I eat half of what I used to and still struggling with the weight but also have some other things going on. It has helped me look at food very differently and actually doing that with the eating less I've been working out now cause I somehow now I want to? Also now counting calories so we'll see. BUT I'm also only on 2mg not the big numbers some are with stuff other than Ozempic. It has not at all made me want to drink less alcohol but that was a personal choice I made just this week. It's an aide to changing my mind about food. That is the only thing I can say about it as far as the weight loss.

I don't like videos like this because Jillian is not a medical doctor and she is clearly giving medical advice. I was just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and prescribed Mounjaro. The plan is to be on it for 3-6 months while I work on building healthier eating habits now that I've been diagnosed. I've taken Metformin and it did not have any big benefit for me. Obviously the "celebrity obsession" with these things for weight loss is bad, but these drugs can help people that have received a diagnosis. Some people need this stuff. Some people get it properly prescribed by medical doctors and use it as a tool while they try to rebuild eating habits. Having a "fitness influencer" come on your show to give medical advice and put a stigma on a particular class of medication is bogus. She has never taken it herself, so she can't claim "personal experience" either. This is just bad all around.

[@Glo50h]

She’s more than a fitness influencer. She’s a certified nutritionist and has authored several books on health. Even prominent doctors have had her on their show because she is educated in this area.

[@keepinmind8846]

Check out Jillian info, she agrees with you. Her advice is to work on health while taking meds so you can get off them, change hablits and lifestyle when possible to never take them again. I had D2, PCOS, rheumatism. Metformin and Mounjaro made me extremly sick. I changed by lifestyle, learned about healthy eating, added exercise and have been off meds for 3 months while having good blood sugar levels. It's not easy, exercise is a must, some off days due to stress but yoga has helped. Works better for me then meds. She has done her research, has a helpful youtube and podcast. I'm grateful to have found Jillian. Still learning and improving. Check out Hubberman too and go down the healh rabbit hole.

[@justjulia8007]

It is very biased. And as far as I’ve been informed by my licensed medical doctor, Ozempic & Wegovy when used correctly, can have very positive effects on those who need it. Metformin can be just as problematic so I see no issue with the informed medical decisions of adults.. other than the “celebrity” culture that seek it out exclusively for dramatic weight loss.

Lastly, I respect Jillian and have incorporated her fitness experiences into my own daily habits. These off label use drugs do not replace hard work, discipline and self awareness.

[@mrz4845]

It really annoys me that people assume through ignorance or due the desire for business promotion purposes that overweight equals poor diet or overeating. There are medical conditions leading to weight gain eg need for medications to treat medical conditions or eg poly ovarian cystic syndrome. My daughter has exercised dieted etc all her life but her weight increased regardless due to pocs. She tried metformin which is for insulin resistant conditions but it caused severe muscle cramping it was not until ozempic that she was finally able to lose weight. Unfortunately due to short supply in Australia as the USA market seems to get priority she was not able to continue treatment. With no changes to diet and with increased exercise her weight increased back up. The side effects appear to be no different to most drugs ie may cause any condition under the sun liability waiver. It is not a short term drug it is a lifelong drug until a better alternative comes along. It iss always naturally thin people who think diet and exercise is the answer. Sometimes we need to look to the medical professionals and genetic heritage ie. medical conditions going down the line like pocs to find the answers

[@justjulia8007]

[@janepar715]

Yes, very true. In these types of conversations people tend to forget that there are a plethora of other reasons one may be overweight. It is not always overeating (though usually that seems to be the case) so we should never judge without knowing first. And weight loss for people who don't overeat truly require the guidance of a doctor to do blood exams to really pinpoint any other illness one may be suffering from if the weight gain is abnormal.

Umm I’m not sure why she had to stop treatment as I live in Australia and ‘Saxenda’ does the same and readily available.

[@mamabug4629]

You said what I was planning to say but better. Most of the research I've read on T2D points to insulin resistance being there first prior to the weight gain, at least for those who develop it while in their 20s and 30s. Yes it can still be controlled through a rigorous low carb diet (not just 'eating less'), but the slightest disruption to that routine can cause it all to come crashing down again. That there are obese people who are not T2D is evidence that the correlation isn't as direct as 'health and wellness' experts depict. My opinion - these aren't miracle drugs and you may have side effects, however if you are morbidly obese or T2D and can tolerate them then they are perfectly legitimate ways to achieve better health and nobody should make you feel like you 'just don't have enough self control' for using them.

But with all the abuse of Ozempic & the negative talk, I'm shamed to admit I'm on it, even though it was obviously what I needed to get my blood sugar under control (other meds do have horrible side effects - I don't care what JM says!) & get the head start I needed. I don't want people thinking I'm just using the fad "miracle drug" which was never the case. I didn't even know Ozempic could have a weight loss benefit when I started it. It was a great surprise. I'm sick of the negativity & resent the shaming & the implication that I could be taking an easy way out. I still make healthy decisions. I do agree it's abused, but don't put everyone into one convenient box of negativity. Btw - I was blessed to have very mild side effects.

It’s about using any form of medication as prescribed and in conjunction with lifestyle change and exercise and once you’ve trained yourself not to be an emotional eater or glutton, then once off the drug, continue your lifestyle regimen. No drug or weight loss procedure is a permanent fix all, therefore to maintain your results, you have to continue with behavioral changes, and get therapy for any and all underlying issues that caused you to marry food in the first place. It’s all about accountability people! It’s not Ozempic’s fault if you’re abusing the use of the medication. That’s why there are warnings incorporated in the instructions for all medications. The Pro’s and the Con’s. Read the fine print!! 0:10

I lost 35lbs on Ozempic. I am not diabetic. One of my closest friends lost 90lbs and has kept it off for over a year. This is her opinion.

Congrats to u 😊

Sure it side effects to any drug

It kills your sweet tooth in my experience. The main key is it keeps your glucose lower over night when you are sleeping.

[@leecoulon6790]

I've taken it for awhile now, but they increased the dosage about a year to aid in facilitating weight loss. I got super sick last week and had to go to the ER. They said it was a stomach bug. I've never been that sick before! I was throwing up bile and dry heaving, cold profuse sweating for 18 hours straight! It was quite an ordeal! They gave three different things; Zofran, Phenergan, and lastly Valium. I slept a couple hours went home and was told not to take Ozempic for awhile. Oh yeah, I was passing a kidney stone while all this was going on! On the flip side, I've lost over 60 lb now and I have more energy, and started walking! Hopefully, I'll lose some of my fluff, but IDK...I do live in one of the best places to eat in the world. Hello Megyn from Louisiana!

[@mooncat4965]

You got sick because it delays gastric emptying.

[@ManOnTheMounjaro]

Jillian, you need to stop.

[@lynettebalta8374]

Okay now question for both Michaels and Megan. What about those with PCOS? It's a medical condition. And can cause weight gain. Difficulty with losing weight. If there's other medical conditions involved, extremely difficult. There's all kinds of reasons for medication. My daughter has PCOS and kidney disease.

[@rebeccawilson7953]

Consult a doctor but metformin actually works well for pcos

[@kulst9753]

I thick they are mainly talking about using it strictly for weight loss not any other health conditions. My experience is absolutely everyone I know is on this. Some just need to exercise and eat right. I think it’s about people like that who just want a miracle without the work. It’s good for people who need it not people who are just too lazy to do any work. If you have an eating issue related to emotions … she’s saying see a Thetapist. I honestly can seed half the people I know gaining all their weight back or 1/2

This is a conversation for a doctor's consult, and hopefully one who knows about PCOS because Jillian's advice is CRAP for those suffering with PCOS. If only she was self-aware and could say "I'm not a doctor and I don't know everything."

[@caitlin6503]

I want to hear her explain about Metformin. Very interesting convo!

[@LastRites3030]

Michaels has no qualifications to speak on medications, including Metformin.

[@Nathanallenpinard]

The problem with Metformin is that for some (like me) it eventually stops working. Though you still take it in order to protect your Kidneys. My doc has me on Ozempic and Metformin. Though Ozempic is completely out of stock now.

[@mamabug4629]

Metformin is an insulin sensitizing medicine that can help lower blood sugar if you are in a low A1C range (e.g. 6-7ish) to start and can have a side effect of mild weight loss. It is usually the first step before you end up with either insulin, keto, or a semiglutide.

[@sharpaycutie2]

People underestimate the power of eating healthy and working out. It’s hard but it’s not harmful and it does the best for people who are dealing with health issues

[@purselady7323]

Omg what does Jillian know?

[@Glo50h]

She’s written some excellent health books that were recommended by several reputable doctors. Everything was well-sourced, and excellently researched. She’s not just a trainer, she’s educated in this area.

[@jbsnyder3477]

[@catnip3420]

With all due respect, this woman needs to see a doctor for her adhd or whatever she's got. 😂 Its hard to not be annoyed by her. Another thing, in order to lose weight you need to control your blood sugar, which is what ozempic does. So an overweight diabetic is now able to lose weight. Personally, wasn't successful with just diabetic pills and or insulin. While i am concerned about side effects need to reduce due to other issues so will see.

[@Cherishartz]

Does this woman think that a lot of us have tried it all? Isn’t it better to do and use what you can to reduce your blood sugar and lose weight. She needs a reality check. She needs a therapist.

[@4karma860]

Ozempic is fine for people with t2 and insulin resistance! I'm disappointed at the fearmongering here.

[@rochellet7303]

Glad to see Jillian Michaels against Ozempic but I was super surprised (and disappointed) to see her pushing another drug, Metformin, instead. (Rather than switching to a low carb diet (20 or below) which has been shown to absolutely improve metabolic markers and reverse Type 2 diabetes.

[@pdm8446]

Just FYI, there’s nothing like reversal of DM2, it a medical condition that can be managed and controlled.

[@kam0406]

Jillian Michael's was low key abusive to obese people on the show Biggest Loser. None of the contestants kept.the weight off. The fact is, we desperately need a treatment for the management of obesity. Obese people have biological reasons why they gain back weight easier. We should be cautious when prescribing a new drug, but if the long term studies show it to be safe, I see this as a game changer. Obesity is a chronic issue. Once you have type 2 diabetes, you gain weight easier. You can reverse it, but it is difficult to combat biological changes obesity promotes in the body.

[@matthewgaulke8094]

A common pattern I see in life is the pull towards balance. Everything has a price to be paid. You either pay it up front or pay later with interest. I am extremely skeptical of medications because of this pattern that nature always tries to find the balance. Maybe the medication helps but as wonderful as it is there is going to be an equally terrible side effect.

[@JW-pb8fg]

Of course Jill believes that the solution is exercise because that’s her specialty! She’s totally wrong. Research proves that exercise doesn’t help weight loss. The only thing that helps with weight loss and diabetes is eliminating carbs from your diet. BTW, Jilian is NOT a medical professional or expert and it’s dangerous to listen to her medical advice. I’m surprised that Meghan has her on her show. I’m very disappointed in her. 😢

[@gabrielschroll3824]

Can you show me what the research is, exactly? You realize exercise burns calories, and a person's weight is all about calories in/calories out. Furthermore, muscle burns more calories than fat, and the only way to gain muscle is exercise. So you're absolutely wrong, and I'm curious what hack did this particular research you're mentioning.

[@michellesmith2793]

You don't have to be a medical professional to learn this stuff. All you have to do is be able to read and want to learn. Lol at my last doctor visit my physician literally said "I don't know let's Google it." 🤦‍♀️

[@sassysandie2865]

Eliminating carbs?? Hardly.

Unfortunately, whenever I see Jillian, I am reminded of her management of all those folks on the show The Biggest Loser and how most of them gained their weight back using her method to lose weight. Honestly, I can't even listen to this interview and don't take her opinion seriously anymore.

“Get a therapist” from Julian is so fucked. Everything is nuanced. Some people’s lives depend on this medication.. even for weight. Yes.. maybe if you’re a few pounds over weight and you seek this medication, then you need a reality check. But don’t shit on something that you don’t understand.

[@paigeawin]

I couldn't stand listening to nor watching Jillian after 30 seconds. Her inability to answer any questions simply nor adequately made her mannerisms even more annoying.

[@ryandeffley7652]

There's a lot of irony hearing Jill talk about a weight loss solution being a band-aid when 90% of Biggest Loser contestants regained all their weight back. 😂 But she isn't wrong. The same cravings and behaviors that led to the weight gain come back the second people go off Ozempic. So it isn't really fixing anything. Then most of the weight they do lose on Ozempic comes from muscle loss. So the combo of muscle loss and extreme calorie reduction leads to a crashed metabolism. This is the same reason why Biggest Loser people all regained the weight. 💯

[@lburbs]

Mounjaro is a life saving drug for me as a type 2 diabetic. My blood sugar is greatly improved and so is my cholesterol. I haven’t had any side effects and my weight loss has been moderate. Jillian is proving how uneducated she is on this subject.

[@lanabradley8016]

I personally know someone who is over 400lbs and does not have Type II diabetes. I also know someone who weighs 110lbs all her life and has type II diabetes. I don't believe that type II diabetes is brought on by weight gain. So listening to Jillian Michaels say we bring it on ourselves is ridiculous.

[@cyndimanka]

Jillian Michaels claims that autophagy is so bad for you and you do not want autophagy. Autophagy is your body’s process of reusing all the damaged cell parts. Cells are basic building blocks of every tissue an organ in your body overtime. These parts can become defective or stop working. They are literally junk and unhealthy. Your body is cellular recycling system is called autophagy. It takes the junk and repurposing it into salvageable parts and your cell discard the parts. It doesn’t need. I wouldn’t listen to Jillian, Michaels, she doesn’t really know much. She was blasted for this autophagy thing by many health experts.

Why doesn't anyone talk about the UK study that tied weight gain to microbiome in the gut? It came out a few years ago. It showed that certain gut bacteria cause weight gain and it's almost impossible to lose, which unless it's killed off, will make people regain any weight they are able to lose (others can't lose at all no matter how hard they try). Where are those Drs and why aren't they screaming from the rooftops? FMT is a solution btw.
