Hard Truth About Weight Loss Medications

[@SarahTheAwesomeLaCroix]

While I get what you’re saying about medications not being magic and still having to put the effort in, I have never felt satiated until starting Ozempic and to me, finally being able to have actual fullness signals is pretty damn magical.

[@theofficialdrdan]

That is amazing! It is helping just as it should!

Excellent! I’ve been on Ozempic for 7months now for weight loss. What it enabled me to do was calm my craving for sweets. The conclusion I have come to is just what you say. Truth - I have to eat healthy and watch carbs and processed food if I want to be healthy. Don’t forget exercise too! Great video. Put in the work and the meds will help. Spoken from a menopausal woman.

I just started my 9th week of Wegovy, I’m on the 1st week of the 1ml dosage and I lost 2 pounds in 8 weeks. I’m 54 years old, 5’4 and I weigh166 pounds. I exercise 4 days a week with weight training and some cardio and I monitor my food and water intake. I have always had an enlarged thyroid but now I’m getting an ultrasound on my neck and some other tests done. Something is going on internally that’s keeping me from shedding weight/fat. I started with Wegovy to see if that would help with getting the weight to start coming off.🤷🏾‍♀️

Underrated channel....thank u for your work 👏🏾

[@artclasswithdeanna829]

Well...this is timely. I start Mounjaro tomorrow. This resonates as truth. Thank you!

Great talk. TRUTH!

Thanks for the reality check Dr. Dan ❤. Can you speak on our slowing metabolism as we age? I know that when I was younger I could eat like horse and still have a stable weight. Now, I feel like if I eat an ice cream cone I’m going to gain weight. Is there any way to accurately measure one’s current metabolic rate??? How would I know if I’m in a deficit if I don’t know my base point?

[@charlotteheadley9736]

Thanks for a Monday morning talk. So true

[@carlad7246]

I was wondering if you could talk about anti depressants and whether or not they could be making weight loss more difficult...ans if so what are your options. Because it's not an easy one unfortunately. Thanks so much for the very helpful content !

[@theofficialdrdan]

It depends on the antidepressant. Some certainly are weight promoting. Others less so. The newer agents tend to be better. But we also have the condition being treated and the role it plays.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6W2p36EaKmjo8U this is a webinar I did. It's long but it goes over some of the factors and drugs that can cause weight gain! It's longer but might answer some of your questions!

@Dr. Dan | Obesity Expert I would love to listen to this webinar however whenever I click on it it takes me to an audible canada link :(

Great vid, especially the comments on the mental side of weight loss. However, you may have oversimplified when saying the weight loss drugs are just appetite suppressors. Mounjaro, at least, also stimulates insulin production (but only when blood sugar is rising). This would tend to give better control over blood sugar. This still doesn’t make Mounjaro/Tirzepatide ‘magical’, to use your phrasing, and the mental side of this does indeed matter most. But man, the new meds sure can help. 💉
