Hi Mark, there is no way anyone needs a jab if they eat right. We have lived for years just fine wiothout any need for this stuff, the issue is... todays shit food. Sugar!
Eat whole food only, never ever eat Super market food. Never eat white flour, rice, pasta. Its simple really.
Oh look its one of those stupid people Mark was talking about 😂
If you build it, he will come 😂
Technically true, but ignores so many nuanced topics like cultural norms, the food and advertising industry spending billions to tap into our psychology around food and many more.
Someone didn’t watch the video…🤣
Doesn't look like Graham even uses soap and water let alone medication.
If you are not a binge eater, you will never understand what goes in side our heads. It is a merry-go-round of food thinking. It is all consuming. Good for you doing what you need to do for yourself. Nobody's business but your's. Onward and upward Mark. Thanks
I've eaten a normal (healthy) meal and 20 minutes later I am thinking about what I want to eat again. It's not a fun feeling. People that don't have an addiction don't understand how bad it is. Yes, in the long run, the solution is to maintain a healthy eating diet, but in the short run corrections need to be made and I wish I had something like this when I was going through absolute hell trying to fix myself. And I'm willing to bet (my life...) that it's far worse to be obese due to an eating condition than it is to take this drug to fix it.
Telling people they don't need this is like telling someone undergoing clinical depression/anxiety they just need to "be happy and worry less." No f***ing s**t. Thanks Sherlock. I couldn't figure that one on my own. The drugs are so many brain can actually do that, not because I don't want to. Sleep meds? Because I just can't "stop using my phone and go to bed." I probably use my phone less than you do at night... and still can't fall asleep.
So, I agree with you. Thank you Mark for posting this. Too many people share their severely uninformed opinions about things they've never experienced (and have literally zero expert opinion to base their "facts" on).
I’ve been a binge eater since I was a child…ballooned to 220 pounds at 15 and was prediabetic, lost weight on my own and got down to 130-ish pounds by my 18th birthday (the 00s was a very ‘fatphobic’ time, and I’m so glad for that). Kept the weight off all these years but never stopped binge eating, I just learned to ‘manage’ them and would severely restrict calories whenever I’d gain 5-6 pounds weight from binging. I also started chain-smoking to avoid eating too much. As I got closer to middle age, things got more out of control…insulin resistance, more uncontrollable binge episodes, emergency trips to the hospital because of blood sugar issues, infections that required IV antibiotics to heal. Weight-wise, I was getting close to 150 pounds, BMI getting close to 25…I started Ozempic last week, and my cravings have reduced significantly, not just food cravings but the desire to smoke cigarettes have reduced as well. My ADHD brain is quieter and I have less racing thoughts. I am ready to heal from binge eating and quit smoking forever, those are my priorities…and losing 20 pounds in the process to get to my pre-Covid size will be an awesome bonus…I dropped 9 pounds the first 6 days (it’s mostly water weight, but that’s fine, I always had water retention issues due to disordered eating).
I'm one of those few guys who just decided not to be obese anymore and just did it through hard work and discipline. The problem is, it was about the 1000th time I decided to do that and the first time I was successful. If these drugs had been available earlier, I may have not spent 30 years obese and done who knows how much damage to my body and shortening my life. I am now jacked, run half marathons, and still struggle with compulsive overeating (it's very rare now, but it will never go away) and I'm glad to know that people have options I didn't. If our real goal as a society is to help people be healthy, live longer and have a better quality of life, ALL options should be on the table, and people trying to gate-keep folks from losing weight because they don't want to do it "the right way" can pound sand.
Hello, brother 😅
100%
Well said brother I can’t work out the way I would like, as I have a prolapsed disc in my back I’m doing the best I can however, I have been pre approved for monjaro because I am classed as morbidly obese and I’m hoping I don’t have to wait months for it, but I’m only wanting to take it until I have had my back surgery then hope to get back in the gym properly !
Currently on my 932nd time, hoping it sticks.
@@Oldlard This. Well Said sir.
People who say that addicts just need to ‘pull themselves together’ have never experienced addiction and lack the empathy to understand others. Or even just the common sense.
It's not about empathy, they literally don't have the experience to inform their thinking. Or they themselves have severe but not obvious addictions, like to their phones/social media.
@@andreisopon4615 Sure, empathy is easy if you had the same experience. But an important part of empathy is also accepting the expression of situations and feelings others have, even if you lack the experience. Just denying others their feelings, belittling their suffering and shifting the blame to them for their suffering, because you did not come across that specific experience and cannot relate fully, is NOT empathy. That is at best a very early stage proto-empathy like a 7 year old has. That is operating from the model that everyone is like them ... or not a proper human but some kind of inferior creature. There are way too many adults like that. I had the great pleasure to know quite a few of them.
…or to needing to be right all the time.
There are many people who are not even really that obese and who actually do not even qualify to get said medication. If you have the money you can buy it and most people are simply too lazy to put the work in. The moment they stop using the jab they regain the weight.
You have to change your mindset not simply being less hungry. I am pro the jab for people who really need it but the fat pass jab has increased massive popularity for many people who don’t have the strength/ will power to put in the work. They work out for a few weeks and don’t see any results and throw the towel in the ring.
The key point of “addiction” is that people are no longer in full control of their choices. And any comment on it needs to respect that fact.
Mark, ever since you found your channel a few years ago, I have enjoyed it. Your content of “here’s what I’m doing,” not “here’s what you should do” has been inspiring for me to continue on my own health & fitness journey.
That said, I also enjoy how most of the time when you say how great you are (in one way or another), you back that up with the clip of you “power walking” ! Classic!
Sometimes I think the speed-walking clip is gonna get old… then I see it again and realize I am often a fool.
🤣
Im currently on my Mounjaro journey. I have struggled with addictions for years, conquering alcohol and drugs only to be hooked on socially acceptable drugs like nicotine. It took over 10 years to get off that. I have a very unhealthy relationship with food and use Mounjaro whilst I reprogram myself to look at food healthily as what it is - fuel. I am unashamedly stuck on Coffee though. Keep the videos coming I love that your channel has such a variety of topics to enjoy. Best wishes Fiona xx
That’s great to hear! How is it going for you?
@chrisdraper845 3 months in 16% of body weight gone. Only problem is I have to make myself eat because I genuinely don't want food now xx
@@MsFionaPatrick Well done!! This is a great story to hear.
I'm about to start taking it and I'm wondering if what you ate changed? I know the quantity changes but did you change the type of food on your plate?
@MrJwmurph Yes I want to be a size 10 again so I eat what I did when I was a size 10. I make myself eat as I have no cravings for anything now
@@MsFionaPatrick yup, that seems to be what happens. Been the same for my wife. Otherwise she just forgets to eat a meal and doesn’t think anything of it.
I can predict exactly when that speed walking clip is coming up. Still cracks me up every time.
I really need a new one 😂
@@MarkLewisfitnessNooo I love it each and every time! 😂
Have you played it reverse? 🤣
@@MarkLewisfitnessnever please
@@MarkLewisfitnessNever retire the duck pond medal clip, and the speed walking clip. Promise us! 😅
Well said. Thank you for describing food noise!. This explains the WHY the simple" eat less and exercise more" doesn't work for millions of people who are truly struggling.
Found you through your first video on the subject, then binged your entire back catalogue,and you alongside James Smith helped me do the unthinkable - trust other humans.
I have two more shots of 5mg left and I am dragging them out, as you did, being as they will be my last.
I’m 3.5 stone down since your first video, 20.5 to 17stone and have never felt better.
Thank you for your no bullshit delivery, it really helped me.
Great results - 🙏
Be careful when you stop as, like most diet supplements, the weight will come back as quickly as it left. The studies are pretty consistent on this
@@hedgemonkey6 Building off what Mark has said about the "tranquillity between the ears". You, first hand, see the evidence of the damage caused by food noise and through my experience this provided an education unlike no other.
I will compare a return to my past weight to self-harming, that is how brutally honest my Mounjaro experience has been, as a result, I now see my daily calorific intake as a budget and the benefits of coming in under budget speak for themselves.
Everyone is different and all that.
@@hedgemonkey6 If you go back to your old eating habits then obviously the weight will return, but if you continue to eat the reduced amount of food that you have been, then it will not return.
That's amazing! Hope you get to where you want to be. I'm journeying the other direction, I've always been a twig but manged to gain nearly 2 stone over the last 2 years 💪
Big Farma... Well you did move to the countryside
In these work, but there’s actually a joke there somewhere. I may steal that.
BOOM!
😂
😂😂 funny comment. Love Mark and Jen! ❤ He would never sell out! Mark is a pro and is taking the best care of himself.
that's a good one 🤣
Fucking legend. Mounjaro has helped me transform my mental and physical health. I am 50lb lighter, no arthritis pain, no IBS, no heartburn, halved alcohol intake, bags of energy and able to weight train again without anxiety. I have kept it a secret from pretty much everyone because of this stupid shit people say. You really are making a difference with your plain speaking and balanced view of the world. A real man!
"halved alcohol intake" seriously if you're struggling with health issues, have you considered simly putting alcohol away for now?
@@lechprotean when I say halved. I am literally down to a couple of glasses of wine with dinner at a weekend i.e. >10 units per week. I am hardly Andre the Giant!
Well done buddy!! Ive just started on Mounjaro, only two weeks in. Ive only told two people and both had negative things to say, so, def not telling anyone else!
@@jkd82 thanks and good luck with your treatment. As represented in these comments, people will always want to find the negative in your purpose and progress.
I'm keeping it a secret from my friends too. I know for a fact that they'd be the one's accusing me of taking the easy way out. Like living life at 400 pounds is easy....
As an intelligent successful person who can eat themselves to feel sick , and then feel stupid and a failure,that was - just brilliant
Mark, thank you so very much for this series. I can relate to your "food" fight in so many ways! I am 58 years old and find myself at 127 kilos or 280 pounds as we say here in Nashville, TN. After over 2 years of trying to fight my eating disorder, I will be picking up my script of Zepbound tomorrow. The decision to give this jab a try was not taken lightly. Tonight, I stumbled across your videos on the subject and I am feeling much better about this decision.
Another great video, I also struggle with my unhealthy food relationship and go from very healthy to resting the 3rd tube of Pringles on my belly whilst polishing off that Guu cheesecake that was in the fridge!!! Thanks to your videos, I don't feel like a loser ( well not for the 20 mins your videos last) and you give me the motivation and also the light hearted entertainment I need. Im on my way again and even watching some of your older videos are keeping me in tow. So again, Cheers Mark and Jen. You guys do way more than you even probably realise.
I’m just starting my 4th month. Two and a half stone down and at I weight I’ve not been for 20 years!
An unbelievable product
Mark ive loved your content, and especially grateful for talking about this jab. I have too done every single diet and lost weight, but have never kept it off, your video encouraged me to ask about this jab and I'm currently using it I've lost 10 kilos so far, still a long way to go but your description of how it stops all the food noise is soo accurate, its actually mental how much less desire you have to eat. You can still consciously force yourself to eat if you wanted to but the Mounjaro in my case literally just quietens the noise noise when your not coucious. It is literally some how stopping the unconscious desire to eat and food noise is the best description. I started on 2.5mg and now on 5mg.
How have you felt when you sitting down to eat? In my personal case if I'm sitting down to eat I find it hard to not go for an extra plate of food, event though I'm pretty sure that what I've eaten would have been sufficient to my mind, but my stomach feels otherwise.
Can i ask how long it took to start suppressing your appetite ?
@@graemebailey2046It’s immediate. Within 24 hours
@@graemebailey2046from my wife’s experience, it’s literally in the first week.
It’s quite quick, so you soon find out that you really need to cut back on what you eat normally. Because even though it suppresses your hunger cravings almost immediately, you’re still in the zone of plating up food portions like you normally would, and trying to eat a meal to the extent you normally did soon makes you wish you hadn’t. As you end up feeling really bloated and uncomfortable. It’s a lesson you learn very quickly.
So if you decide to do it, look out for that.
@@BeyReaper I sometimes have to remind myself I should eat tbh. I find after 6 weeks i definately dont eat more than i need tbh, I know the voice your talking about just eat that bit more. I still enjoy my food infact I've enjoyed healthier alternatives more tbh I think its because your unconscious food noise just goes down.
Appreciate your honesty, and empathy for those going through shit that others don’t take the time to consider. Best of luck to you, sir.
Mark - good that you're coming off, finding it easy, and it worked for you. You're initial video, along with a freind discussing Ozempic, is what made me decide to try it. I'm almost 3 months in and have lost 53lbs. Like you, I've tried everything, had success, that hasn't last. This thing changes everything, and I'm looking forward to getting down to a 'normal' weight. Then I'll worry aobut coming off it, but will probably taper like you have. Thanks for the content.
That is a hell of a lot. Well done
My dog kept looking at your hand then started barking. I think she was waiting for you to throw it
I truly enjoy your very articulate sarcasm but you overall message is just simply excellent. I do send some of my patients to some of your videos...keep up the good work.
My final thoughts on the subject.
You never have to explain yourself to a bunch of simps brother. You are clearly a prime alpha.
Yes thanks.
I don't think mark needs an ego boost 😹
@syrus3k no one said he does, he just shouldn't ever feel the need to even acknowledge a simp.
Thanks Mark. Your original video made me realise that this medication could be for me, rather than someone else. It’s been life changing.
Hi Mark,
You're definitely one of my favorite channels to watch here on RUclips. I stumbled upon your videos last summer in a difficult moment and I really appreciate your candor, humor and your willingness to go beyond the superficial. While my initial interest was fitness oriented at first, I now see you ride motorbikes! I got into the hobby recently (Have put aside an MT-07 for next season) and I'm looking forward to see some of that when you come back around to it.
Thank you for being so great and unique!
Mark, I am amazed at your ability not only to seemingly take and brush off nonsense on the internet, but to turn it into something positive and contrary to the all day blasts of adverts and "expert advice". I really appreciate your no-nonsense attitude and your funny and entertaining content. Thanks again as always. Looking forward to seeing how you two get on with that beautiful new property. - A loyal Canadian follower.
But he is saying what people like to hear, not the other way around. It's much harder to beat your addiction by painstakingly changing your habits, surroundings, thought patterns, people around you than just take some powerful drug. Much harder but also so much more rewarding because you become a different person in the process while 'easy fix' usually works temporarily and do not address the underlying issues.
@@ithinkthereforeitalk935 Sometimes you need a crutch to get to a level where you can progress without one. That is the idea.
As someone who is in "decent" shape but also has disordered eating that no one else would ever know about, I appreciate your honesty on that matter
I think you were one of the first RUclipsr's I saw that speaks in a direct and honest way about subjects and that is such a relief. And happy to say thay I have found more, you're a trendsetter ;)
James Smith (also fitness centered), Anton Fomenko (climbing / ninja warrior) and Peddling Pizza (about pizza making) are a couple of other very honest and therefore pleasant to watch people. Feels like listening to a friend talk about a subject they are interested in, just comfy no matter the subject.
It's your previous video that inspired me to give it a try, after losing 25kg before through hard work, 10kg came back on, just over time. I decided to use this and 3 months, another 15kg on and I'm getting close to my 15% fat goal, 72kg. That would be a 35kg loss. Side effects - slows your digestion right down, you need to watch, you must walk a lot, you must use strength training, you must eat healthily. Most importantly you must hydrate. It worked for me, now to taper off..... Thanks for your great videos, it's genuinely helping people. These jabs literally as you've said before change your brain. You just have to be careful, I also fast 18/6 now, for the best part of years. Salad, meat, soup, supplements....And no alcohol. Works for me.
Pretty much the same here. Currently on 10mg, but may order 12.5mg even if only to get a fifth week 'free' by utilising spare needles they've supplied.
@@WhiteBeardLife I get a fifth dose in each one too which I dont use....
@ How long have you been on it?
Amazing video, as always, the interesting thing to me is how it calmed your mind and how it has stayed quiet and not returned to the way it was before...
Love the analogies, love the straight talk. As much as I am a believer in self drive and motivation being a huge factor in obesity, I can't argue with the how you have so eloquently worded your side of it.
You and the ‘Middle Aged Running Man’ have the best Dad humour on RUclips !
I'm about to start Monjaro. I have spent YEARS battling obesity. I have periods where I manage to lose it, but then I flop. I have a lot more going on mentally than the standard gym bro who would claim all you have to do is eat chicken and rice.
I need this. I need something that can help me control my binge eating, my emotional eating etc. I need to relearn what it feels like to not be hungry all the time. I need one less thing to worry about whilst my head gets in line again. Then and maybe then... I can start to control my eating by myself.
I hate having to turn to this. Life right now is just too much to deal with it by normal means. If it can remove one more thing for me to worry about, then it is a step forward.
Thanks for the honest advice mate.
Good luck!! I recently started also.. very little side effects so far..
@jkd82 thank you for your kind words. I am looking forward to starting this journey to reset these eating habits and get back on my feet again. The risks of obesity related illness outweigh anything from this I think.
Nothing wrong with taking this approach. It is medication after all.
Love your no nonsense videos sir, as a 57 year old Scots bloke embarking back running after previously running ultras I find your stuff hugely entertaining and informative.
- Three things that changed my life:
1. started watching health videos
2. I read the book called: Health Secrets Industry Hides
3. I stopped eating excess sugar
Thanks for sharing that
heard about that book before
have to check it out
Love all your videos Mark 👍🏻 enjoyed them all over the years , but I’d love to see you smashing in a parkrun like the old days - keeping making whatever content you like 👍🏻👍🏻- all the best 👊👊
Thank you for making it clear at the beginning that what anyone sees bet it RUclips or real life, it's just a snap shot, what we decide to show the world...aesthetics are not a measure of health. What lies beneath any of us is so much more important.
I honestly felt seen when you said about the years of disordered eating and the cognitive/mental effects food can bring to your life.
I would love to go on the drug for reasons you mentioned. The thought of not having food noise 24/7 for me sounds like a dream. I would hope it might give me peace after about 40 years of my life struggling and wasting so much mental, physical and emotional time on something so basic as food.
This isn’t anything I need but I am glad I was able to hear about your experience and perspective.
Mark you are truly awesome! Love your podcasts. Would listen to you discussing pretty much anything! You make me laugh out loud, think a bit more deeply on the why questions abd always leave me looking forward to your next post. Brilliant analysis and so glad that it's helped calm your food issues.
“Well haHA! Neither!” Always love your comedic delivery.
Mark, the way you discuss this subject and your struggles is pure-gold. Keep doing you. Your athletic journey is why I watch your content. Keep going, brother. I hope we meet at a triathlon or run one day. Peace.
Sometimes I forget how bloody good your content is then, boom! You drop another quick witted banger like this.
I've been on Mounjaro for 4 weeks, lost 7kg (1 stone) already, I will be upping the dose to 5mg per the manufacturer recommendation.
I've not had any side effects so far, so fingers crossed this continues on the 5mg.
Your video was very helpful in making me take the plunge, this stuff truly does remove food noise.
Very well said. Why would anyone want to cast shade on anyone trying to improve themselves, their health and and everything good that comes with that is ridiculous. The whole commercial food chain is stacked against people. So much sugar and fat is hidden in foods. This makes people crave these foods. This is an epidemic greater than any disease or drug that has come before it. Anything that works and can help needs to be added to the our toolboxes. Thanks for sharing and speaking up.
Best video I have seen on this subject. Well done!!
I literally last night was thinking how I plan to wean myself off, now that I feel a sense of normal portion eating. My dietitian already had told me their professional end-game is to end the drug without a taper, if they end the drug at all.
I learned to listen to myself and that really means myself… regarding my personal fitness/health. Because I have to be true to myself and there *edited here: doesn’t seems to be any sense anywhere in this murky world of finger pointing. I literally last night thought to space doses to taper it down. 10 day was the number I thought would be best. I do not like to be dependent on any prescription drug and I am weary of the pancreatic risks as well. Thank you for your post.
It isn’t that I want to clone your path, it is just refreshing to see there is another person making their own path.
My focus has and will be on health and fitness; longevity and avoiding cancer/heart disease/dementia… I hope you find your journey a successful one!
Cheers!
Your comparisons are gold! The coco pops one killed me lol
Mark, appreciate you. Good words and proper humor!
Thanks Mark. Great round-up. Really helpful and balanced and……..you have me in stitches! 😊
Mark well done we will never likely meet but I’ve followed you for a few yrs now. I love your determination truthfulness and honesty as well as little anecdotes about solicitors & parenting ect😂. Bless you mate thanks for the review 👏 All the best
Thank you for this Mark! Everything you said here is so well stated.
I like the fact that you relate to your own experience and don't follow the 'Stop doing this and do what I tell you' approach....nice work. Speed walking clip never fails to amuse, even after a thousand outings!
I love how you speak. Just tell it from your perspective and don't give a f..k what people say. Excellent. So good that you don't try and force your ideas on people, just advise on you and what has worked for you. Very refreshing 👍
This video is exactly why I like this channel. Keeping it real!
«Being god damn amazing!» was a great cut… laughed out loud on the tram!!😂
You are saying exactly how it is for me as well. My brain is the issue, not will power. Thank you sooo much for your honest and truthful videos about this subject. Nothing but respect for you and sharing your journey with this type of drug.
Great contest as always Mark. Keep sharing.
My favourite part of this “fat jab” series was hearing a completely different perspective from my own (i.e. someone who hasn’t had this particular struggle of overeating). Thanks for sharing the journey!
My mom passed away on Wednesday, and then I ate a half dozen donuts yesterday, after dealing with all her stuff from the lodge where she lived. I thought I was done with emotional eating. Guess not. Thanks for the videos, Mark. You make me feel like a normal person.
Sorry for your loss 🙏
I hear ya- have had withings scales for 14 years and see my weight going up and down like a saw tooth. I really do think that cyclists and endurance sports in general hide some serious food problems. I am using will power right now to get to a good place- and set myself a year to get there instead of some stupid target like 3 months. Maybe those pens will help, maybe not. But so good to hear your honest experience. Loving your channel.
Can I just say the inclusion of the walking clip in every video is genius and makes me laugh every time. Thank you.
Love you honesty. And the humour!
This is interesting content. I usually am opposed to using drugs that are meant to be used forever, but your experience shows that these kinds of medications can be used temporarily. Good stuff, Mark.
Love your attitude to everything, I try and have it inspire me! Great stuff
I'm really impressed by how often you can get that race walking footage b-roll in a video. Well played.
I drag the same burdens around, so I appreciate the videos on this topic. I was considering the drugs route, mainly as a resbite from the incessant compulsion to binge rather than anything to do with the actual weight itself. I’ve decided against it. Fortunately, I’ve discovered walking football (knee issues have stopped me from playing for the last 15+ years). Being able to do something weekly that gives me unbridled child like joy seems to have filled the void that I was previously using food to fill. Hopefully it continues. Thanks for the videos. They’ve been a real help.
Thank you @mark lewis for representing everyone who spends all day trying to eat the right things and exercise in a way to balance things out then come home and go, you know what - i'll eat that family size pack of doritos.. then feel guity about it afterwards.. The food noise in my head just sometimes won't STFU and you can guess the rest..
Good message Mark.
I started Keto again today (nothing to do with your video). I find a diet with clear rules is easier for me to follow, and a few weeks into Keto and cravings do disappear. I can’t stick to simple calorie control because I’m allowed to have junk food on that diet, so it doesn’t change what I eat, and makes it easier to over eat.
My issue is when I come off Keto, I end up going back to my old ways and put weight back on. But one day I’ll figure out how to control this. It doesn’t help that my wife has depression and comfort eats junk and my son likes chocolate, crisps, sweets etc. if there is junk food in the house I’ll eat it.
I know my Keto diet will work just fine, but fingers crossed for when I finish it in a few months.
Thank you for your honesty with the experience. Tirzepatide has quieted the thoughts I had that were on an almost obsessive level that would feed into my anxiety/stress loop, which would then lead to a binge. I've been eating, sleeping, moving, and just overall feeling better. It's a good tool for teaching a healthier lifestyle by reinforcing good choices and giving you consequences for poor ones, at least in regards to the type of foods you eat. It may not be for everyone, and that's okay, but it's opened the door to helping folks get the assistance they need to make more lasting changes.
Another interesting video as always. On a side note i am visiting family in Maidenhead and couldnt help but think of you as i crossed the M4 past Bray on my run to Dorney Lake thus morning
Well done mate. I’m on exactly the same journey. Keep the great content up.
"Joe Rogan's eat an elk a day diet" 🤣 fucking great. Good to see you feeling well man! Cheers!
I appreciate you saying "I don't give recommendations" good on you.
But he does. Whenever he does a video it is a recommendation in a way. Many people who are not 500 lbs and just really need to move more and eat healthy are going to use the drug instead.
Might be the best rant I have ever heard. Bravo
Well...I for one am grateful you made your videos on the subject....I started my own journey as a direct result and am so pleased that I did. Anyone who isn't medically trained on the subject or hasn't used it themselves needs to shut the **** up. Thank you.
Appreciate the honesty on your channel Mark. All the best mate!
Love the honesty and humour in your videos Mark, keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Thank you for introducing me to Mounjaro, like you I had 3 months on it, all at just 2.5mg and towards the end I was petering out from 7 days to 10-11 days per jab.
Long story short, I lost 30lb in 3 months, all of it in the first two months, look and feel great, so much energy! (Was 15st 6lb to start)
Forever grateful!
"Just try Joe Rogans eat-an-elk-a-day diet" LOL xD
Please never stop that amazing humor you got Mark!
Well said Mark. Addictions are dreadful and heartbreaking.
Got to admit that I was a bit confused when I saw the title and the thumbnail. Mark did not seem like the person I would assume uses these medications. Good video and and a good explanation how the drug worked for him. I especially liked that he made it clear that it is not an "easy" option and that one always has to confer with one's physician.
I never really thought about it relatively short term as a recalibration. Very interesting.
Ive been on zepbound for 8 weeks, lost 28 lbs. The food noise literally doesnt exist. You do have to watch for constipation, up the fiber and lots and lots of water. I started at 215 lbs 32% bmi now at 24% bmi , goal is 20%. Ive been doing it every 10 days instead of 7 days. Good video
Mark, thanks for sharing your experiences. Keep on being you!
Some of the best advice I've ever been given is that when you encounter someone struggling with a problem, don't assume you know what they are going through. Even if you've had a similar problem, that person is not you. You can't expect them to do what you did. If anyone is being lazy, it's the person who doesn't take the time to get all the information, and decides the solution is just more will power.
Thank you! I am glad that I came across your channel.
I eco everything you’ve said there. I’ve done all sorts of diets etc and struggled with weight for about 10yr now. I’m about 10days in on mounjaro. It’s phenomenal I’d genuinely recommend it to anyone who’s struggling but that’s me.
The misconception is that you take it and that’s all you have to do, where in fact you still have to put the graft in. I’m tracking food but that’s so I’m getting enough protein in.
Keep up the vids.
Fab video Mark, and honest as always. Thanks for sharing.
People who have never experienced food noise have no idea. Your analogy of the kids fighting in the back seat while trying to drive is a good one!
Hi Mark, thanks for another no nonsense video, whether we love you or not, got to appreciate your honesty. Describing the kids in the car... that was me daily until i cut the sugar. Now I eat a low carb diet and my mind is clear. Would love you to do carnivore diet for 30 days so you can tell us how you feel.
My son introduced me to your channel and I love it.. very similar life and interests!
As someone who also lives with disordered eating and the constant food noise in the brain, I just wanted to THANK YOU for this series. I feel...seen, somehow. I've not taken one of the jabs as of this point - I wouldn't qualify via traditional parameters as I'm well within a healthy BMI - but the idea of my brain being QUIET. Being absent of the constant FOOD rumble. What is there to eat , when can I eat, I want to eat, food would be so nice right now, don't eat anything else from your lunch or you'll have no lunch left and it's only 9:37 am, etc etc etc. The idea of that soundtrack just being SHUT OFF is so beautiful to me. The clowns with the perpetual spew of whatever are just that - the Privileged Clown Brigade who can't imagine that someone else MIGHT be different than them. Anyway. I just wanted to thank you for this series. Especially with it coming from YOU, it makes me happy, and increases my respect. Unlike GaryGary42, or whatever his name was. Again, much gratitude.
Thanks for sharing Mark, I've followed your journey with this as I have similar issues with food. You've posed some difficult questions that I need to ask myself this year.
Mark, I just want to say, I haven't watched your channel in a bit because I lost my fitness/health mental drive a couple of times over the last years.
I'm someone who doesn't gain that much weight inbetween workout cycles , because I've never stopped thinking I'm fat, so the part about not worrying about/thinking about it is, is HUGE.
This video reminds me of why I subbed to your channel in the first place, you just say it like you see it and usually think it through too. You do you, man.
Also amazing that all the stereotypical dumb responses you described are already there in the comment section.
Well done Mark! Looking forward to all your future videos on whatever content is relevant to your life at that moment. Please include the dogs 😂👍💪
Love your logic Mark! Keep preaching against the non-empathic one liners!
Loving the lawyers’ stories. Sounds like you hired clowns instead of lawyers.
I just wanted to say you are absolutely fucking epic. Thank you for your hilarious, sharp and stonkly on point content. And use of the word twat, perfectly.
I'm really glad you covered this, Mark. Harmful eating disorders are more complex than people think. Your analogy of the kids in the car was great. Although I don't have one myself, I have loads of sympathy for those that do. I really hope the GLP-1 meds help the people that need it.
This was awesome. Haven't had a good one of these "don't be such a judgmental jerk to people" rants in a while. Good on your Mark
Intro was just what i expected, superb none the less!
I’ll watch your videos regardless of what they are about. You’re a great human.
Thanks for the personal insight. Been thinking about using this. I need to think harder about it. But it's good to know it's not an easy, simple choice.
Been on it for nearly 4 months, gone from 2.5 up to 10mg jabs (at 4 I’m tapering off of it). I’ve lost 37lbs, down from 224lbs to 187lbs. I found before it I was waking up in the night and eating. That’s completely gone and I’m sleeping much better now too. For me, my energy in the gym seems to have suffered a little, but the way I see it, I needed to lose the weight more than increase performance and strength. It’s worked a treat for me, but I don’t plan on doing it again (hopefully 😅)
