig lernen sich anders zu ernähren. Aber der Gewichtsverlust hilft dem Körper erstmal ‼️
Fasting
Get your hormones checked too. I'm not diabetic or insulin resistant, but still gained so much visceral fat while eating at a deficit! It was low estrogen for me. Might be testosterone if you are a man.

🔴 Ok Google: remember me to watch this video in 15 years
Remember, TH-cam is part of Google and they are both part of the globalist cabal, so not only will they not remind you to rewatch this, they will scrub all evidence of this video and of the very existence of Ozempic!
😂
Loving my results on mounjaro. If we don’t loose the weight, we’ve already lost longevity. Without some weight loss most of us are not able to exercise. I’ll take my chances. Down 15pounds and looking forward to going hiking again in a few weeks for the first time in years.
Sounds like these drugs may be a good fit for people who are obese. The overweight and those who want to lose 15 or 20 lbs total should do it the old fashioned way.
Are people not able to walk? Serious question. I understand that with yo-yo dieting over the years people can struggle with metabolism and experience all kinds of joint pain when exercising but if 15 lb is standing in between you hiking and not being able to exercise at all it just seems like maybe you could have exercised
@@44DimensionSeven As someone who has struggled with weight since my twenties, it's not always about not being active or overeating. I also have PCOS and severe insulin resistance. Before Ozempic I was leading an active life, roller skating, kayaking, biking, swimming, etc. I have kids and am very much active in their lives. However, even the carnivore diet didn't help me, so I let my doc talk me into this drug. Worst decision ever. Since the second day, I have been physically unable to do anything I did prior to taking these shots. I cannot eat food, I can barely handle any liquid other than water, I feel as if I am going to pass out just going to the store. I know that some people are just lazy and want an easy fix. But there are also those that have literally tried everything (and stuck to it, as the previous poster stated) with no results. I understand the desire to try it. Even my doctors raved about it.
@@44DimensionSevenSeriously? You can't understand that people have physical injuries or situations that keep them from being able to walk a distance? Ya that happens a lot.
@@butterflygirl3359 There is a problem with that logic. Forcing people to become obese before you give them the drug, is the worst possible use of the drug. If we knew with certainty that someone was going to become obese, it'd make more sense to head it off. If you wait until you are obese you have to be on the drug much longer, and at higher doses. And an obese person that is taking the drug successfully, won't be obese, they'll be overweight, and then only need 15lbs and then be normal weight - and os on, when do you plan to yank the working treatment out of their hands? People aren't born obese, they become obese. Btw, none of the problems she is describing would occur to someone being on the drug for 2 months at the lowest dose to lose 15lbs. This happens to someone that is on the drug long term and not following the diet and exercise plan - although the number of people that don't follow the exercise plan is huge, so they should be aware that it is the wrong choice to ignore exercise.
I love the medicine. I have always lift some weights. I have lost 85 pounds and feel better than I have felt in 39 years
Please keep your health education going! People need to hear this. I have patients who get MAD with me when I don't prescribe it to them. 😢👋🏽👨🏽⚕️
This is massively misleading. I have been on ozempic for two months. I get regular body scans to check fat loss and skeletal muscle mass. I have lost 18lbs of fat and maintained my muscle mass. This is because, in addition to clean eating I lift weights 3x per week, run 2mi or more 2x a week, and take reformer pilates classes 2-3x per week. I was already doing all of this prior to the drug, but I struggled to control my eating habits. Ozempic is an aid to weight-loss. It is not some magical solution.
I'd like to point out that I tend not to take medical advice from random people online. Talk to a real doctor if you have concerns. Know that just because someone is wearing a white coat infront of a camera, that doesn't mean they are an authority on what they are talking about.
Yet many doctors fooled everyone regarding the v
Are you in your 20s or 30s? I’m in my 40s and I can’t lose more muscle mass as I am getting older.
@@nonewcontent1883 I am 54 on ozempic, and gaining muscle mass. I cycle 6 hours a week, and do heavy lifting at the gym. The phenomena of gaining muscle while being in caloric deficit is real enough - but, it is mostly only true for untrained athletes. If someone was a very successful body builder, they would likely lose mass in caloric deficit, but untrained people make gains because they are coming from a lower basis. This has nothing to do with the doctors point, she is talking about elderly people. In your 40s your haven't had any significant decline in your top end potential. That really accelerates in your 60's and later.
You just admitted you struggle to control your eating. Therefore your not using the drug as an aid to weight loss. Please get off ozempic and seek counseling.
@@nonewcontent1883 I'm putting on muscle and I'm older than you. Its not impossible. Its not as easy as when younger but its still possible with right diet and effective training.

I’ve benefited greatly from Keto food plan, IF, eating during day light hours, checking my glucose, measuring my ketones, enjoying ketones for fuel, weight training and aerobic exercise, red-light therapy, write down everything I eat, weigh daily,cold plunges and the like. I eat sardines twice a week. I love the suggestion to keep it simple and eat sardines. However! My doctor prescribed Mounjaro because I was pre-diabetic with a fatty liver. I could only do 8 weeks because my insurance doesn’t cover it. Those eight weeks have been amazing! It has helped unlock weight loss that I can do with the other methods. I think it kicked and with all the other habits I’ve developed I believe I can keep it off. If I could get another 4 to 8 weeks on Mounjaro , I would do it. It stops the food chatter. For me, it took away the desire. This has been helpful.
This is wrong to give people this advice not to take this medicine you can maintain your muscle by working out you will lose muscle even with just dieting the medicine doesn’t make you lose muscle. The reason you lose muscle is because you don’t eat enough protein and you don’t exercise. The medicine is not burning muscle, lol this medicine has helped me tremendously. I did keto I did low-carb I did and still doing low-carb in Keto keeping my protein up and this medication has helped me break my stall. When nothing else would.
Amphetamine does the same!!
look into compounded, or research grade.
all u had to do was stay off sugar, especially fruit... fructose,.. no need for ozempic
pre diabetic isn't diabetes type 1
diet fixes everything eventually
It depends on how severe the excess weight already is. Little to no chance of being pain-free and sports are almost impossible except swimming, which is very expensive here, too often causes cystitis. Wegovy can save lives
Obesity is dangerous as well. I mean, dont use it if youre just trying to lose a few pounds for vanity, but i think if you see a doctor and you weigh the risk vs the risk of staying obese, youll make your own informed decision.
Thank you. I'm so tired of people speaking negativity about this medication. Before I got on Semiglutide, I was pre diabetic. I had tingling feet and hands, high BP, headaches daily, could barely see, my BMI numbers were horrible and I was at my heaviest at 202-205 lbs. I had breathing problems and snoring while sleeping but when I started using Semiglutide I lost 38 lbs, no tingling in my hands and feet, no feeling of being sluggish, much more energy and can breathe better. Also I had no issues with my eyes with feeling like I can't see much. BP is good and better yet, I got that stubborn weight off. I did all of this without working out. Let people pray about it and see if it's for them.
She’s saying it’s bad cause she’s promoting her keto content and wants to expand and oxempic eating into her influence on eating.
Like she said, check back in 15 years. You better be lifting weights while on Ozempic or you'll be wasting away to a weak shell of yourself

I can't even get my Ozempic because it's always on back order. Same for Trulicity. Gonna ask my dr tomorrow to see about rybelsus the oral form of Ozempic. Everyone is getting the injection so there should be plenty of the oral. I am diabetic and Ozempic helped me get my alc level down, my blood pressure down and yeah some weight not as much as people think as a miracle. Now since i can't get access to either Ozempic or Trulicity i find my weight going back up including edema, my a1c went back up as well as my blood pressure.
We diabetics need this far more that people who only want it to lose weight
Reversals has happened with a lot using a ketogenic /carnivore diet. And you don’t have to keep taking it to manage your weight or illness. Plus you heal your body a lot faster.
Also, as for any medication, there will always be pros and cons and you have to decide for yourself what is most important.
She’s forget that you can eat a nutrient rich diet and be fine. I have a hormonal imbalance and it causes me to be ravishingly hungry and also hold on to fat for dear life so ozenpic helps me.
Girl same I go on wegovy but it contains the same thing (semaglutide) and I am always hungry, so it helps so good to regulate my appetite levels
Curious, did any of you try consistent intermittent fasting for a long period? 3,6,9 months? Was that ever recommended to you by a doctor?
If your imbalance is due to PCOS, I have it, too, and the only thing that worked to balance my hormones (this was in the late 90s) was low-carb eating. I went on Atkins at the time, and am now (menopause) also doing intermittent fasting.
Same and I was prescribed metformin.......for my pcos hormonal issues.
@@KidsandChickens I always got birth control pills to "reset" my hormones, but I refused to take them long-term because they did nothing about the cause of my issues.

It worked, and I actually cried.
Idk about other people, but I exercise and eat right I am about losing a pound a week, and I'm not starving. Ozempic helps keep you on track

I didn't lose muscle mass. I lost 65 pounds on Ozempic. Lifted weights 3-4 times a week. Maintained my muscle and losing the 65 pounds I can now do cardio! It's an amazing drug!!
I started the Mounjaro injections last wk which basically do the same as the Ozempic & I love it!! I’ve had ZERO negative effects & I’m losing weight. I mean being overweight & obese has its problems too & it’s not good on ur body, heart, circulation, organs, & basically everything. There are ways to prevent losing muscle & not all ppl who are on the injections are starving themselves. I’ll admit that I have basically zero appetite but I make myself eat something or at least grab a protein shake to take in some calories, protein, vitamins & minerals. I’ve knocked my calories way down but I’m not starving myself. Just making better choices & smaller portions.
Glad it is working for you! Which protein drink(s) are you using?
Eat more fatty beef and skip protein shakes with the "vitamins and minerals" your body can't actually absorb...

She didn't say they are starving themselves. The chemical makes the body think its starving itself. Thus when that happens it also eats at the muscles. Thats where she was getting at.
I am on it now. In the 3rd week, I lost 5 lbs, but my bones and muscles hurt like I am a 100-year-old.
One thing I do notice is hair loss. If you stay on it for longer, I know people who have been on it since May 2023 .

My coworker lost 60 lbs on ozempic and looks very skinny, but her hair has been looking very dry and brittle. She recently got bloodwork done and she has a ton of vitamin deficiencies.
The problem is that obesity often starts off as impulse controle problem. If the impulse to eat is eliminated, then some have trouble filling in the nutritional gaps. What they do eat, ends up being nutritionally lacking. It’s doctors responsibility to emphasize that diet is EVEN MORE important when taking these weight loss drugs. The people who have good success follow up with their doctors and maintain a healthy program

We dont know what we dont know at this point. I do know folks that have dropped near 100lbs and were able to get a handle on their hunger, habbits and now exercise. Just think of that loss of massive inflammation. For some, the trade off of the unknown is a win. We shall see
I can attest- was trying to get off last 10lbs. (to 133 at 5'5" fit female) I use a BMI scale at the gym which is a high quality machine. In one month I lost 5lbs. but my body fat %went UP and I actually lost 2 lbs. of hard earned lean muscle. So mad, beyond the pale. I worked out during that month and my diet had plenty of protein but it was absolutely CATOBOLIC on my muscle. Not to mention by 3rd week I was exhausted. I did low carb and kept calories at 1200 which is what I have to do to move the needle. Sure it was good to not be hungry but several months later and back to my original BMI and muscle, I can say that I appreciate my strength and appetite. For me it was horrible, made me feel old and fragile and I really wonder if it did any more damage. Great drug for the death-fats but if you are close t to ideal weight don't bother. I've also noticed that some of the actress that have taken it indeed look smaller but just less shapely, as if they lost a lot of muscle too. Erica Jane as an example.
The lady in the video is a doctor and she coaches people like you. Consider stopping the 1200 calorie per day and instead add in fasting and intermittent fasting aka cyclical ketosis.

I completely understand your concerns and don’t disagree but I’m curious to know how this is different than fasting.

These women are finally losing weight.
Because it's poisonous garbage. Fasting is not.
Autophagy, also ketosis is muscle protective
This is a great point that no one brings up!
@@TheVelvetTallow Thanks for your reply! I understand that part. In my observation, ozempic is just making it easier for patients to fast and enter ketosis because of its effect on GLp1. I’m just wondering how this is different than a patient that doesn’t need this “assistance”. 🤔🤷🏽♀️
@@adrie2396 I had the same question as you! The way I see it, medications are exogenous chemicals that come with side effects. GLP1s come with an increased risk of pancreatitis leading to pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, tumors, apparently muscle wasting per this video, none of which I’ve heard of in fasting.

Sounds exactly what I’m hoping for!! I have high blood pressure too.
Thank you Dr. Boz !!! Any doctor prescribing Ozempic/other similar medications .. should be required as “Standard of Care” to disclose this information ✨ Unfortunately there aren’t any long term studies yet .. but all the studies/results so far absolutely reflect exactly what you’re explaining !!
In addition .. many people don’t realize that they will need to take Ozempic for life .. an expensive proposition.
This. Not to mention that Ozempic won't be around forever. And then what?
I have a feeling that people will regret this in the long run when they start to experience bad side effects of it.
It's why people have to be *_very careful_* about trusting these pharmaceutical drugs that has all these chemicals & bad side effects, especially those drugs you see on TV.
Everyone should be losing weight _the natural way,_ using natural remedies, herbs & supplements in addition to water, diet, exercise & intermittent fasting. Those are *_the only real ways_* to lose weight & feel energetic!
Yeah, I think it's great that they're all taking it. My husband, who's diabetic can't get it because there isn't any available.

If you actually listen to what she is saying instead of getting outraged by the title, you’d realize this has always been common knowledge.
There’s no weight loss without muscle loss, and excessive muscle loss can cause problem to the organs. The healthiest path is avoid extreme weight fluctuations and maintain a healthy, constant BMI.
However if a person is morbidly obese and hasn’t been able to lose weight for years, then the risks of remaining obese outweigh the ones of ozempic. I don’t know what’s so hard about that.
I love the research you cited in this emotional post.
Agreed! This is someone jumping on the “anti Ozempic” bandwagon for likes.
What if you exercise and eat the appropriate amount of protein? Would you still not recommend Ozempic?
No. She just wants to complain and play devils advocate. She’ll never be happy or agreeable.
If you did just that then you would have o need for that drug. People are lazy.
Ozempic should be treated as any and every medicine; with a thorough review and a firm understanding on the risks and rewards.
Thank you Doc. Eliminate the refined carbs, i.e. sugar.
The key is to make sure that the people taking the meds concentrate on getting protein in first.
Obesity is a major health issue. If Ozempic helps you lose weight through fat and muscle, then counterbalance with a healthy diet and exercise routine. Also, Ozempic is temporary and can help people shift their health and habits in a positive way.
I was using it because of my sugar levels and stopped it after 9 months and 75 lbs down. My digestive system is still trying to recover and I'm still losing weight.
Maybe try some Omnibiotic.. these are ,,good,, bacteries that you dissolve in water that repair your digestive system. Have taken it myself years ago and its really good (btw im from germany)
Look into berberine for sugar levels, a natural product with no side effects and it works better than anyting pharma offers.
How are you doing now?
I’m 211lbs. My blood sugar has been in the 284s for over 2 months now. My diabetes MD person told me ozempic will make me not be hungry and I may lose weight and we both agreed that really isn’t a con in my position….
Yes, if you have Cardiovascular problems and Diabetes
Interesting. I’m in my late 60s and actually gaining muscle, perhaps because taking semaglutide caused me to keenly focus on my protein intake. I’m at a healthy BMI and gaining the strength I need for my active hobbies.
Congrats 👏 🎉
Same, although I'm in my 50's. It's because I'm going to the gym. Before I wasn't. Beginners tend to make gains by trying. Although I do want to say the doctor is talking about elderly people. Using some cycling terms here, between 35 to 55 years of age, the top end VO2 max a person can have (not saying they achieved it, but could've theoretically had) drops off about 10%. That isn't that much. But that drop off curve starts going up in the 60s and by the 70s, a person probably shouldn't drop muscle mass, but try to hold onto it, so that they can have a better quality of life as they continue to age into the 80s and 90s. I agree with the doctor about muscle loss, but not her main point. An obese person in their 80s has a lot of problems...the weight is a killer too. Hopefully someone in that condition takes the plan seriously, they may use ozempic, but they really have to be careful about the diet, eating protein and seeing what kind of exercise they can do in their condition.
Because you’re doing it the right way! Adequate protein intake and resistance training.
My mom is in her 60's and is on it for diabetes. This was before the weigh loss phenomenon. Her doctor said she's now technically malnourished. It's not a miracle. It's scary.
That's the doctor's fault - should have provided guidance/ monitored her diet & exercise - not just given her a script
The doctor's unprofessionalism is frightening, not ozempic.
Before this was being targeted at weight loss….why weren’t doctors screaming then about this medication? I matter if it’s for diabetes or weight loss, it’s the same medication!
because people on youtube want clicks and they aren't getting clicks talking about a diabetic drug. Also the side effects are really mild compared to the health risks associated with diabetes and obesity.
UNLESS! It is used as part of a PROGRAM that includes diet, weight training, walking and the drug. Maintain/grow muscle at the same time and all the concerns are out the window.
You are 100% correct! Muscle loss will impact during old age
My doctor recommended and sent me home with ozempic and they really didn't explain what it does so i started to research. I'll just say if for short it went in the trash immediately.
Try keto or Carnevore diet ❤
Me too I threw it away!!!😮
Good for you! You dodged a bullet
@@charlotteandersson6944 I'm swaying between ketosis and a carnivore type diet. I basically cut out all simple carbs and only use them for shocking my system out of routine and then back to a different fast.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. I wish I had known this before starting on Mounjaro. I was not prescribed it for weight-loss, but for type 2 diabetes with the hope of it reducing my weight. I used a Keto diet to reverse my type 2 diabetes along with this medication. I mentioned the 6 lbs of muscle loss over a year to my doctor and he wasn’t concerned and told me I could not stop the medication even though my A1C is now normal. I have chosen to stop the medication on my own, which I am not an advocate of, but felt I had no other options after also experiencing symptoms of pancreatitis which my doctor also did not take seriously. So now I’m sharing my story and encouraging other to do their research about this class of medications. I am 44 now and hoping that I can gain my muscle back, but I know it is going to be a challenging.
ketosis is not possible on these because it maintains constant insulin

Congrats on your weight loss 👏
Taking off more than a pound per week risks loss of muscle mass, overwhelming the body with release of stored toxins and also loose skin. It takes time to put on weight, don't be too much in a hurry to take it off. Learn good exercise methods. Weight will come off if avoid sugar, grains, seed oils, ... Use intermittent fasting. Avoid using the standard American diet. Drugs should not be necessary. Sugar and the lack of fat leads to excess eating (snacking).
I didn't know about Ozempic as a slimmer until now, thank you.
I am going to try and let you know the results.
All you have to do is works out with it-it’s like any other weight loss plan!
With the addition of the correct peptides, this won’t happen. Semaglutide is a peptide and if you get it compounded, NAD+ can/is added. There are also several HGH activating peptides like sermorlin, cjc 1295. and impamorlin that have demonstrated success in increasing muscle mass and bone density. The problem is the pharmaceutical companies can’t patent these compounds because they’re naturally occurring proteins in everyone’s body. That means they can’t charge you an arm and a leg for something you already have. So, yes, semaglutide has some problems, but the real problem is our medical system
I had zero appetite and was in the ER every week because my sugars were jumping from 400 to 20 no matter what i did. I have something growing on my liver which was making my sugars go haywire.

I love when people just assume those of us who struggle with weight loss are just out here plain not trying. You’re the same ones who love to comment even when we do go for that run, or we do go to the gym. How about just be quiet?
If you have insulin resistance it is very difficult to loose weight. Yeah, I know KETO. Would that be considered an eating disorder?
How about exercising while taking g ozempic.
Finally. The comment I was looking for. A healthy diet and a sensible exercise routine should do the trick. Plus, a physician can easily help assist you with any muscle loss related issues.
Yep! I’ve been on it 5 weeks, and am down 12 lbs. i only have a dose or 2 left and my new insurance doesn’t cover it for me because I’m not diabetic, thought I am obese 🙄so I won’t be taking it anymore. The last 3 weeks I have been doing a bit of strength training and HIIT, and I believe it will continue because it’s easier for me to move around with even this minimal amount of weight gone. I still need to lose 20-30 more lbs, and I think I can because of this jumpstart that ozempic has given me.
Hell yeah!! I’ve gain muscle and loss weight. Been eating healthy and going to the gym. Also no side effects for me . Why is everyone believe her like some Christians? ?
Thank you for the warning!!! People jumping on the bandwagon without proper consideration can be deadly. Years ago my father was put on a medication for type 2 diabetes that was subsequently removed from the market as dangerous. It destroyed his liver & ultimately killed him.
I don't trust ANYTHING the "medical" industry puts out for atleast 50 years. So many medicines are dangerous or have miserable side effects. For self proclaimed high achievers they sure haven't set the bar remotely high enough to me. There are better ways.
I’ve seen a lot of people go for medication’s that will help them lose weight, however, if someone has an eating disorder, has a medical condition etc, then it is fine as long as the physician tells the patient to stay fit, and consider proper nutrition.
If you stop eating, and don’t have consume proper nutrients and aren’t walking at least 30 min a day, the muscle loss can really hurt you, especially if you have back issues and joint pain (a strong core and back muscles will protect your body)
I was eating healthy but not losing weight till I found ozempic. Now I’ve lost 27 lbs!!! No side effects.
I’m guessing it’s the dosage that causes issues and lack of education on what healthy eating is
Just got prescribed absolutely pumped. Ive had several friends do it and its incredible.
How are you doing so far ?
Yayy for you.
