This shows there is a bigger issue than B.E.D. She clearly has an awful food addiction. She FORCES herself to eat when she’s not hungry. I think she needs to realize that it’s OKAY TO NOT BE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE ON MEDICATION. She’s so used to being hungry/craving food that when she doesn’t, she doesn’t know what to do with herself. I feel kind of bad for her.

​@Clumsyjade very true you make a good point 👍 she doesn't want to lose weight it is pretty clear she is desperate because her views are going down. The only reason she is saying protein because she is trying to find an excuse to do feeder content AKA " taste test". She knows the feeders are where the money is at so she can't help stuffing food and eye banging herself on camera for the feeders. If she was really serious she has to give up all of that

Stop being nitpicky about the grams thing. We all know what she's talking about. Nobody in their right mind would listen to her and think she's eating 30lbs/30z/30ltrs of protein.

Watching Amberlynn push past her feelings of satiety to finish her whole bowl of pasta, shows how food addicted she is. Sad. I'm on Ozempic, the lowest dose, for borderline type 2 diabetes. Along with diet and even more exercise, I have lost 33 pounds, from 194 to 161. My sugars are great, and I'm feeling pretty darn good for a 62 year old

I'm just curious, and this may sound a bit daft, but with using ozempic for diabetes will your dosage go up over time? Or does your Dr just work out the dosage like they would when prescribing other medication to treat XYZ? It's just everytime I hear about someone using ozempic for weight loss, they always talk about how, over time, they have to go up higher and higher with the amount as they progress.

[@flatripley]

I can see why protein is hard for her because she’d addicted to eating. Eating 30g of protein per meal will make you full but then she has to stop eating.

[@HecticMolments]

Also, she wants to fill up on refined carbs like pasta, ramen, rice, dumplings, etc.

[@kastaway-mtx]

I don't even know what 30g of protein looks like, is that a full chicken or something?? I couldn't imagine being so overweight that you have to weigh your food or pull out a calculator and/or take drugs to lose weight...I'll never understand. How do they afford all this food? I shopped groceries for a party of 4 once and it was over $100 and that's just 1 day.

[@thewrongshoes]

As someone who uses to use food for comfort I can tell you: most likely she likes to eat a lot of processed carbs because you can eat a lot of it before your stomach feels too full. Now why is that a "good" thing to her? she can binge and zone out of her emotions with them. If she ate a larger piece of meat with a smaller carb portion she'd fill super full quickly and won't be able to zone out emotionally while eating as easily . Also a rush of carbs gives a little dopamine hit

The amount she eats I’m sure she was getting more than enough protein. Only reason she is on this protein fixation is so she can continue to eat when she’s not hungry and say it’s because she needs protein, it’s all crap and that’s why it all feels fake and acted out.

[@karilnowak7962]

This is certainly an important point. What confuses me is if the medication is taking away the pleasure response from eating as well as the food noise, why is she still overdoing it? She mimics enjoyment from eating the raviolis but actually grimaces after the first one and seems to burp. Yet she forces herself to continue eating. The prior video showed her eating a high protein whole food diet for a day. The quantities shown were appropriate for the diet she should be on while taking semaglutides, except it did not include any vegetables or fruit. Yet here she is changing things around, going back to processed foods with high carbs, falling victim to there's protein added so it's healthy myth, indulging in her love of the taste of chocolate and sugar which are habits she is supposed to try to break free of while on the weight loss drugs, eating too large servings and probably still having her daily salami snacks. She stubbornly clings to her old habits, cherry picks certain issues to justify what she does, has only a half baked understanding of how these drugs work despite apparently getting information on social media about them. At best she will just harm her weight loss, at worst she will cause her body more harm.

[@sisicjanwjkrgk]

she’s never cared about protein before, but now that she doesn’t need to eat, protein is all of a sudden extremely important and she needs to have several protein filled meals per day for some reason

[@Esther19870]

She is quite simply addicted to food and like all addicts will find a way and an excuse to feed her addiction. Taking these medications will not stop her eating, only willpower will do that and she has none. She doesn’t eat because she’s hungry, she probably hasn’t felt hunger for years, she eats to satisfy her addiction.

[@judeemclaughlin7394]

Amber is still refusing to deal with her mental issues in relation to food. Semaglutide actually helps with calming the addiction response. Once she is off the meds, she will have to deal with the same stuff that led to her being up to 450 pounds overweight.

[@Yogachic1971]

I had to fast forward when she spoke, she is insufferable to listen to. Honestly, she's setting herself up for failure for not planning things out, like meal prepping. She's been on so many weight loss attempts that you would think she would know this? I find counting your calories, eating in a deficit, and strength training over cardio have been the key for myself to lose 227 lbs naturally in the past 3 years.

[@PgirlRangerz]

It's an endless cycle with amberlynn lol but go YOU!! Reading your success makes me more motivated🙏🏽

[@Alice15210]

Honestly counting calories can be intimidating and takes the fun out of the whole process. Just eating less works but the problem with our gorl is that she doesn't have anything going on in her life. Her life revolves around food and eating. Actually that's how I gained 33lb, had nothing going on in my life. I didn't realise how far gone I was when I started losing weight (without trying) cos I went back to uni. The classes were long, the buildings were far away from each other (long walking), 3 min breaks in between so there was no time to eat but to just get to the next class. If Amber finds something to do, like really something that gets her busy she will actually lose it without trying. I mean this gorl just ate and said I'm excited for the left overs?? What?? Her content is food this, food that, semiglutide, and her being proud of herself

[@hyperlatina]

A side note about semi-glutides: if you are on them, you need to be off them for at least a week if you're having surgery. If not, you risk aspiration (choking) because of the way that semiglutides work (they slow down your digestion so your stomache isn't empty even if you fast before the procedure). My mom is diabetic and on semiglutides and we found this out literally about half an hour before her surgery, which we had to postpone for a week because nobody checked which type of diabetes medication she was on.

That's why I'm looking at all the people saying she shouldn't count macros like 🤔 that's the best piece of advice she could take right now, obviously she also needs rehab or therapy for her addiction but that's not the issue they're really talking about. The ones who are, are crapping on her for that and calling her names.

[@StasiaVertes]

I have never been so unintentionally early lol

[@lucidasalvia]

Her obsession with just protein because that's what the label on her food says and actually having no idea of macros in general. Girly should see a real dietician if she's that worried about her nourishment

[@tressamarie6509]

She’s only obsessed with protein right now because “tricks for getting your protein in” videos are all over tiktok right now. She doesn’t understand why it’s important or really anything about nutrition.

[@msbroomstick1]

Actually she knows perfectly well how to count macros, John even talked to her about it and said so in a previous video. She's either pretending to be ignorant to get away with some stuff or willfully saying stuff she knows are incorrect, sometimes she does both

[@JosieThenFarmer]

She was told by the medspa to eat protein, even when she was not hungry..

[@lucidasalvia]

@@tressamarie6509 and our girly is Amber's gotta be always on trend too 😂 like I'm no dietician but there's a whole lot more to sustaining a strong healthy body than just counting protein

[@Cjewell0422]

My fav protein drink is the Fairlife core protein drinks. They taste the best out of all the ones I've tried. They still contain calories so you have to be mindful but I lift weights and I also struggle to get the amount of protein I need do these help & are 42 grams

[@wideride8320]

They're pricey, but so good. The vanilla tastes like vanilla ice cream, and they have the best texture. Sometimes I "forget" to bring my Premier Protein to work so I can justify buying a Core Power while I'm there.

Supplements are meant to only supplement your needs, the goal, even after WLS is to get protein from food 1st

That choker makes me anxious 😅

[@miket.1933]

So which muscles exactly is she afraid of losing? Did she ever do any kind of resistance training in her life?

[@july3817]

you still have muscles without doing resistance training...

[@AyaTheTyga]

She will lose muscle, i guess in her mind she wants to prevent muscle loss as much as possible. Muscle in general helps with loose skin, aside from overall physical strength. She's naturally bound to lose a lot of it since shes lifting 500 lbs daily. Its not normal and takes a toll, so ensuring adequate protein will help with satiety and fullness but also support long term muscle maintenance (despite that she will definitely lose a lot, over time with weight loss). However .. not eating enough can cause your body to eat at muscles before the fat.

[@Jess-Rabbit]

Hearing someone who has never worked out a day in her life say she doesnt want to lose muscle is so confusing. What exactly is she worried about? Its not as though she worked hard to attain a specific strength of physique. Unless the physique is round... I also find it hard to believe that most people in America dont get enough protein. Those who arent vegan or veg or health concious at all are eating meat like every single meal. Plus all the burgers and hot dogs and whatever other garbage most people eat regularly

[@july3817]

you can still lose muscle if you restrict too hard for too long. Not that it's realistic for her to worry about that because she couldn't stick long enough to any program to lose anything, but you can absolutely lose muscle even if you don't work out. And then it's even more scary because you're not using a couple inches of biceps you're losing the more essential muscles.

[@cheslxy]

There's no journey 😂

[@nyx4081]

20 protein and 6 bacons

[@brainiacandbeyond]

As a person who has had gastric bypass surgery, I have an appetite that varies from day to day (which is typical). I don’t “force” myself to eat. It disrupts my hunger & fullness cues. My favorite non dairy protein shake is Pirq (for the vegans or lactose intolerant -- like myself)😊😊 Supplements can be a useful tool. If u consistently can’t get your basic nutritional needs, I think a dietician visit is needed (if one can access that).

[@Fluffy-Fluffy]

Her trying to get phisolophical about "what is food" is just sounding like she really wants to come off as smart, wise and deep.

[@AmberA52]

To your point about being on the meds long term, I have severe Gastroparesis, which is a rare condition that these meds mimic to some degree. My condition severely slows my stomach and causes an array of symptoms but one major one is early satiety. I can only eat about 1/2 cup worth of food at a time because my stomach empties INSANELY slow. I've had it now for 5+ years, and I'm sure people will think it's crazy, but this doesn't result in a quality of life anyone would ever want long term. Ever. Yes, I've lost weight, but my selection of foods is limited, and activities related to food are non-existent. I miss food as I went to culinary school and worked in F&B most of my life but can't eat it and I have yet to be able to maintain a stable weight. There is nothing fun about it. It's impacted my ability to exercise and keep up my previous active lifestyle. So, to assume someone has to stay on this long-term, it feels like we are setting people up to fail. It's going to get old and like many meds people will think they can go without it and stop. Or if they change insurance or the coverage changes then they are F-ed.

[@wolventiger]

Semaglutide and ozempic are the same thing... ozempic is just the brand. Like Benadryl and Duphenhydramine or Tylenol and acetaminophen....

I’ve been doing build-around-protein as a meal planning technique and it’s been very instructive.

[@moosetartare]

8:26 The problem with protein products are artificial sweeteners. I don't know if this is the case of preferences or predisposition (or lack of) to taste them, but to me and many other people they're just vile. This is why I stick to pure protein powders.

I haven't been in the fat verse for awhile so it's nice to come back and see what's going on and I must say you're looking really good.

[@Adelemphii]

3:35 This is DEFINITELY what I've been experiencing. For the past couple of years of my life I've eaten very poorly, and my stomach actually just 5 months ago gave out and stopped tolerating that I was eating dairy products while lactose intolerant. I've cut out some of the foods I've eaten every day for years, and now I'm also eating less because of it and in this past month alone I've been struggling with malnutrition issues where I've been faint from not eating enough of certain types of food.

[@dez6278]

There an otc supplement for lactose intolerant people called lactase I think. You take it before foods with lactose.

[@raeanna451]

I know this is a tangent on a short part of the video. My favorite protein forward meal though is sushi grade ahi tuna (I can get three in a pack for $5 at our Aldi's). I marinade my own poke. Serve it over shredded iceberg lettuce add avocado, edamame, a big portion of the tuna poke, sesame seeds, and a homemade Sriracha mayo. So good I have it at least three times if not more a week.

[@jammypantz]

LIFE HACK with those protein shakes y'all- I get a large plain cold brew or iced coffee when i'm out(or make it at home)and mix half a bottle with it. it's actually soo good. If youre gonna have coffee anyway this is such an easy way to sneak in protein.

[@kastaway-mtx]

yeah but you're probably not 600lbs, better life hack- if you're fat don't buy protein shakes.

[@jammypantz]

@@kastaway-mtx You certainly don’t have to do it :) my mom was 370 lbs her whole life and is now 165lbs and she actually taught me this. Protein is for everyone, and especially obese people can benefit from the satiety it offers

I use Premier Protein as a base for my smoothie after working out. Some Greek yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, or a banana and a handful of spinach (you can't taste it when it's all mixed up). Great snack.

[@martintanz9098]

I am on Mounjaro over 6 months now. Down 75 pounds. I am 25 pounds away from 100 pounds down. 45 pounds away from getting under 200 pounds, which is more weight loss than I thought I could do. So I can see myself getting to 100 pounds down by September or October, and maybe to 120 pounds down by the end of the year. But even if I don’t, I feel fairly successful already. I started at a little over 300 pounds, and even before I started Mounjaro, I lost almost 20 pounds the first 2 weeks. When you start a weight loss program, you drop a lot of weight in the first couple of weeks. More than you ever see again. ALR at 500 pounds should be losing more weight the first few weeks. Like 40 or 50 pounds at this rate, her weight loss will slow down very soon. Will she sustain weight loss when it slows to 1 or 2 pounds down a week? Or if she slips up and gains some weight back? ALR will need to sustain this program for 3, maybe 4 years before she gets close to a reasonable goal weight. And that is a hard thing to sustain. And that is TBD if someone with Ambers track record can do it.

I recently started tracking my meals and i didnt realize how little protein i have been eating over the years. for the past month and a half i have been getting 200g of protein a day and staying in a calorie deficit and am down to 285 without gyming, just my job thats physical labour. remember people, you cant outwork a bad diet!

[@pandorarose3]

My uncle was put on Monjaro last year, and he has ALWAYS shoved WAY more food into him than he should. After starting it, he 'claimed' he was feeling full quicker, BUT I would watch him eat just about the same amount of food. He would sit there going, 'I am done' eating dinner, but 2 minutes later, he would grab whatever coffee cake we have in the house and eat it. Something he did before stating it. He is now seeing a new doctor who said, 'I am pulling you off of it because you're not diabetic, and you have been stagnant on your weight.' She also clearly said if he doesn't lose ANY weight, she will know it's because he is overeating. Because he is always saying, 'I don't eat a lot' when we watch how much he eats. My stomach feels sick when I watch him shoving food into his mouth.

I watch her through a reaction channel and it is kind of annoying that they, both the reactor and the watchers, are so blinded by hating her that they literally cant stop themselves from criticizing her actions when she FINALLY does something right. Yes, she should be losing weight faster but drinking protein shakes is not a bad thing. She uses protein as an excuse to eat, obviously, but its better than a bag of doritos or whatever other trash

Are you new? She’s not FINALLY doing anything. She’s been on the protein bandwagon before. This isn’t even the first time she’s been on these particular shakes. She’ll pay lip service to some kind of nutritional wisdom, disregard several elements, and focus only on the parts she can interpret as a green light to eat more. Then when it doesn’t work, she’ll binge and blame everyone and everything except herself. Lather, rinse, repeat. Oh, and she’s 100% eating the Doritos and other trash when the camera is off. She always has.

If you are giving it yourself with an insulin needle like you would from that form of semaglutide, yes, that stinging/itching sensation is normal if you happen to pull a drop of the reconstituted solution on the tip of the needle. The drop may be so small you can’t even see it. That’s why it will appear as though it has no apparent cause when sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t.

Regarding the protein drinks: I've heard that eating a healthy diet changes our taste buds, especially the sweet ones (very scientific I know) so if you've cut back on regular sweet foods entirely, fruit will taste sweeter to you than it did when you were eating lots of junk. I gave my daughter a protein drink one time because I didn't think she was eating enough protein (she was probably 19 at the time) and she said they were gross...we tried a few different flavors and brands. I LOVE the Premier Choc Peanut Butter one that Amberlynn is drinking, it's my favorite and the only one I'm currently buying. I think those that have dieted throughout the years are more inclined to enjoy protein drinks vs those that are new to dieting/healthy eating.

[@ByeByeBelly]

Having enough protein is important but huge weight loss pauses your hair growth to conserve energy so it's often gonna happen no matter what you do. Your old hairs fall out like they normally would but the new growth is in a resting phase so it gets thinner

So I can do the girl dinner snack tray I love but make sure I’m still getting protein in most of it.

I almost genuinely think that NOW she's convinced herself that she must eat enough protein, so that she must keep eating or it's going to be a bad effect. It's like no one's told her that it's okay not to eat when you're on a diet (and this drug) and it's going to be all right. I went on Saxenda for two months and It is really surprising how much you are not hungry. So I'm guessing she's having this sort of mental war between she thinks she has to be eating because it's her addiction and she thinks she has to eat a lot of protein deapite hunger cues, but she's having to learn that it's not necessary when she's losing that amount of weight.

[@bentbutnotbroken9193]
