I took it for a year then stopped for a year and then went on mounjaro. I'm have to take it because i'm insulin-resistent and cannot manage it properly with exercise and diet alone, and metformin (the base medication for this sort of thing prior to ozempic coming around) gave me what can only be described as turbo-diareah, which turn over time flushed me of electrolytes, which in turn caused arythmia and heart palpitations.

I personally didn't have any side effects. Maybe a little bit of nausea the first couple of weeks. I think alot of the more major side effects are also experienced by people that are taking it for weight loss rather then because they are diabetic or insulin resistant. If you have normal blook sugar and take medications that lower blood sugar, you end up hypoglycemic.

The other side of this is that it's not like being overweight doesn't have side effects and health risks either. If you weigh 400-500lbs (I wasn't anywhere near that just to be clear) or however much the typical american weighs now, it's really not like you can go out jogging or even walking - your joints won't even hold up.

I lost weight super fast taking ozempic. About 20kg total probably in 6-8 months. It all came back within a year when i stopped it. I feel like the main method the drug works is that it keeps you from being hungry. In fact, I couldn't even look at food at times and had to force myself to eat. I stopped it because my wife wanted me to stop it after reading stuff like this.

Mounjaro is supposed to be better, and while i'm losing weight it's much slower which I suppose is better. I also don't have the same disgust for food I felt with ozempic, though the portions i'm able to eat before not wanting any more food are pretty small.

Not all cases of insulin-resistance or diabeties can be reversed or stopped by diet alone. The diet for it is really hard to keep to - no sugar, as few carbs as possible. Once you start looking at ingredients in basically everything you realize there's really not much that doesn't have sugar in it. It's basically drinking only water and preparing every meal from completely raw materials, so labour intensive as well. I have no doubt that the prevelance of diabetes in the modern population is from processed foods.

Do I advocate taking it? If you're doing it because you're too lazy to go for a walk or go ride your bike for a few km a day, no.
In some cases, you have to and it should always be done IN COMBINATION with exercise and diet.

Would the girl in the meme feel better after losing 42lbs? Absolutely. Try carrying around 42lbs with you everywhere you go.
