5:2 worked great for me. I wouldn't say I'm low carb, but definitely tried to eat mostly healthy overall: Normal breakfast small omelet with veggies or no added sugar yogurt with fruit and rolled oats, normal lunch a mix of 4 beans, tofu, and veggies like broccoli, sweet potato, pumpkin or avocado. I don't choose dinner but usually it's not too bad and contains a relatively lean protein and veggies
Every girlfriend I have ever had will freak out cause they are losing weight and not hungry. I tell them. When your with me how often do we eat fast food or heat and eat food and they say never. Then they say well I only eat fast food 2 or 3 times a day a week. That’s all it takes but I knew that they were eating it 6 or 7 a week. Fast food has zero nutritional value. Full of bad sodium and sweetener and something else that will make you crave it just like energy drinks and diet drinks.
As a wellness expert who worked with thousands of people that experienced a cardiac event, end stage lung condition, high risk of thrombosis and or diabetes. As such I’ve got some opinions. One that I particularly like is “nothings off limits but it’s all about how much and how often”. This addresses the dietary approaches most folks need to consistently stay a healthy weight. Often if one can attain a healthy weight/BMI, this may offset further damage or complications of all of the most common lifestyle diseases. 👩⚕️ nurse Simone.
These comments are only great for those commenting. People who have MTHFR, PCOS, OSA, are Insulin resistant, high ferritin levels, NAFLD cannot easily lose weight without intervention. There is so much to educate one’s self on regarding weight loss.
@@CB-bl7beThe biggest intervention for all of these is a very very low carb diet. PCOS for example cannot be cured according to "the experts" so medication would only fix excess hair issues etc. A diet with almost no carbs would without a doubt get rid of PCOS. We were told that diabetes couldn't be cured until a few years ago. Truth is it can be cured in a matter of weeks. As someone who ate too many carbs I found that eating 30g for breakfast stopped hunger, fatigue etc. It then becomes easy to avoid them. Your body quickly stops wanting sugar and carbs. Also, please look up the long term side effects of Ozempic, there are many (and nasty ones).
The thing about Ozempic is that it makes you lose weight by making you feel full, so you eat less. As it turns out eating less will cause you to lose weight - who knew?
It slows down gastric emptying so you feel full, food stays rotting in your stomac for days. I know people who go out and get drunk and eat too much and are vomiting up food they hate 4 to 4 5 days ago. I have read a lot about these meds, nobody coukd pay me enough to take it!! You van loose weight without it. As soon as people on it stop they stack on all the weight and more. My friends doc offered Ozempic to her for Mody Diabetes, she told her doc the info I told her, doctors response, oh, so You know about that, so that's a no you don't want it. Low carb, no sugar and you WILL loose weight the healthy way!!! Even with no exercise!!!
Exactly my point. We have no idea what damage long term use causes as they haven’t been out long enough. 10-20 years down the line they will try to cover the damage just like other drugs that are no longer on the market!

20 years ago the typical dose was lower. 60% of the people who take this drug are off of it within one year. I had not heard of eye problems but the gastroparesis and the pancreatitis that are so commonly reported are scary enough.
I cut out soda, fast food, 80% of ultra process foods, cook with non seed oils. I eat one meal a day and its a big meal. Lost 87lbs and reversed my diabetes, lowered my blood pressure. It was hard for only 3 days to start but got easier overtime, very little willpower involved.
I started Sunday and feels good. I slept better . I don't even have weird dreams . I hope helps me because I suffer from diabetes and overweight, I took victoza and lose only 11 lbs in the period of 6 months but use to inject every day and also have weird dreams. Now I'm doing ozempic. I pray God helps me
I was wondering if you found it hard to lose weight like diets never worked for you? I am currently extremely close to being diagnosed as diabetic. my A1 is high. Trying to lose weight on low carb low sugar diet, but it’s just hard to come off. I was offered an Olympic drug, but turned it down in favor of Met Forman and dieting
The wonderful thing about low carb combined with intermittent fasting is the lack of hunger ( just like ozempic !) Your body adapts to fat burning in a matter of weeks and bingo, you're burning your excessive visceral fat!
@@whatsamatteryou791 my weight wasn't my issue actually. Runs in my family my dad died from diabetes my grandfather too . They was skinny. When I was younger was 120 pounds and have diabetes already. Now I'm older and my diabetes is always control . Is just the pounds . But I take this meds because my father died taking insulin etc. I believe insulin hurt he's kidneys . So I don't take that insulin or metformin. I take jardience and ozempic and is been helping me with controlling glucose. And losing some weight
@@JennWatson well I'm 43 I try all that. You can't do intermittent fasting in diabetes people. We have to still have small portion of food. Otherwise sugar can get high or lower. And is just no for me. I try all this and end up in hospital. If that's works for you well . Great for you.
@@adr1ana1000 You are wrong. People with diabetes SHOULD be doing intermittent fasting. Only eating one meal a day is now being recommended. This makes your blood sugars more stable and easier to manage, without a lot of highs and lows, which are very damaging. You will also need less insulin which will help you lose weight. Do some homework and talk to an endocrinologist. They can help you adjust your medication so you don't have the highs and more importantly, the low blood sugars.
Yes, my Dr put me on it even though I wasn't extremely overweight i tried it for 2 1/2 months. First two months on lowest dose the first two days of each week/ injection, I was sick as a dog. She upped me to the next dosage and I couldn't stop throwing up for 3 days straight. I did this for two weeks which is two doses and I threw the rest out. I lost about 25 lbs myself I had lost only 6 lbs total after all that and I made some major changes like only organic when possible which is about 80-90% of my diet and I chose quality over quantity. I slip up once in a while which is easy to do when you live with other people but I usually shop and cook for myself so I don't have that temptation as often. It's not easy but overall I'm satisfied with how I'm doing and this is what I plan on doing unless they ruin organic foods too then we'll all be eating bugs 🙄
I have lost 135 lbs. since starting Ozempic. I have type II diabetes and was having no luck losing weight. I am now under 300 lbs. for the first time in over 25 years. This after dietitians, trainers, and doctors, were confused by my persistent weight (I gained while on steroids for an unrelated condition). Once diagnosed with diabetes, no one considered the original cause of the weight gain. The label was more important than the cause. Being heavy was humiliating. People assume they know your story and why you are "Fat". Try eating a diet that restricts you to 15 grams of carbohydrates per day because that is what it took to even get the needle on the scale to budge. That is like a quarter of an apple, less than half a potato, a slice of bread. Heaven forbid you should eat any fruit under those restrictions. Thank God, I don't like candy. It is a miserable existence. Ozempic has helped with my diabetes, but has seriously helped with my weight. I still walk and do yard work, but I just look better doing it.
I couldn't take the injection or the pill form because of side effects and I'm glad I didn't because of stuff like this and the chance of Thyroid cancer. Risks are too great. I fixed all my issues anyway with Ultra-Low carb diet and intermittent fasting. No pills or injections, just results. I was 495lbs and today I'm where I need to be.
it can be done we dont this but the consequence of returning back to your weight if you stop the medication which much much greater risk because you loss most your muscles in the process. I did IF not low carb loss 32 kgs and now i am injecting exercise to bring back the muscles.
FWIW, I went from 244 to 179 on semaglutide over 20 months. It still takes a lot of effort and constant vigilance, but at least it's possible now. And my A1C has gone below 6 while I no longer need insulin. So far, it's all been positive, but I do know folks who can't tolerate the drug at all. Unfortunately, my insurance refuses to cover tirzepetide.
@@gonebyrv9748 Some have tapered off slowly with success, but I don't plan to unless I have to. Folks with HIV need to take HIV meds the rest of their lives. Folks with diabetes need insulin the rest of their lives (unless they take one of these drugs). There are lots of conditions that require continual medication.
NAION will happen overnight. Literally you wake up one morning with one side vision loss. There are not normally any signs. The visual field defect usually occurs in the bottom half of your eye and it will look like there is a curtain or dark area blocking your vision. Blurred vision and double vision does happen in NAION patients but it is normally happening after the initial loss of vision. I have NAION of unknown cause (non diabetic, never taken the shots, etc.). I woke up one day partially blind and there is no cure or treatment. So I urge everyone to please consider this risk.
Every, literally every, drug used today has extreme side effects for some percentage of the population. Ibuprofen can cause stomach perforation, kidney failure, bladder tumors. Lets hear conversations about the actual risks.
A retrospective analysis from a study involving 66 million U.S. patients, published in the *Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology*, found no increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) among users of semaglutide.
Every prescription is a form of poison and may work but may have side effects. You always need to weight the pros & cons of each drug (no pun intended) before filling and taking any prescription.
This seems to be a thinly veiled promotional advertisement for the weight loss industry. I wouldn't care, but diabetics have been unable to get the medication because it has been bought up by those with commercial interests.
Many peptides have risk. My concern is overdose. The optimization and increasing lifespan people tend to micro dose/cycle peptides. Compound and start at half recommended dose.
@@loriar1027 Falsch. Das eingefallene Gesicht entsteht durch Verlust an Muskelmasse im Gesicht. Zu einem Verlust an Muskelmasse kommt es, wenn die Menschen Ozempic spritzen, wenig essen aber weiter Kohlehydrate essen. Eine ketogene Ernährung kombiniert mit intermittierendem Fasten führt zu Fettverlust unter Erhaltung der Muskelmasse. Davon profitiert aber Pharma nicht. Vielleicht suchen Sie Vorträge von Ben Bikman zu diesem Thema.
Can you imagine how much of a game changer Retratrutide is going to be. Three mechanisms of action. And then the future weight loss drugs are going to be even better.
Always seek your doctor’s advice first and foremost. Don’t try on your own. Do your research and bring your data to your doctor. That’s all this video states.
If you overeat in it it causes nausea and vomiting. You still have to have discipline. You can also end up dehydrated and hospitalized. People who aren't motivated to change their life wit it after a short while.
@@EK-wi2me I am on it, I feel much better on it than I did not on it. Not on it, my end was almost guaranteed to come within 10 years if my family history was an indication. On it, I have a chance to last another 20 to 30 years. The *mild* nausea lasts about 10 minutes typically and when you're on it, you're less likely to "overeat" as it takes away a lot of your appetite. I've never experienced "vomiting." The bottom line is genetics plays a part and science is helping those of us with not so ideal genetics. Not everyone can spend their life in a gym for 4 hours with a trainer and "walking" isn't going to get it done. Yes, changing your life and your relationship with food is important and these drugs help do that without having to run back and forth to New Mexico from Canada to lose the weight.
@@dosdontor not trying to be mean you can lose weight at home doing small exercises everyday, cutting back on portions. At the end of the day it’s all self motivation. You don’t need to go to the gym everyday to lose weight. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life and I lost 100lbs without going to the gym and doing small work outs at home watching what I eat cutting out a lot of sugars and process foods, Happy you are living tho. But naturally ways to lose weight will always be safest and best.
@dosdont I watched a coworker eat 3 cupanoodles, a candy bar, 2 nutrigrains and a large bottle of Gatorade in maybe 40 minutes. He then proceeded to go to ed for nausea and vomiting. We work in a hospital.
just curious how these Ozempic type of drugs would do when put against drugs that simply make you sick (nausea) all the time. The latter will make you lose weight also!
Are these drugs going to have to be used the rest of their lives to maintain weight loss? Can these drugs be used for long terms weight loss?Most of the people I know taking these drugs are getting them online and are not in contact with doctors except by answering questionnaire.
I'm sure that's what the pharmaceutical companies are aiming for. Guaranteed income for many years. Sad really when all people have to do is change their eating habits 😢
I am putting on muscle and losing weight 20 lbs every 2 months (so i sont get lose skin and put on muscle) and increased my sugar nd carbs and lowered fat and get at least 90 grams s protein daily
If you eat real food, make your own seasonings and dressings so you can avoid sulfites and sugar, the weight will come off. Bonus is you can eat all you want so you don't feel deprived.
I would’ve loved to been able to take something to help me lose weight. But…. experience from early in my life tells me that using something, any chemical or device to lose weight, although initially it works, it comes back. I am a type to diabetic so medications are available to me. It took me the better part of a year to takeoff about 70 pounds of weight. I watched every calorie I took in, and every calorie that went out out. The basic rule. "Eat 500 cal a day less than you burn" . Weight measurement was not daily but weekly at the same time under the same conditions. Twice a month, for one hour, I could eat anything I wanted…. Up to an including two or three donuts if that’s what I want. I could eat an 8 - 16 ounce steak. It never affected my weight. I found this interesting. Although, the longer I was on my diet the less I could splurge on on my splurge day. There was no way I could get a large steak in my stomach. I could not finish a 6 ounce steak a 16 ounce steak. One thing crucial that I changed, I had a Fitbit that I used to measure my calories both in and out. I used the scale to wait everything. Plus because it’s easier to compute I used Grams. if I had a piece of chicken, I’d wait before I ate, and I would weigh it after I ate what was left. I had every day 2 ounces of olive oil. I will make sure I had fat in my diet. I never hit a plateau. I did find I had to exercise more and more to maintain my weight loss. 3500 cal equals 1 pound. My goal was 1 pound a week. Obviously, I did better than that. This was due to the fact that I often burn more calories. Walking to work & home, really helped. I have kept the weight off. I expected to gain 5 to 10 pounds after I went off the diet. I did. Over the past two years I’ve maintained my weight, and I have been losing approximately 1/2 to 1 pounds a month. I’ve lost that 10 pounds gained. And it’s staying off. What I have to do is create a new diet to live by after I went off my weight loss diet. You could never return to eating the way you want to…. Unless you wanna work out an awful lot. I am now on the process of reconstruction (I had a mastectomy five years ago), and they have the extra flesh removed. my plastic surgeon said he highly approves of the fact that I waited so long. Most people don’t. When you have stabilized for a period of time, and then get the flesh removed, is the best time because it is rare for the person to get fat again. I truly got the impression, that people such as myself, are the type of people he likes to work on. This is because years later you will still be able to see his good work, whereas other people do not take care of themselves and you’ll never know that they actually had plastic surgery to have fat and loose skin removed. Having fat removed doesn’t work for most people, because they will not change their life style.
Everyone is complaining about high prices but they can afford these expensive injections. I pray their children aren't being deprived of essentials so mommy and daddy can have their thin bodies while depriving diabetics of it.
Semaglutide IS Ozempic, but at a higher dose for obesity than ozempic which is used for diabetes. I think he's using ozempic because more people are familiar with that name for it
I hate that im paying out of pocket for tirzepatide bc im 31% body fat and I've been pre diabetic for 10 yrs. Basically im being forced to pay an insane amount of money to help my body feel better and i have ms, narcolepsy w cataplexy, lupus, MCAD, asthma elhors danlos syndrome and a few more but obviously i have limited mobility and if a medication helps enough of these symptoms i have then blue cross should cover it!
Me too. I'm in Australia and 3 years ago my endocrinologist told me " We're hoping the Govt will soon put it on the PBS so it will be affordable. Between riding the waves of availability and cost it's ridiculous. I waited almost 7 years to get into the Clinic in the public sector. I've lost close to 26kgs but I just give up on all the drama of these medications.
A very low carb diet should help greatly improve not only your weight but also your many ailments. You are brave to take meds as all have side effects and sometimes cause other illnesses or exacerbate existing problems. I would only ever consider any meds as a last resort.
I developed a cyst in my throat, I was on these drugs ,now I have to get a MRI every year, to see if it needs to be removed, but the doctor won't confirm that it came from these drugs, never again
I only personally know 4 people who have taken ozempic. 3 of those 4 could not control their bowels (6 months of dosing) and were upset in their stomach and couldn’t eat I’ve heard the ozempic is fashioned after the venom of a gila monster. If you study how a Gila monsters digestive system works and then see it appearing in people you know it’s disturbing
Like gstric bypass (that over time only works for 3-5% ) this is just another thing tgat the medic industry can earn money from .. obesity can be pernanently fixed bybone thing for everyone ( eat less and rigth , build mucle and burne your fat as energy and stick with it !! Why cant the governents do something with the food industry , put an extra inviromental tax on obeesity , give lover health cost to healty people and in norway where we have universal health care , lover tax for being healty !! But no no letts give the ignorant more «medizine they do not need insted of dioing something with the maint problem , a colective and personal eating dissorder 🤮
Exactly, there were no obese people before 1984. What happened to people. I grew up in the 60's and 70's, never got fat though I had junk food like others did, but I didn't over eat. Having a normal weight makes life incredible, you can travel, hike do anything.
thats honestly not how it works at all. These medications target many receptors that govern hunger, and sugar control. Diabetes is not a single dimensional problem.
Like you just said, they are ruining the food ( grew up 70's & 80's was thin until my 40's & after yrs Health issues slowly gained weight (add metabolic disorder,, diabetes ETC,) slowly gaining weight for years, can't just lose it ( not everyone who's over weight eats a lot ! ( I have never been over eater, didn't eat sweets even as a kid ( taught my kids not too). In fact you can mess up metabolism from not eating enough ! & ( I don't mean an eating disorder either). As you said our food is not right, other Countries protect their foods better. How would it be fair to charge more taxes & give less health care to poor people who they already make sick with g m o foods full of bad additives & Poison water w/so called "Fluoride" .
Our food supply HAS changed, but I grew up in the 50s and 60s, was very thin until I hit 35, then weight started creeping up on me. I found you just can't eat the same way you did when young. Metabolism slows too much.
How about these folks just stop eating junk food and exercise more? And I am saying this as someone who was close to 300 pounds and now 180. It’s those processed foods! People need to take care of themselves.
Don’t eat anything green. And make sure all the food stuff has HFCS in it. Also get no exercise. And sit in front of some form of electronic screen for 12 hours a day. And in 20 years go on medicaid and you’ll get all of these scrips at no charge. 😂
All I did was go low carb and walked my dogs every day for 2 miles- age 64 down 100lbs!
No drugs!

So what will happen to you if you stop taking semaglutide?
@@gonebyrv9748 Some have tapered off slowly with success, but I don't plan to unless I have to. Folks with HIV need to take HIV meds the rest of their lives. Folks with diabetes need insulin the rest of their lives (unless they take one of these drugs). There are lots of conditions that require continual medication.
My mom had to stop ozempic because her vision was getting blurry.
😳
High blood sugars, will casue vision loss before Ozempic will do.
My type 2 diabetes was making my vision blurry long before Ozempic.
NAION will happen overnight. Literally you wake up one morning with one side vision loss. There are not normally any signs. The visual field defect usually occurs in the bottom half of your eye and it will look like there is a curtain or dark area blocking your vision. Blurred vision and double vision does happen in NAION patients but it is normally happening after the initial loss of vision. I have NAION of unknown cause (non diabetic, never taken the shots, etc.). I woke up one day partially blind and there is no cure or treatment. So I urge everyone to please consider this risk.
@@mdpatrick2225 Hope you are doing better , that must be a choc for you . Wish you all the best .
There are no weight control short cuts that don’t carry risk. There are no magic pills. Better to moderate your diet and increase exercise.
Every, literally every, drug used today has extreme side effects for some percentage of the population. Ibuprofen can cause stomach perforation, kidney failure, bladder tumors. Lets hear conversations about the actual risks.
You may be surprised to know that acetaminophen (Tylenol), causes more deaths than all the illegal drugs combined.
A retrospective analysis from a study involving 66 million U.S. patients, published in the *Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology*, found no increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) among users of semaglutide.
You can create any results in a study you want. I’ve seen it happen. Kind of like a certain virus.
Missed ya Doc. Hope all is well. Thx for the content
Every prescription is a form of poison and may work but may have side effects. You always need to weight the pros & cons of each drug (no pun intended) before filling and taking any prescription.
We must then hope that the doctor tells us that taking these remedies is associated with a life-threatening or serious illness.
Thank you so much Dr.Mike for this great Information.GOD Bless you Always & Forever.
Is always good to see you!Excellent información.❤
This seems to be a thinly veiled promotional advertisement for the weight loss industry. I wouldn't care, but diabetics have been unable to get the medication because it has been bought up by those with commercial interests.
Drug companies don't care who the buyer is as long as they are paying, there is no priority to them.
The distributers do. That way these type of companies can buy huge volumes.
Obesity is just as serious as DM.
I really wished that you would have stuck to the unscientific names so that your podcast would be easier to understand..
Yes. Too much work to keep translating it in my mind as Listen.
No kidding!
Many peptides have risk. My concern is overdose. The optimization and increasing lifespan people tend to micro dose/cycle peptides. Compound and start at half recommended dose.
And they make people faces look aged and dehydrated (shriveled up).
Any kind of dramatic weight loss will do that.
@@loriar1027true
@@loriar1027 Falsch. Das eingefallene Gesicht entsteht durch Verlust an Muskelmasse im Gesicht. Zu einem Verlust an Muskelmasse kommt es, wenn die Menschen Ozempic spritzen, wenig essen aber weiter Kohlehydrate essen. Eine ketogene Ernährung kombiniert mit intermittierendem Fasten führt zu Fettverlust unter Erhaltung der Muskelmasse. Davon profitiert aber Pharma nicht. Vielleicht suchen Sie Vorträge von Ben Bikman zu diesem Thema.
Im on ozempic 0.5mg. No side effects noted
Can you imagine how much of a game changer Retratrutide is going to be. Three mechanisms of action. And then the future weight loss drugs are going to be even better.
Always seek your doctor’s advice first and foremost. Don’t try on your own. Do your research and bring your data to your doctor. That’s all this video states.
It's a prescription drug, how are you going to try it without going to a doctor to get it?
Tbh I wouldn't trust most doctors.
WRONG! you can get MORE facts and truth following reputable DR's on youtube
All I know is I know for sure what will happen if you're obese and you don't lose weight.
If you overeat in it it causes nausea and vomiting. You still have to have discipline. You can also end up dehydrated and hospitalized. People who aren't motivated to change their life wit it after a short while.
@@EK-wi2me I am on it, I feel much better on it than I did not on it. Not on it, my end was almost guaranteed to come within 10 years if my family history was an indication. On it, I have a chance to last another 20 to 30 years. The *mild* nausea lasts about 10 minutes typically and when you're on it, you're less likely to "overeat" as it takes away a lot of your appetite. I've never experienced "vomiting." The bottom line is genetics plays a part and science is helping those of us with not so ideal genetics. Not everyone can spend their life in a gym for 4 hours with a trainer and "walking" isn't going to get it done. Yes, changing your life and your relationship with food is important and these drugs help do that without having to run back and forth to New Mexico from Canada to lose the weight.
@@dosdontor not trying to be mean you can lose weight at home doing small exercises everyday, cutting back on portions.
At the end of the day it’s all self motivation.
You don’t need to go to the gym everyday to lose weight.
I’ve struggled with my weight all my life and I lost 100lbs without going to the gym and doing small work outs at home watching what I eat cutting out a lot of sugars and process foods,
Happy you are living tho.
But naturally ways to lose weight will always be safest and best.
@@geminicattheinsomniac8408 Thank you
@dosdont I watched a coworker eat 3 cupanoodles, a candy bar, 2 nutrigrains and a large bottle of Gatorade in maybe 40 minutes. He then proceeded to go to ed for nausea and vomiting. We work in a hospital.
just curious how these Ozempic type of drugs would do when put against drugs that simply make you sick (nausea) all the time. The latter will make you lose weight also!
Are these drugs going to have to be used the rest of their lives to maintain weight loss? Can these drugs be used for long terms weight loss?Most of the people I know taking these drugs are getting them online and are not in contact with doctors except by answering questionnaire.
I'm sure that's what the pharmaceutical companies are aiming for. Guaranteed income for many years. Sad really when all people have to do is change their eating habits 😢
It just makes me feel so bad that I don't want to do anything including eat or drink. But I lost 40lbs quick.
Same. My stomach hurts so much I have to shower sitting down
What's your opinion about extended (36 hours or more) water fasting?
I am putting on muscle and losing weight 20 lbs every 2 months (so i sont get lose skin and put on muscle) and increased my sugar nd carbs and lowered fat and get at least 90 grams s protein daily
Thanks for this. Which drug has the better safety profile for folks who are obese, have type I diabetes, and also have insulin resistance?
Wow that's a scary combination, obese and type I diabetes 😬.
All the stuff we do to keep eating carbs.. 😔
You can’t eat carbs on this thing. Ozempic nausea is so bad I can barely drink water
. Well no wonder you're loosing weight. Not eating = loosing weight.
I had to stop it after 2 weeks, I started vomiting a lot, upset stomach. I ended up in the ER on an Iv fluids and went home on nausea medication
If you eat real food, make your own seasonings and dressings so you can avoid sulfites and sugar, the weight will come off. Bonus is you can eat all you want so you don't feel deprived.
I would’ve loved to been able to take something to help me lose weight. But…. experience from early in my life tells me that using something, any chemical or device to lose weight, although initially it works, it comes back. I am a type to diabetic so medications are available to me.
It took me the better part of a year to takeoff about 70 pounds of weight. I watched every calorie I took in, and every calorie that went out out. The basic rule. "Eat 500 cal a day less than you burn" . Weight measurement was not daily but weekly at the same time under the same conditions. Twice a month, for one hour, I could eat anything I wanted…. Up to an including two or three donuts if that’s what I want. I could eat an 8 - 16 ounce steak. It never affected my weight. I found this interesting. Although, the longer I was on my diet the less I could splurge on on my splurge day. There was no way I could get a large steak in my stomach. I could not finish a 6 ounce steak a 16 ounce steak.
One thing crucial that I changed, I had a Fitbit that I used to measure my calories both in and out. I used the scale to wait everything. Plus because it’s easier to compute I used Grams. if I had a piece of chicken, I’d wait before I ate, and I would weigh it after I ate what was left. I had every day 2 ounces of olive oil. I will make sure I had fat in my diet. I never hit a plateau. I did find I had to exercise more and more to maintain my weight loss. 3500 cal equals 1 pound. My goal was 1 pound a week. Obviously, I did better than that. This was due to the fact that I often burn more calories. Walking to work & home, really helped.
I have kept the weight off. I expected to gain 5 to 10 pounds after I went off the diet. I did. Over the past two years I’ve maintained my weight, and I have been losing approximately 1/2 to 1 pounds a month. I’ve lost that 10 pounds gained. And it’s staying off. What I have to do is create a new diet to live by after I went off my weight loss diet. You could never return to eating the way you want to…. Unless you wanna work out an awful lot.
I am now on the process of reconstruction (I had a mastectomy five years ago), and they have the extra flesh removed. my plastic surgeon said he highly approves of the fact that I waited so long. Most people don’t. When you have stabilized for a period of time, and then get the flesh removed, is the best time because it is rare for the person to get fat again. I truly got the impression, that people such as myself, are the type of people he likes to work on. This is because years later you will still be able to see his good work, whereas other people do not take care of themselves and you’ll never know that they actually had plastic surgery to have fat and loose skin removed. Having fat removed doesn’t work for most people, because they will not change their life style.
Thank you for the sharing . Hope you all the best
I had an absolutely awful allergic reaction to tirzepatide. Just saying.
Is there a theory behind this?
i do a soup salad diet
ice cream for dessert
lost 5 lbs in 3 days
Thanks for your video, great info. 😊
No one will answer me about allulose and if it can cause the same problems as these drugs.
I'm sure you could make your voice even quieter and the foreground music even louder. I can still barely hear you.
Everyone is complaining about high prices but they can afford these expensive injections. I pray their children aren't being deprived of essentials so mommy and daddy can have their thin bodies while depriving diabetics of it.
We shame smokers and drinkers to quit but calling someone fat is totally out of the question. People need to stop eating so much. Period.
Thank you Dr Hansen
Cut all sugar, processed foods, lower carbs, cut processed oils. Workout and walk, sleep well. Don’t take shortcuts.
That’s the best way!
What if you do all that, and still can't lose weight? Weight still doesn't drop. Not everything is at it seems, some people need assistance.
If you knew how painful ozempic truly is, you wouldn’t be calling it a shortcut
Why does this mention Ozempic when it is not about that at all?
Semaglutide IS Ozempic, but at a higher dose for obesity than ozempic which is used for diabetes.
I think he's using ozempic because more people are familiar with that name for it
I thought I was going to see a Turbodong Chevy commercial.
I hate that im paying out of pocket for tirzepatide bc im 31% body fat and I've been pre diabetic for 10 yrs. Basically im being forced to pay an insane amount of money to help my body feel better and i have ms, narcolepsy w cataplexy, lupus, MCAD, asthma elhors danlos syndrome and a few more but obviously i have limited mobility and if a medication helps enough of these symptoms i have then blue cross should cover it!
Is there any chance your doctor can tell your insurance Co that it's medically necessary for you?
Me too. I'm in Australia and 3 years ago my endocrinologist told me " We're hoping the Govt will soon put it on the PBS so it will be affordable. Between riding the waves of availability and cost it's ridiculous. I waited almost 7 years to get into the Clinic in the public sector. I've lost close to 26kgs but I just give up on all the drama of these medications.
@ceilconstante640 blue cross denies everything they are famously only covering them for diabetics and I didn't want to have to cross that line.
WoW! I'm surprised you can comment!
A very low carb diet should help greatly improve not only your weight but also your many ailments. You are brave to take meds as all have side effects and sometimes cause other illnesses or exacerbate existing problems. I would only ever consider any meds as a last resort.
Ozempic is the best. No side effects here.
Good morning sir, from India.
Good information to consider on these medications. 👍
why the annoying tinkling background 'music?" does this need to be a musical?
I developed a cyst in my throat, I was on these drugs ,now I have to get a MRI every year, to see if it needs to be removed, but the doctor won't confirm that it came from these drugs, never again
What about Retatrutide?
I pee more on tirzepatide. Do you know anything about that?
Maybe not eating enough therefore imbalanced electrolytes? That was my issue but def check with your doc!
Body trying to rid itself of sugar?
Thank you...
Its driving me nuts he is pronouncing it wrong
Do you know for a fact that he's saying it wrong? Have you accounted for different regional accents?
What exactly is he saying wrong?
@@nicotoscani8270 semaglutide. he is pronouncing it wrong.
@@MooJoo5555 It is pronounced differently all over the world and I would guess even in the US.
You couldn't pay me enough to take any of these drugs.
Can you follow up with what this does to muscle mass. I'm not a candidate, but I took and I felt tired and anxious so stopped.
I only personally know 4 people who have taken ozempic. 3 of those 4 could not control their bowels (6 months of dosing) and were upset in their stomach and couldn’t eat I’ve heard the ozempic is fashioned after the venom of a gila monster. If you study how a Gila monsters digestive system works and then see it appearing in people you know it’s disturbing
0:14 OMG, It’s a hog farm.

It is said,there is gila monster venom,in it

Like gstric bypass (that over time only works for 3-5% ) this is just another thing tgat the medic industry can earn money from .. obesity can be pernanently fixed bybone thing for everyone ( eat less and rigth , build mucle and burne your fat as energy and stick with it !! Why cant the governents do something with the food industry , put an extra inviromental tax on obeesity , give lover health cost to healty people and in norway where we have universal health care , lover tax for being healty !! But no no letts give the ignorant more «medizine they do not need insted of dioing something with the maint problem , a colective and personal eating dissorder 🤮
Exactly, there were no obese people before 1984. What happened to people. I grew up in the 60's and 70's, never got fat though I had junk food like others did, but I didn't over eat. Having a normal weight makes life incredible, you can travel, hike do anything.
thats honestly not how it works at all. These medications target many receptors that govern hunger, and sugar control. Diabetes is not a single dimensional problem.
Like you just said, they are ruining the food ( grew up 70's & 80's was thin until my 40's & after yrs Health issues slowly gained weight (add metabolic disorder,, diabetes ETC,) slowly gaining weight for years, can't just lose it ( not everyone who's over weight eats a lot ! ( I have never been over eater, didn't eat sweets even as a kid ( taught my kids not too). In fact you can mess up metabolism from not eating enough !
& ( I don't mean an eating disorder either). As you said our food is not right, other Countries protect their foods better.
How would it be fair to charge more taxes & give less health care to poor people who they already make sick with g m o foods full of bad additives & Poison water w/so called "Fluoride" .
@@gymjoedude why are our comments not showing on main comment ?
Our food supply HAS changed, but I grew up in the 50s and 60s, was very thin until I hit 35, then weight started creeping up on me. I found you just can't eat the same way you did when young. Metabolism slows too much.
That AI obese waiting room vid had me looking for a narcan shot.

Diet and exercise is all that's needed.

It doesn't work. If that were that easy, no one would be overweight
I'd rather have my mouth wired shut and drink through a straw than deal with these dangerous side effects.
Just fast bro 😎
How about these folks just stop eating junk food and exercise more? And I am saying this as someone who was close to 300 pounds and now 180. It’s those processed foods! People need to take care of themselves.
The ‘miracle’ drug will turn out to be a nightmare. Like always.
❤❤❤🇺🇸
Don’t eat anything green. And make sure all the food stuff has HFCS in it. Also get no exercise. And sit in front of some form of electronic screen for 12 hours a day. And in 20 years go on medicaid and you’ll get all of these scrips at no charge. 😂
