General Discussion

So many people say all you need is diet/exercise, then try to blame the overweight person for not having enough willpower. Well, try dieting when you have an unnatural craving for food, and can't stop thinking about it. Try exercising when you're overweight and it's hard to simply move your body.

GLP-1s start by removing those constant thoughts about food. It quiets whatever is craving food and allows you to wait until you're actually hungry before you eat. Then, when you eat, you can stop when you feel full.

The lack of cravings also allows you to make better choices about nutrition. I eat way better than before.

The change in appetite and food choices obviously causes weight loss. As you lose weight, exercise becomes easier, so you do it more.

I'm way more active that I was before and much fitter. I do regular DEXA scans and they show my muscle mass is increasing while the fat is decreasing..

Overall, it's one of the best things I ever did for myself.

Ozempic has been prescribed for almost two decades. Plenty of data and research on GLP-1s if you care to look.
