ozempic (semaglutide) is not the holy grail

[vanhamm]

After being around the block a few times with this drug and seeing a guy at my job who lost on it but now regain and more even while still being on the drug for diabetes i can honestly tell you that sadly it will stop working. The time you are on its amazing no appetite whatsoever but I would stay around the 3 month mark it just stop working, even at a higher dosage.

The good thing is that before starting semaglutide i already had a plan in place, fasting is amazing (get one of those free apps for your phone so you can time your fast), even if i am off semaglutide i am still losing weight and feeling great.

Could i have done it without pretty sure i could have. But since i had access to it i wanted to give it a try.

Good to hear you are still on track and succeeding in your goals. I looked forward to your stories of how your determination is doing well for you. Admittedly, it is an encouragement to me to keep going when I hear others are doing well and approaching at their goals.

You got this, its hard but you can do it too, semaglutide is a patch, and from the looks of it that stop working I have 2 collogues at work that are diabetic so ozempic is paid by the insurance, but after the 1y mark stop losing and regain weight, but there diet is filled with junk food.

Honest its the small changes you make that will allow you to achieve your goals, eating smart pop corn, instead of a bag of chips, dark chocolate instead of a chocolate bar, etc. Make sure to get a complete blood test for thyroid function etc to make sure there is no hormone imbalance, the rest is pretty much a good diet plan fiber lots of quality protein etc.

I spoke to an older bodybuilder and change my training as well, and its fantastique I now do 4 sets for bigger body parts chest, back legs, and 2 sets of smaller ones delts triceps biceps, I try to reach failure but those short program are intense and do what they are suppose to do.

I also have a HIIT 10 minutes cardio boxing done twice per week, the rest is all diet. Its hard yes but it can be done.

, semaglutide is a patch,

It’s like when I stopped smoking with patches 15 years ago. When you stop patches, the real work begin.
Keep on your new good habits.
Nowadays, I tend to focus on the pleasure of training. I really enjoy it.
My coach says you should have fun while training…but not too much. Ha!Ha!

It's poison.

It's poison.

You mean Ozempic? If it helped him temporarily to startup in into his progress, why not?

 

[Anna Bijou]

It's poison.

How is it poison? I guarantee people who have benefitted from it, such as people whose T2 diabetes is in remission and no longer have to rely on insulin injections don't feel like it's poison.

Not sure what that statement is for. The food we eat, the chemicals in our homes, on our bodies and in the air, are a lot more poisonous than medication that mimics what usually occurs naturally in our bodies.

Sugar and cold cuts are more poisonous. Lol

The human body is a complex-dynamic system.
It has trillions of cells, and many times more subsystems.

Doctors, even top scientists, know literally zero about even some of its most basic interactions.

Ozempic, like most drugs, has never been tested long-term against placebo.
Regulators, politicians, and media that promote it are financed by drug companies.

Use it at your own risk.

Oh i see…Let me guess…you are against any vaccines too

 

[Rebaynia]

It is up to those who want to have it early in the release, to be the guinea pigs, as it is also the choice of some to wait and not jump on the bandwagon while something is new, to wait and see the effects after years of a drug being out on the market. The information on a medications long term effect is only discovered after a long, and large test sample size has been created.
Smoking used to be concisered a great way to curb appetite and loose wait. Till we saw what that did.
Who knows if it is better or worse in the long run. But we know it is at least helping those looking to loose weight in the short term to get healthier. But like anything when it comes to loosing weight, it needs support from a healthy lifestyle as well.

You'll need to do better than Tucker, to be taken seriously. Maybe he'll have some legit points, but he's long since invalidated himself as a trustworthy commentator on anything. He's not reliable.

Are you an Endocrinoligist?

Because I can tell you that without it, I would have severe issues from peripheral nephropathy (nerve damage) from my diabetes. Ozempic is not meant for weight loss (None of the semaglutides are), it's meant to help control your blood sugars. A benefit (or side effect depending on how you want to view it) of that is weight loss.

So unless you're an endocrinologist and can cite clinical studies that prove your claim, your words are just an opinion and nothing more.

Endocrinologists, like all doctors, are drug pushers.

The way to regulate 95% of blood sugar issues is through diet.
I presume you are in the 5%.

But implying the average fat Canadian should stuff his face all day with processed food and pop pills all night is crazy.

Actually, I'm a diabetic and I don't eat any processed sugars at any time. Only the ones found in unprocessed foods like fruits and vegetables, and the Ozempic is meant to help diabetics regulate their blood sugar because some foods are extremely high on the GI index like Pineapple or bananas for example. I'm not fat, I actually have only 3% body fat and I was NEVER overweight at any time in my life. It was never intended for use as a weight loss drug. As far as eating portions goes, if you ate the portions I eat in a day, you'd shrivel up and die of starvation. I eat breakfast which is a piece of fruit, a raw egg and a glass of milk. I rarely eat anything at lunch and dinner is a piece of meat of some kind in the 4-5 Oz range, and a salad with no dressing. I drink between 3-6 liters of water in a day depending on what I'm doing.

I never implied that someone with weight problems should do what you suggest and ftr, Ozempic is an injection, not a pill.

That's not true. Wegovy is literally the same but different doses and is specifically for weight loss. It's also important to note that many people with diabetes who take ozempic see improvements as a result of the weight loss. It's not just a bonus. Losing weight helps blood sugar levels in many people with t2 diabetes. Maybe not all but many.

Endocrinologists, like all doctors, are drug pushers.

You've clearly never had any health condition due to hormonal problems. Sorry that's a ridiculous statement.

Maybe get back when you have cancer or any condition, including hormonal, that can't be cured or managed with good thoughts or prayers.

Wow been gone a week and we got all them warriors going at it hahaha, well i can tell you that its a patch, and it doesnt work 100% your body will get used to it, if you are diabetic its covered 100% if you are not insurance dont cover so its expansive as hell.

Poison is a big word posting youtube video is hilarious instead of posting real studies like pubmed. All drugs have side effects of course ozempic is not excluded.

Ok i am out of here, remember that nothing replaces sensible dieting, exercises base covered. Been of ozempic for a month now.
