Shit I can lose 8 pounds in a week without taking anything. I mean I have to put my mind to it but any time Ive beared down, Ive done it.So, doing a bunch of googling it seems there are weight loss clinics pushing this, and similar, stuff. Apparently the clinical studies talk about losing 5% of body weight in a year. So if I'm 160 pounds, I can expect to lose a whopping 8 pounds after an entire year? People should be able to lose 8 pounds in 2 to 4 weeks on any normal, non drug related, diet.
I don't see the attraction, especially at the price point... Surly I'm missing something?
The attraction for most people is they can loose weight without changing a thing. And their insurance may pay for it. In general i find people will try to take what ever the easy road is before they will attempt the harder path. Some guys will up the dose rather then work on improving their diet as an injection is easier the the alternative.So, doing a bunch of googling it seems there are weight loss clinics pushing this, and similar, stuff.

Well to respond to you're question of why anyone would use it. Is because for someone like me losing weight and keeping it off is such a bitch that you litterally can't go out to party's or social events where you know youll have to eat foods that will open the flood gates. Or there are times when I litterally cannot sleep despite how burnt out I am because food cravings keep you up at night where you have to decide between blowing your diet or getting actual sleep. You can't focus at work or be present. The cravings and desire to eat can be so extreme it physically impairs your quality of sleep. I remember I'd wake up to piss and find my self half asleep eating food not even fully aware of what I was doing. Hormones / the brain it's a powerful thing. Semaglutide shuts the fatass voice in the back of my brain allowing me to live my life. I lost 50 lbs without it. But it wasn't sustainable to keep it off. Semaglutide is allowing me to live my life again.My daughter is on some king called selexa..
she has lost almost 30lbs in 2-1/2 months.
It blunts her hunger and helps her to curb her appetite.
My ins pays for it. If it did not its
Like 1200$ a month..
She does not work out but I will go shared and say if she did the loss would be greater.
But she is only 18 and insecure with her body…
My wife has used it with no work for her..
She has also Tried the above the OP mentioned.
Made her sick and nauseous..
Had to stop.
She has a hard time losing weight but she is also on a ssri for anxiety and depression and this drugs cause weight gain.
It’s water and it does something I. The brain to slow metabolism…
It also makes you crave sugar and makes you very insulin resistant.
I love her no matter what and I would rather have her a little chunky and happy then fit and depressed.
Why would anyone who does what we do resort to a medicine like this . Close your mouth do some cardio and train insane. All else falls into place..
He'll yeah man. Honestly at this point I'm willing to do whatever drug it takes to make it possible. I'd rather die then be fat af again lol. But that being said I do think people lean too heavy on this drug. The guy at my clinic pushed me to a higher dose because he wanted to see "faster weight loss" that pissed me off because I was still losing weight. It was just slow. But I was alright with that. And don't want it to be effortless. it's important to me to still practice discipline and self control. It's a mental muscle that needs to stay strong. Now my dose is increased and I'm under eating. I'm exposing myself to more tolerance. Fuck this and fuck him I'm ordering it UGL now.Bro I am glad it works for you..
If this is what it takes to attain your goals then by all means.
For me when I am trying to get some pounds off I will eat anything that keeps me full.
Since I was out into a diet by someone back in March I started to eat a lot of fruits.
Now when I am in bed at night and I have cravings my go to is apples..
I find that the cold crispy was if a apple satisfying and if need be I will eat 2.
Bro dieting and losing weight is a hard thing to do..
So whatever works to get the job done do it.
Hey man. So when you come off it dose your hunger return to normal? Or is there infact an overcompensation of appetite in extreme hunger? Like I notice a large hunger rebound when I come off of stimulants for appetite suppression I can litterally eat the God damn fridge. Lol just curious so I can prepare myself for when I come off this shit lolI have ran semaglutide(Ozempic). stalls out about 3 months. I stopped using it and started bulking so the hunger rebound would go toward muscle gains. After this cycle I will do mounjaro(Tirzepide) for a little bit to cut up even further.
Alot of interesting information on GLP agonists.
improves lipolysis, prevents muscle catabolism, browns white fat.
First of all. That's your wife in your profile picture? hats off you to my dudeits a little hard to tell. I was running DECA so I was getting hungrier.
The studies say the fat people regained their weight, but probably because of their unhealthy lifestyle.
my wife dropped 20. regained 5. and hasnt moved. She was 140. I Think she was 125 in my profile pic.
she stopped. she regained some of the water weight and freaked out. injected herself with 0.25mg of tirzepide lol.First of all. That's your wife in your profile picture? hats off you to my dude
Second.. yeah that's what my thinking Is too. I'm hoping to really hit the ground running.
But that was a big worry of mine so I'm glad your wife is having success that makes me excited.
Also did she taper down? Or just cold turkey it? What dose was she on and for how long?
That's the big red flag for me about this drug. I only ever hear about the weight loss. You don't hear much about the aftermath of when people come off. So I really appreciate the feedback
