Ozempic is for diabetics. Now people are taking it to lose weight. People who are diabetic can even find their insulin of Ozempic because of people taking it as a fast result of losing weight it’s ridiculous.

[@cynthiasymons]

@@kristijones5325Hi, Kristi. In fairness, you are right: It is not that Dr. Fung said nothing about Ozempic, nor that one could not learn “something,” particularly if one knew nothing about Ozempic. What I object to is the practice among so many KZbinrs of trying to create sensational captions that don’t deliver on what they promise, created merely to generate as many views as they can. I certainly understand what content creators are trying to do, but in this instance, Dr. Fung gave a generic description of Ozempic and how it words that I can google in 1 min. What those of us who know him hoped for, I think, (and the reason I watched) was because I thought he would discuss how Ozempic compares to other strategies, or possible downsides (or upsides) for Ozempic over other strategies-or some sort of information that I can’t find everywhere else.. Ozempic is not prescribed for weight loss (or at least it is not supposed to be), but only for those with Type 2 diabetes…I was expecting to hear more beyond a description of how it works that I can read somewhere else, from one of the world’s experts on fasting. The caption implied that we were going to hear something earth-shattering.

I was a preteen/teen in the 70’s. We ate cookies , bread and jam, drank pop etc. We did not eat ALL the time. When we did eat, after, we went outside and played for hours until dinner. We didn’t eat in between meals. Eating out was a treat. Maybe twice a year. We ate real sugar, not fake. Almost everyone was thin. So thin ,that people now would think we were too thin. Our mother’s cooked for us. It’s not rocket science.

25 yrs ago, when I moved to USA, I gained a lot of weight. It’s not that I suddenly ate more here, it was the quality of the food, that I had no idea it might be different. Same problem with all my friends who moved here and even family members that just visited for few weeks, we all got bigger. In my country we simply didn’t have access to processed food, but also we didn’t have obese people. Of course it changed now

[@pamcornelius9122]

I grew up in the sixties and seventies. Foods were sweetened with sugar back then. When food and beverage companies started replacing sugar with corn syrup (a cheap filler/ preservative) and also adding seed oils, people became huge and started getting fatty liver and diabetes at higher rates. Sugar is metabolized by every cell in your body. Corn syrup is only metabolized in your liver.

[@mariabunch3541]

This is true. It is so annoying that the government thinks they are going to make us healthier by limiting our sugar intake. The unintended consequence of that was companies just started substituting, high fructose corn syrup for sugar. They made it worse, not better.

[@missinterpretation4984]

I’m just sharing my experience, I’m not an expert. I grew up with food uncertainty and my mom had an eating disorder. My views of food were warped. I’d go from eating as much as I could to starving for days on end. Every food choice I made was to avoid weight gain. And what’s really freaky is that I wasn’t completely unlike my friends. We all “splurged” and had to “be good.” But as an adult I just got sick of the mental and emotional toll. So I decided I would eat 3 meals per day, no snacks, no skipping meals. I did a spreadsheet of a bunch of meal combos and realized that if I stuck to the recipes I had outlined, it was impossible to exceed my calories. This has been a life saver. When I was so up or down w food I thought I must have something wrong w me. Addiction or something medical. But it’s all evened out. Every once in a while, I’ll get the thought like “oh that was so good, have another plate and skip the next meal” but I follow my one rule: 3 meals, no more no less, and those thoughts go away and hardly ever come anymore. It’s been healing tbh. I think a real problem for a lot of us is that food is marketed like a product, always advertising so we’ll buy more but we also objectify our bodies and this combo creates a living hell. Now I see food is my fuel and my body is my vehicle for life. For what it’s worth, this is how I’ve found peace. ❤️

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

As a kid in the 70s we had McDonalds or fast food maybe once every 5 months as a special treat. Otherwise we ate 3 meals a day with a snack being fruit or a cookie that Mum made. We played with our friends making up our own games and never came in until it was dinner. Our parents always knew where we were and everyone watched out for each other. Any fights were settled between us kids and rarely was a parent involved or even knew about it. Today kids are used to being offended by the smallest things! You can't have a birthday party without inviting the entire class for fear of someone's feelings being hurt. Not everything is bad today ... it is like anything. Moderation! Too many parents are giving their kids the control and sending the message that they are just there to basically serve their kids every need. All my parents had to do was give me the "look" and I instantly knew to stop or I would not get to watch TV or play outside with friends. No negotiations! No actually meant NO. Okay I am done ranting. ✌

[@frankG335]

You're describing exactly what everyone's childhood was like until maybe the 80s. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and that was it. There were almost zero fat people. Those who were fat were considered to have let themselves go and to have a serious problem. True obesity was extremely rare! Housework was also much more strenuous than it is now, and most women stayed home to keep up with all the work involved and were raising kids, cooking real meals. It was very possible to live on one income, even a "blue collar" income was plenty.

[@ellab87]

Even in the 90s in Ireland it was like this. I can distinctly remember only going to Burger King or McDonald's on St. Patrick's day or another rare occasion 😂 Tea in a flask and some sandwiches otherwise. It's actually made me think I need to start doing this again as an adult 🤯

[@BettyGone]

My morbid obesity had very little to do with hunger. I was addicted to eating, to the food, to the satisfying feel for the few minutes before the horrid over-stuffed feeling. I was a mess. I don’t understand all of the emotional reasons, perhaps, but it was as heart wrenching pain in every way. I’m just a few pounds away from a “healthy” weight now. I’m eating high-fat keto. The excess skin is shrinking- it’s my own personal miracle than can be replicated by others. Dr Jason Fung and others spreading the good news is wonderful. After over 30 years in and out of Overeaters Anonymous, I learned not to rely on fads, shots, pills and other outside “cures”. Anything can help for a season, and then we deal with the damage of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. After all of that I had no real answers to stopping the addiction… until now.

Thank you Dr. Fung. I was 310 pds for the last 5 years with hip arthritis for the last 2 years. Fasted lost inches but never saw weight loss on scale. My physician was not really interested in helping me lose weight. After weeks of crying and beating myself up. I changed medical plans and went to a wonderful hospital new physician and Ortho doctor. They worked together to assist me in getting a hip replacement and losing weight. I was advised that I was obese and I qualified for the med Ozempic and I was put on it. And it worked wonders since October 23 I have lost lost so much weight, because I really lost my appetite But the best part is my Ortho Physician introduced me to your channel and eating healthy fasting and exercise. And I am so healthy with no more high BP meds. Had a full physical and I'm in good physical shape and will be having hip surgery soon. And I'm so happy.

Here is a wild theory.. could the hormones they give animals to get them to eat more for consumption pass onto us making us hungry?

[@ihopetowin]

That is an interesting thought, however it's more due to the addictive quality of sugar, vegetable seed oils and wheat-flour, the major components of junk foods; they're the ingredients in plentiful use and chemical additives are the other. Look at the advertising, thousands of products and the irrational belief in eating snacks to maintain blood sugar for energy. Our bodies were equipped to eat and fast, eat and fast, humans developed this way over thousands of generations. Now we are hormonally out of balance and this is due to the constant constant eating resulting in the relentless elevation of the storage hormone insulin. Society has been lied to and the manufacturers of these poisonous junk foods are the only entities to profit. Eating whole foods as our progenitors did is the answer.

[@pamelas9]

The added sugars in foods that have no business having them is huge in the addiction to modern processed food. After being in ketosis for a few weeks it is wild how your palette regains its sensitivity. Commercially made white bread toast is sweet like cake! Making bread and buns at home is one of my small steps to break up with the food industry.

This is why grass fed is encouraged over corn because its also never just corn, its the fattening stuff. Women are told that the fattening agent in the cow feed has xeno estrogen which, yes, affects how we gain. Remember estrogen is a cell proliferater so can cause our fat cells to multiply faster.

I do think it’s a personal choice. My dad has diabetes and still eats processed carbs and sugar (he lost his left arm in a car accident due to a diabetic blackout). My brother(overweight and smoked) and mom (who classifies as obese) have high blood pressure (bro had a stroke that left his left side paralyzed at 39). My parents still smoke. They don’t exercise and they eat whatever they want and are on meds. I was raised by them, we live 5 minutes apart. Environment is not the problem. I still exercise everyday and avoid fried food, avoid sugar, don’t smoke, cut back heavily on alcohol, not on meds. I pack my lunches and snacks to have healthy foods outside of the house so I don’t depend on takeout/ fast food. I chose to educate myself and avoid unhealthy environments and influences. If I chose to let my environment control me, I would be like my family🤷🏻‍♀️ I had to undo so many bad habits I inherited and train the good ones I created.

Ozempic uses the same injector pens used by Novo Nordisk in their actual life saving type 1 diabetes insulin. Because of all the hype around Ozempic it has caused real supply problems (at least in the UK) for actual medicine. We couldn't get insulin for 4 weeks from our pharmacy back in November. The only thing we could do was call 111 and find a hospital that still had some.

I took Ozempic for four months. Three days out of every week I suffered from abdominal pain and was miserable. I was told I would “get used to it”. I had to quit taking it because I couldn’t hold down a job while feeling so miserable. I never lost a pound, either.

[@ispeakproduction6005]

Same- I was in such pain I thought I had amoebic dysentery and yet the nurse kept telling me to keep taking it, I would get used to it. 4 months and didn’t lose a pound. One day I was so sick I was doubled over was going to go to ER I was in such pain. I messaged the DR who prescribed it and (but the nurse reads the emails) and told her I can’t do this. Messaged my other doctor who told me to stop because I could have pancreatitis or colitis. A year later and I still have abdominal issues. And the DR who prescribed it was an endocrinologist so, a specialist.

glad you stopped. some ideas: eat more slowly. chew food 30-35 times each bite (chew food to paste); eat a whole foods plant based diet (see dr. barnard and physician's committee for responsible medicine on YT). berberine is a natural supplement that can increase GLP 1 without the side effects.

[@whimsy339]

I think there is more to this than they are addressing. I find that when I eat or drink anything sweet, the sugar kills my appetite. So if I drink a soda, and I've never been able to drink huge amounts at one time, the sugar I've consumed actually kills my appetite for quite a long time. My experience in being overweight usually has nothing to do with actual physical hunger. I eat when I am not hungry. I eat to satisfy some emotional issues. I eat for comfort, I eat because I'm sad, etc. And I don't believe I'm unique in this regard.

[@bobalysiaharas6158]

Cutting out added sugar from my diet (whole fruit is fine because it also contains fiber) has helped me to control my hunger and to lower my weight. I no longer have huge blood sugar swings that used to make me get hangry and shake. Now I’m at the point I can not eat for 20 hours and I have no issues with hunger (I usually still eat after 18 to enjoy eating with family and friends). I just focus on no added sugar and Whole Foods and I don’t get hangry anymore. My experience is what Dr. Fung is describing, the soda made me hungry and thirsty. But I didn’t realize it until I cut it out of my diet completely. Took about two weeks before I noticed the difference. Just another perspective.

Those of us who eat a sugary diet can attest to the fact that we don’t have a huge appetite and we don’t eat a crazy amount of calories. But the problem with us is that the food we do eat spikes our insulin and keeps it circulating in our bodies. And as Dr Fung says….you cannot burn fat in the presence of insulin.

Glad u mentioned this. People often overlook the side effects because they like the benefit. Big pharma meds ALWAYS have serious side effects regardless how great the initial results.

[@tomh9470]

GLP-1s were FDA approved for type 2 diabetics since 2005. It’s been used off-label for weight loss for 15+years, and more recently FDA approved for weight loss. Are there risks? Yes. People need to be medically pre-screened, as certain conditions make GLP-1s inappropriate/risky for some patients. And, the medication needs to be properly dosed, with ongoing monitoring of things like thyroid levels. Used properly, GLP-1s have a safe “track record” & the risks are known. If you ignore your risk factors, improperly use the drug, and don’t monitor relevant blood results, bad things can happen with many drugs.

Ozempic is forced fasting, but I wonder if they stop it, it will have the opposite effect, where they will not be able to fast normally.

[@cherylcoyote]

On June 6, 2023 I weighed 340 pounds. Today, 7.5 months later, I weigh 271. Ozempic literally saved my life. As reported by other commenters, I ate frequently and I never stopped when I was full. I stopped when I was stuffed, and ate again as soon as I could. I could devour a pound of pot roast while dishing up my family's meal. I overate everything from Doritos to broccoli, ice cream to pears, salad, donuts, scrambled eggs, spaghetti, pork chops, potatoes, asparagus, olives...well, you get the drift. Here's the thing, though. Ozempic wouldn't have kept me from overeating if I didn't retool my entire relationship with food. Seriously, I had to do the work, even when I felt chemically satiated. Why? Because I'm an emotional overeater. I self-medicate with food. Someday I'll no longer be taking Ozempic and I'll need an ingrained system of new habits - physical, social, behavioral - in order to make the adjustment. I'm now working on building muscle and stamina, eating well and carefully, strengthening my social network, and learning how to manouver through a world that, up until recently, has been too frightening for me to engage with. All my obese peeps hear me on this, I'm sure - "Will I fit in the restaurant booth?", "Will the people I'm meeting think awful things about my size?", "Will I break the antique dining chair in my friend's house?", "How will I make myself small enough not to touch arms with the person in the next seat at the movies?" It goes on and on. The moral of this story is that Ozempic doesn't fail, it's just a chemical tool, but people do fail if they don't understand that it's simply a tool. It's up to us to build a house that will stand after the tools have been packed up and taken away.

My goal is to be sustainably lean and healthy and off Ozempic by this time next year, or sooner. But who knows? Man plans and God laughs. This isn't my first weight-loss rodeo and I've always ended up in the dirt, broken and recidivistic, every time before. But I'm old now, and my time is short. I want to be able to chase my grandkids around the yard and be generally active until my number gets punched. The idea of spending years in painful, defeated inactivity is horrifying. What I'm banking on is that I'll be more addicted to my new life than I was to compulsive eating. Sugary processed carbs set up a feedback loop in my brain whereby the more I eat, the more I want. A pound of pot roast is over 1300 calories, but it also shuts down hunger, which is why keto eaters don't count calories. I agree that eating keto creates a biochemical environment that results in weight loss and a healthier metabolism for most people. My problem was that I'll eat the pot roast and continue to eat the junk food. I ate from compulsion, not actual hunger. Starbucks frappuccinos, bags of Takis, and drive through burgers are obvious foods (and I use that term loosely) that everyone should avoid. But avoiding the poison is only the first step. At the grocery store, dedicate yourself to real, whole, minimally processed choices whether you eat keto, carnivore, plant-based, vegan, or whatever. Ozempic isn't magic, it's not a panacea, but it shuts down the food noise in my head and dampens my compulsions. It makes weight loss easier, but, I still have to do the work myself.

Then you go to detox and have your vitals taken regularly because you still can't eat without vomiting and diarrhea plus you're still at risk for the above mentioned life threatening events. Plus cold sweats and tremors. Regular nightmares and chronic insomnia. Then you have 2 years of in and out of rehab and have to deal with PAWS Post ACUTE Withdrawal Syndrome.

Until the disease kicks in. I struggled with weight since jumping on the Jane Fonda healthy eating era back in the 80's were low fat diets were the rage. Everyone bought processed low fat items to stay healthy which were dosed with hidden sugars we all regognise now as toxic. We got addicted because we wanted to get healthy and promised we were eating food good for us. When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the first thing I said was I don't want to rattle with pills. That's the difference, I made the choice to look at the causes of the problems. The side effects may not be as bad as you have stated but time in the bathroom is very real if you continue to abuse your body in this way. Additionally, cold turkey isn't the option for the human body and it needs good carbs in the form of leafy greens for fibre and nutrients. Noone goes to the office and offers everyone drugs but the sugary snacks are under everyone's noses. If you are determined it can be achieved but "just one time" can take months to recover from again.

​@@sbg1911Muscle loss is a huge issue. The weight loss is not only body fat but muscle as well and the loss of muscle will make it harder to control blood glucose when the drug is stopped since muscle is the biggest glucose sink in the body. This is particularly concerning for older people since they have a hard time building muscle or even maintaining it. Loss of muscle is highly associated with an increase death rate because falls become more likely

No one talks about semaglutide's effect on insulin and blood glucose! All they talk about is the reduced appetite. Why don't they give people the whole story? It started as a diabetes medication and it's like everyone has forgot.

[@theskyehiker]

The drug isn’t the thing making people less insulin resistant. It’s the fact that people aren’t eating much which lowers the insulin response. Over time that will make one more insulin sensitive.

Wow, this is a very informative video! Thank you! I just started Week #7 on Mounjaro, and it is miraculous how it stops the food chatter in my brain! My stomach gets full eating half as much food. I am documenting my journey doing KZbin lives on what I call Mounjaro Mondays when I take my shot. Thank you to the doctor you interviewed for his understanding of obesity! He described very well how eating protein helps too. I am very hopeful now that I will be able to return to a healthy weight, while taking this drug and mindfully eating more protein and veggies and less processed carbs. It helps my cravings to stop. I have type 2 diabetes and my blood sugar levels are much lower, too. Have a great week! 😊

I've been on ozempic for a year now (took a few weeks' worth of breaks in that time), and I found it liberating to NOT constantly be thinking about food. I remember being soooo happy about that because I don't remember experiencing that in a long, long time. And I didn't have a lot to lose (about 30 lbs to not be considered overweight). I lost 20 lbs over the course of a year, and I want to lose another 10 lbs. I also want to mention that I work out and I work out like a man. I lift heavy at the gym and I do it 4-5 times a week. I am super strong and have lots of muscle mass, but I also had lots of fat over that muscle mass, and I was always hungry! Luckily, I'm tall (for a woman, I'm at 5'9) so when I tell people how much excess weight I have, they find it hard to believe because I don't look it at all, but I certainly feel it. And I can certainly feel a difference with those 20 excess pounds lost. 😊 For me personally, Ozempic has been a blessing.

The other thing was in the 70s in Junior High & High School you were in gym class daily, you walked to and from school, most kids didn’t get cars in high school, we rode our bikes, and played in neighborhoods full of kids. Even hanging out with friends in high school often involved being active by going roller skating, ice skating in winter, walking, riding bikes, and swimming. The post high school ‘freshman 15’ is related to no longer being as active. That applies whether or not you attend college. That and serving sizes in the U.S. are huge! I remember the first McDonald’s in my town in the late 60s. Then a burger and fries came in one size. Normal, and most definitely not ‘super sized’. It was also cheap-but that’s for a different thread.😉

I think one could get away with eating a lot of refined carbs if you were expending the energy like on old time manual labour, which today we don't in general do. We are paying for it with ill health through excess weight and permanently high insulin.

[@davidg1782]

I am intrigued by Dr Fung's descriptions of hunger. A psychologist, the late Seth Roberts, wrote a book called, "The Shangri-La Diet" in which he used either fructose or Extra Light Olive Oil to reset the set point of hunger in his body. He did not use homeostasis as I recall. But he did say certain foods raised the set point of hunger so that we ate more, while other foods reset it lower. The two foods reset the set point downward when used at least an hour after a meal. I tried it for a week, and found myself forgetting about eating as I was not hungry. d

I started with fasting also by watching Dr. Jason Fung, lost 35 lbs, now I have been eating more like 2 or 3x a day but seemed to have kept the weight off. I try to have my last meal at 5 pm at the latest. I have been eating healthier, added fermented foods, only use olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil. But I also give myself a break once in a while and eat fast food, a cake or ice cream sometimes. I think in order to last with eating healthier is to not be too strict on yourself, that way its not too stressful.

@1:18 but what about all the nutrient dense foods you're missing when your appetite is suppressed. Isn't nutrition important to good health.

Omg... i tried this for 6 weeks... week 2 into 0.50mg and I had to stop... omg the constipation, which then led to indigestion (think gross smelly burps, diarrhea, all-night vomiting), and I was scared to eat since I absolutely hate being nauseous. Add to that the loss of muscle since it is a drug for diabetics. You need to eat more protein, more fibre (to prevent constipation), but the drug acts by literally slowing down the release of food from the stomach, which causes the colon to keep pulling water, so no matter how much water I drank, I always had dry mouth and still constipated. I will try poor man's ozempic now - psyllium fiber husk 😅... and restart intermittent fasting, which I started after reading Dr. Fung's book, The Obesity Code, thanks to which, I was able to reverse some symptoms of PCOS and went on to have a natural, healthy, easy pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby at full-term. Shortcuts are not the way. But I understand that some people have great results with Ozempic, so always do what works for you.

[@benicio1967]

I can say with absolute certainty that MOST people struggling with weight do not over eat because they’re hungry. They over eat for a myriad of reasons. I can speak from experience as someone who has struggled with that and so have many MANY people in my circle of friends and family. It’s the same with drinking. People don’t OVER DRINK because they’re thirsty. It’s initially a vice for coping that eventually leads to a compulsion or an addiction to over indulge. I knew khloe used something because her face neck and arms just shrank and so did Kim.

[@AnjaliDandriyal]

Obesity can mess with hormones as fat, especially visceral fat, has its own hormonal system that competes with the body's natural hormonal system. These hormones change how hungry and full/satiated people feel, affects their mood (which also affects appetite). It's such a complicated network. That's why it is so hard to lose weight - you literally have to fight against your brain, and one moment of weakness can topple so much progress. The weight loss industry capitalizes on that.
