Ozempic / Semaglutide

They never tell you what you need to know.
During COVID I put on 20 lbs - I have 6 off. If I could pay $1,000 and just constantly poop for the next month to get those other 14 lbs off I’d think I’d just go ahead and do it if I didn’t have to worry about kidney failure as a side effect 3 years down the road.
Kidding, but it is tempting. I’m sure it’s getting several people who were in bad health back to a good place and that’s a good thing.
I still think of someone could make cauliflower taste like pizza, broccoli taste like chackin fangers and water to taste like Pepsi this obesity issue could probably be changed virtually overnight.
Got something to say?

If you wanna loose weight, I hear crack & meth both work too. Or even just plain ol cocaine. Replace your mouth sugar with booger sugar, and watch the pounds just melt away. Just sayin.
In all seriousness, I think a significant part of the issue are the attempts to make water taste like Pepsi. The same is largely true of the non-fattening "fats" we've attempted to develop over the years. We keep determining that they don't help loose weight very much, if at all. But they cause a host of other issues.
If parents just make their kids drink water and eat broccoli, and only hit the chackin fingers & soda on rare occasions, we'd all be a fuck-ton healthier and probably somewhat richer. I'm not saying we all gotta be kale eating hippies, but some of the shit we eat is straight up poison. And instead of stopping with eating that shit, we just want another poison to fix it for us.

Either you have food discipline or you don’t. If you don’t, meds won’t help. If you do, you don’t need meds.
There is no Royal Road to fitness.
I dropped over 200 pounds on strict Keto. And by strict I mean strict. Less than 20 grams of carbs per day. Hard at first but you get used to it. Then after I dropped the first 50 I started walking. And as I got in better shape I joined a gym a did weight lifting.
Keto can be controversial and some might frown upon eating daily eggs and bacon - but it worked for me. Cholesterol and lipids went way down.
Juice and I were mutual motivators (have to be careful how I typed that) during our weight loss
You should go hang out with your broke buddy the turd swallower and concentrate on coming in your pants for ten dollars or less. That might be more your speed. One thing’s certain stupidity is your strong suit.
I know a few people that have gotten on this drug (or similar) mainly because they are too lazy or too “busy” to go do it the right way. Keep in mind these people are vain women who really don’t need it to begin with, none of these women were even remotely obese, and day spas that have turned into “health spas” are somehow selling these drugs now.
That being said there are many people out there that have struggled to maintain their weight their entire life. Yes some people just have shitty will power but I can’t argue with someone who has tried to do it themselves and put in effort but just can’t succeed. Maybe those people are full of shit and are sneaking candy bars at night or maybe they truly are trying.
And dolfan I have a comment to your post - I have a friend that owns a few “upscale” restaurants and loves wine. We were talking one day and he said “you know if I did coke instead of eating and drinking at least I wouldn’t be fat.” Then he said “damn it probably would have been cheaper too.”
I tried Ozempic and I lost weight because I couldn't keep food down. Anything I ate came right back up and I couldn't go 30 minutes with shitting my brains out. The best anti nausea meds (prescription stuff) and best anti diarrhea stuff (Immodium) didn't do a thing. But some people swear by it. I'm trying to get Mounjaro but it's hyper expensive and only approved for diabetes, so getting it is a real bitch.
Ozempic and Wegovy are the same thing, former with less copay. Find a doc willing to give the Ozempic, some will even teach you how to cheat a blood sugar test to look diabetic.
I then adjusted what I ate and drank, a little at a time. I’m now 215. It took many years to get there. I eat chicken, fish, eggs, berries, nuts and lots of vegetables. I eat no simple carbs ( pasta, rice, potatoes, bread, etc ), no processed foods, no sugar, little alcohol.
Changing your lifestyle works best. Eat right, exercise (cardio and lifting weights), get pleny of sleep, drink plenty of water. It's so simplr, but so hard.
American havecweak will power. It's because they have so much access to stuff and so little control of themselves. They want a pill or quick fix for everything.
The point is if this medication can help people and is proven safe, there is no reason to disparage this, it will mean a lot to many that are struggling and can't find the means to help themselves, that isn't a bad thing.
Totally irresponsible on the part of the Physicians and NPs. High prices and shortages for the morbidly obese and DM2s caused by prescribing to size 4s that want to be size 2s for bikini season. Hope they all get a permanent case of saggy Ozempic butt.
We all knew you were a fat fuck because you have an oral fixation on using that pie hole of yours so frequently. Admitting you have a problem is a start to knowing you are a fat ass penguin fucker!
I'm most likely in better shape than you ever were, and I've lost more money than you ever will make, you are just another dopey fucktard.
2. If you think semaglutide is good? Try Tirzepatide. Sold commercially as Mounjaro.
Or if you really insist on using a doctor, find one that will prescribe compounded tirzepatide through a pharmacy like ACA. Peptides will be cheaper tho.
Do a little reading on the tirzepatide or peptide reddit. All the info you'd need is there.
Bacon!
Beware the shortcuts and magic bullets. There's always dangerous side effects.
That is great to hear. Congratulations.
If you have lots of lean mass already this isn't the miracle to shed the last few pounds before you get Jesus levels of shredded. It's more appropriate for people with large reserves of visceral belly fat.
And you're absolutely right, in that lots of plebs who start this med and don't adjust their lifestyle will end up with early kidney disease.
