Ozempic

[braalian]

You ignore that they are making fattening foods that do not produce satiety after eating them, they are designed for you to keep eating them non-stop. They have no responsibility to you and want you to over eat.

If people were being forced or coerced into eating their product I’d agree. But nobody’s being forced to eat anything.

And I don’t think consumers can claim ignorance, either. We all know fast food and processed food and pop are horrible for you. Unless you’re a small child or a mentally retarded adult, you are well aware of these basic nutrition facts

I have just injected the second ozempic today and it worked well. My doctor says I will lose a lot of weight from it but I doubt it a bit whether that is true. There are also some who do not lose weight. So far I have not noticed that I am losing weight but this is only the second injection today.

If you’re borderline diabetic, or more than 70 or 80 pounds overweight, I would take it. There might be some risks, but there are risks to being overweight as well, and diabetes is of course among them.

If your doctor prescribed it, and you’re not ordering from some unknown compounding company, my vote is to trust your doctor’s judgement.

If someone is borderline diabetic and 70 or 80 pounds overweight, I suggest two salads a day and nothing else.

Would you tell a heroin addict that you suggest he just stop using - and the problem is solved? Or an alcoholic to just stop drinking? And finally, do you know more than the doctor - who prescribed it to Morty?

There’s a reason for the overeating, and the excess fat storage. The brain is signaling the obese person that they’re still hungry.

I’m all for the use of this drug - temporarily - to suppress one’s appetite so they can make proper food choices and learn a new, healthy lifestyle.

With fatties, drug addicts, and alcoholics; I would lock them in a room with a bathroom with a serving hatch. They would get fed two salads a day though the serving hatch. They can all go through cold turkey. After two months, they would be over the moon and ready for the world.

And they would keep the weight off because they earned it.

With Ozempic, you don't earn anything and will be reliant on this drug for life.

The NHS in the UK do injections for fatties. I say, just stop eating the wrong foods. The word diet means, "The range and types of foods that your body uses to keep healthy and an ideal weight". Some can eat what they want to a achive this, others can't. Those that say, "I'm going on a diet", simply means they are the wrong foods. Fatties don't get sympathy off me.

With welfare, people don’t earn anything, either. Let’s keep them off it cold turkey and they can feed themselves because they earned it.

Sounds about right. All meds seem like bullshit these days. When I was a teen, my mother had weight loss pills I tried and the first day you took them, you could tell you were losing weight. And they were cheap and w/o side effects.

They definitely had side effects

The old weight loss pills were basically speed. I’m sure there were side effects. Like being irritable. Or heart palpitations.

You keep with it, Mort! Give it time.

So, how does this work? Do they double your dose every month? Maybe this next dose will work better.

Also, when you say you didn’t lose a “significant” amount of weight, what to you mean? Did you lose maybe a 2 pounds?

Those things were dangerous. There was a guy on my old AAU

Those things were dangerous. There was guy on my old AAU boxing team back in the 70's that regularly took them as a method of dropping 3 -5 pounds rapidly to make weight and he ended up with a permanent arrhythmia(irregular heartbeat) as a result at the age of 23.

Back then they only tested randomly for substances so he got away with it for a long time.

Yes, those drugs were bad news.

I’m sure Ozempic comes with risks as well, as does just about any drug, but the risks that come with being morbidly obese - like Mort, who is over 300 pounds - are worse.

This is why I’m trying to encourage him. I wish him the best!

Ozempic is associated with LOWERING the risk of 10 different types of cancer - since obesity in itself is a cancer risk.

The article I posted above also says that Ozempic reduces the amount of processed food a person eats, and that alone is associated with lowering cancer risk.

I once read a great tip for how to eat healthier (not that I’m perfect….far from it), and I’m passing it along:

Do not eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t have recognized.

For example: She would recognize an egg…..a piece of cheese….a chicken breast….an orange. She would NOT have recognized a box of Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza, a McDonald’s Big-Mac, or a Mocha Frap from Starbucks.
