Only 7 weeks? Best case is 15% of body weight in one year. Unrealistic expectations leads to disappointment. That's how reality works.

@@archerandthemouse technically it's 0%. It's an appetite suppressor but if you continue the same diet as before there will be no weight loss. Weight loss is a secondary effect. At 1mg per week I can eat a sandwich and not be hungry for 48 hours. Not eating for 48 hours at a time is unhealthy as it means becoming lethargic and even losing balance on your feet. The best course is to see a dietician and have a planned diet. Don't worry about fads on the internet or anecdotes, rumors. It has to be a gradual weight loss.

you can get the same effect (reduction of appetite, greater satiety) by following a diet high in fat and protein, low in carbohydrates. Taking ozempic but still eating a diet predominently of carbs will still trigger insulin and for several hours after that meal your body will be in "fat storing" mode and unable to access your fat stores. Spending more of your day in a "fat burning" mode by keeping carb intake low, insulin levels low, you will be able to burn more fat from storage. You need to be eating about 1g of protein per lb of ideal body weight, the rest you can fill in with healthy animal fats e.g. butter instead of seed oils, and veg if you really feel like you need them. I've lost over 100lbs doing the carnivore version of keto, I never feel hungry and have no desire to snack on sweet things. Lots of research backs up the idea that people doing keto diets lose more weight than people simply doing "calorie restriction" and it really makes sense when you think about hormones and their effect on hunger (leptin, ghrelin). Work with your body to lose weight, not fight against basic biology.

I was on ozempic first and had a lot of side effects and almost zero weight loss. I ended up switching to compounded tirzep and I’ve lost slightly more weight but I do know there are tons of people who don’t experience the full effects until you are on a higher dose

Try different injection places and different compound brands.

Inject site makes no difference. It’s absorbed into the bloodstream no matter where you inject it.

While that is a great suggestion, I am still working up to my correct dose. Our doctor starts at a low dose and slowly increases to larger ones to prevent some of the nasty side effects.

Actually a lot of the name brand drugs offer a huge discount. Just have to research it and ask doc.

Whoa, that is way too logical and rational for some people. People want a magical immediate answer for their bad choices.

I wish you luck in your health journey. Please remember you can quit anything that doesn't benefit you. I might suggest a radical change in diet, try a vegan/vegetarian diet. It takes a long time to permanently fix any weight problem. Fasting may not be the answer. Eating greater quantities of fruits and vegetables may be helpful. Cucumbers, Celery, Carrots, chopped are great snack foods. You can nibble without consequence, I worry greatly that you might have some side effects sooner or later.

Hi, first time listening to you and your journey on these drugs and weight loss! If you could try stay away from anything processed and make meals from scratch using lots of vegetables (big variety) to get good fibre in your diet and concentrate on good choices of proteins and stay away from carbs (sweet or savoury) I'm sure you will see a huge change in your cravings! Try not snack all day long (intermittent fasting) and make sure your first meal of the day has loads of vegetables and good portion of protein, it will set you up for the rest of the day, not being hungry all the time. Sure you know all this, plan ahead - make sure you have meals in place with these principles, so when you are hungry you won't just grab anything! Wishing you the best!

Fiber is not essential to humans, it is basically waste. Fiber goes through your system and can cause IBS issues. Vegetables are not bioavailable like meat is and actually contains many carcinogens for humans. Beef is superior nutrition for humans.

I just came across your video and it's not your fault! There's a food system that surrounds and make things less intuitive to stay in a healthy diet. But you're doing amazing taking responsibility for your own choices. You're aware that throwing money at things will not solve the problem. 👍👏🙌🙏 everything in life is one step at a time so losing weight is no different. I'm cheering for you. I'm sending you positive energy.

You need a higher does of the generic Ozempic. Or try a different drug that's in the same class. If it's not working, keep trying either a higher does or a new drug. Simple. Talk to your doctor.

I think its ridiculous that people who are not diabetic are taking this for weight loss. There is a shortage. Please leave this medicine for people who actually need it.
@bucketlistlife90815 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment, it am diabetic and it is helping me to improve that while I’m having the side effect of weight loss. My BP is down, my Cholesterol is down and my A1C is improving. The kind I am taking isn’t the name brand that is having the shortage and is available at a lower price as well. There are lots of options out there and other compounding companies besides the big name brands.
