what is the true story regarding losing muscle mass on these drugs? i am readiing about "ozempic face" and losing face to be saggy and losing muscle mass so that yes you lose weight on the scale, but compositionally you are worse off which then reduces your metabolism. i read that they only looked at WEIGHT not fat loss. I'm starting to be afraid of this stuff. I have been on ozempic and now mounjaro and i don't want to ruin my body.
I have lost 155 lbs on Manjuro! I have changed my lifestyle! I workout 6 days a week! Now insurance has kicked me off the med! Too be honest I am terrified I will gain it back! I am very determined never to go back to 436 again! I will do what I have to keep it off! Y’all say a prayer for me!
I am so grateful to my italian mom. She cooked, and didnt give me sweets. Mom never let me snack. I never think about any of this. I am the same weight since i was 20, i am 59.
I had the last 10pounds to loose, really tried keto/carnivore etc for 10y and not possible to loose those last 10! I try ozempic within 2mo I was down to my high school fit weight!!! I did only 2mo I stop ozempic and kept my eating style still weight my perfect weight for 6mo after
I've been trying since 2003 to get back to 145, so I know how frustrating that is! I've got 20 pounds to go. I'm on day 4. I do "all the things" except lifting heavy, which I'm going to start doing this week. We're meeting with a trainer at the gym tomorrow ❤
I’m post meno and I have a fasting regimen and make sure I get over 100 grams of protein limit my carbs to no more than 100 grams and I’m good to go. Losing like a champ. I also walk and do Pilates.
Same here I’ve lost 55 pounds over 8 months from TRE 6-8 hours per day removing processed carbs and sugar and prioritising my protein good fats and veges, drink 3 litres per day walk and do Pilates strength training 2-3 times per week - I’ve lowered my AIC and improved all other bloods have another 50 pounds to lose and I’m determined to do so
You can exercise all you want which is great but if do not adjust your food intake and make sure you are eating healthy veggies and protein, you are not going to have too much of a difference in your weight. What you eat makes the biggest difference.
I’ve been on Wegovy for several months now for weight loss. I have had zero side effects and I’ve lost about 30 lbs. I have a manual labor job I work out at home with dumbbells and walk several miles a day. I am also drinking protein drinks and eating a much better diet than I used to.
Well, I’m screwed!! Woulda, shoulda, coulda… I’ve been on and off tirzepatide for over a yr because of supply issues. I’m a nurse, for God’s sake!! Your video should be MANDATORY teaching before a prescription is written!!! I was off for about a month and guess what? You guessed it! And I’m 68 yrs old!!! Guess what else happened? I lost so much muscle!!!! I have to listen to your video again, especially the what to do part!! I played catch with my granddaughter today and was pretty awesome. I’ve been SO tired on this med that I’ve barely exercised at all. Plus I’m having a total knee replacement in a month. I need to be STRONG so I can lug my R leg around!!! I know about resistance exercises. I’ll have to go to bed now. Tomorrow’s another day. .THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I needed to be spoon fed!!!
YES you’ll regain weight when you stop if you haven’t changed your lifestyle like ALL THINGS, you cannot keep eating trash and expect long lasting results. And you can lose muscle with ozempic if you don’t eat a lot of good protein and work out. If you don’t want to do the work, don’t do it all, unless you want to risk being on a med your whole life
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes It took me three weeks to get the medication, do the back locks and it sat in my fridge for one week while I debated taking it because I was already getting my numbers down on my own after making a few minor adjustments to my diet and I was doing well but my doctor insisted that I take it because I wasn’t gonna be able to control a random spikes. Regrettably on July 1 I took my first .25 dose. The absolute worst mistake of my life within an hour. I ended up in the emergency room. The ER doctors were wonderful and they shared with me there discussed on the hype over this medication and I’m not even on it for weight loss, but strictly for diabetes and they’ve seen many people sick on this medication. I had a severe allergic reaction to it. I’m so angry that I went against my gut feeling and took it when I came home, I grabbed all the medication in my fridge and threw it in the trash. I sent a message to my doctor to let her know that I ended up in the ER and I was going to do this on my own without medication. I simply cannot imagine people taking this drug for weight loss. I understand that they are desperate to lose weight, but the long-term effects per the ER doctors are scary. I’m equally upset with pharmaceutical companies that push the stuff and mislead people. I’m still sick and I can’t eat anything which has become detrimental as I’m diabetic. My stomach hurts and I just feel overall horrible and there’s no way to flush this out of your system faster the ER doctor said I will probably not feel great for another month but there’s no such thing as flushing Ozempic out of your system. Never again will I go against my gut feeling. My neighbors daughter used it to lose weight after having a baby I couldn’t even believe it but now she can’t get the medication because her insurance company will only cover it with a diagnosis of diabetes and it’s very expensive without insurance, and she is already going back to her old ways of gaining weight and then some. Ozempic is just a crutch. Once you get off of it, the doctor is right away it will come back, unless you make strict modifications in your life and stick to them. Sadly, many people have a fast food mentality. They want to lose weight fast that they gained steadily over the years and years of bad eating habits. Doing it with this medication is definitely a roll of the dice with your life. The best thing I did with all of the Ozempic I had was throw it in the trash and never look back. I wish everyone well but please please be very careful just because it may appear to be working now. Doesn’t mean it will long-term this drug is very unpredictable per the ER doctors ♥️🙏🏻
wow first dose .25 that's a lot! I'm on .5 for diabetes type 2 and other diabetic health issues. Been on mounjaro for a year and decreased metformin. That dosage .25 for the first time seem like a possible shock to the system. I'm on .5ml or 10 mg. I weighed 235 a year ago and down to 165. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.
Because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't mean that's across the board. 1st of all, this medication has been around for yrs for diabetes why are we now hearing of all these horrible side effects. There are too many success stories. People have to be smart and educate themselves on the drug before starting.
I took Ozempic from October 2022 until the beginning of March 2023 when I finally figured out what was happening. It changed me. I was overly anxious and fearful of literally everything every single day. My nurse brother actually noticed my weird personality changes on the phone and he alerted me that I was freaking out about minor problems and told me whatever I was on to get off of it! We discussed all of my unusual symptoms like weird taste every and phlegm in back of my throat every morning and muscle loss on face and other strange areas like my forearms and wrists and we concluded only after a gastro and a primary physician appointment that Ozempic was indeed the problem. Yes, I had some weight loss and I was not hungry whatsoever and that was so nice.. but make NO MISTAKE! Ozempic has very bad side effects for some people and I am one of them. I went to the ER twice while on Ozempic and they did multiple scans and a nasty swallow test. I developed horrible gastritis and severe Gerd. It had my digestive system slowed down to a crawl. My hair was coming out in handfuls every time I showered, and I mean every time, the brush was full of hair!! This went on until about a week ago until I noticed it has slowed down some. Ozempic stays in your system like 4 weeks after you stop taking it. Needless to say, I cannot tolerate Ozempic 😢
Bobette, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve experienced these awful side effects while taking OZEMPIC. I also had the same experience plus severe bloating, tummy pain, constipation, nausea and dizziness… I’ve lost a lot of hair and hope that now that I’m off the drug that my hair will start to grow back. It’s still falling out but much less. I was on Ozempic for about 18 months. My endocrinologist reassured me that it wasn’t Ozempic causing the hair loss and all the other symptoms (that you mentioned)… she said that only nausea and some constipation was noted as main side effects. I stay on the drug and got worst and not losing any major weight. Thankful that my physician finally listened to me and I won’t ever be taking Ozempic again or any drug that is similar to it. Wishing you a full recovery from this drug and hope that by this time next year, your hair is healthy, thick and long again. Best wishes to you. Much love from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 🤗
I did a Styku analysis after losing 70 lbs on Mounjaro. Wish I’d been able to do one prior. My BMII is in a healthy range, as is my muscle mass. I’m still working out doing strength training & TRX exercise in order to maintain my weight loss and to add to my muscle mass! I’ll revisit the Styku to see what my progress will be!
I took Ozempic for 4 months, it was great while being on it. But guess what, I gained all the weight back 😅 lesson is, it is NOT sustainable to be on it long run and there’s absolutely nothing like developing healthy sustainable habits, now I am in a plant based diet as I am trying to reverse insulin resistance. Don’t do as I did! Good luck every one 😊
Can you make a second video for those of us on Ozempic who actually are on the cusp of diabetes and need to lose weight? We're not worried about Ozempic face.
I just stopped taking this crap. I took it for 1 year I lost9 inches off waist in total 82 lbs. Off. I look sick almost dead I have no energy can't even ride a bike cause the bike is too heavy. I'm miserable I look miserable I act like a invalid. I'm 65 my doctor should have told about this crap. This drug should be taken off the market.
@@kathyoneal5319 Sounds like you should have been more closely monitored and better educated on nutrition, hydration, and supplementation. Many people are successful on these meds and have been for almost 20 years.
Are people really going to financially , an physically keep up the change in their lifestyle that comes with taking these weight loss products for YEARS to keep weight off.? Some people maybe, but NO , I don’t think so. Taking a pill or shot is a easy way to loose the weight but eventually a lot of people will gain it back, and realize they wasted a lot of money an probably did damage to their bodies that has not been detected yet. I will be curious in a year or three to hear the long term studies on this new loose weight quick plan. If you need to take this medication people you legit are diagnosed with a medical condition I support it however if it is people’s own vanity speaking than I oppose this.
This is the single most well put informative yet simplified and easy to understand video I’ve watched on GLP-1 medication I’ve seen. Thank you for this
I was on it about four months for weight I gained in menopause. I’ve just gone off it. I’m concerned about gaining the weight back given all the stories I’ve heard. I’ve always had pretty good eating habits, but I haven’t been exercising lately. I’m going to start now. I already follow a high protein, low carb diet and I try not to eat any processed food.
Three weeks on it for type 2 diabetes. In three weeks I lost tons of muscle, had no energy, could not walk up my driveway, sugar spikes and I got pancreatitis. This stuff is evil.
Great video have seen 2 friends end up in the hospital on these weight loss drugs. Paralysis of the stomach, congestion in the lungs and they look deflated from muscle loss and one of them keeps getting sick with colds etc. I thought about it but ya know what it’s 20 lbs I wanna lose but I lose it naturally and keep my muscle and my overall health. It’s not for everyone obviously and I’m grateful I don’t need it for diabetes. Be safe everyone
Semaglutide has been a game changer. Ive had a heck of a time losing 30lbs. I'm understanding my body's hunger cues better. I'm also seeing how insulin resistant I was. I've massively cut carbs. Great video, thank you. 🙌
Great information I wanted to try the shot but was afraid of the aftermath. With your guidance of exercise and daily lifestyle changes I will be able to follow through this. Thank you for this video.
Nobody should stop these medications. They're meant to be on for life. Maybe over time there will be pills that work just as well (Rybelsus is decent I think) or something that lasts longer...but it's a LONG TERM treatment.
First of all, this is a result of weight loss, it doesn’t matter how you lose the weight, when you drop a lot of pounds there will be loose skin, which will tighten somewhat, depending on a few variables.
@@gloriasaliba3395 I’m not incorrect. I’m married to a powerlifter who also trains men and women who compete in the sport. One of the women he trains lost 80 pounds, about 4 years ago. She just had a skin removal surgery on her lower abdomen because of the excess skin after losing so much weight. She eats correctly, weight and cardio trains and still had a few pounds of loose skin that wouldn’t go away. She’s only in her 40s, but her skin might have responded better if she had been in her 20s or 30s.
Yes anybody who makes up this utter bullshit about "you'll lose muscle mass!!" is almost certainly selling something. They're likely weight loss or workout coaches who stand to lose money when their services aren't needed anymore.
@@gloriasaliba3395Some people just have horrible skin genetics. I've lost 60 kg and had no issues with my skin. It's very tight. But I have a friend that lost 15 kg and her skin is very loose.
You are incorrect. Gloriasaliba3395 has it right. I lost 120 pounds and have kept it off for 5 years now. The doctor ask me why didn't I have any loose skin? Reason, strength training eating high protein and intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is the main key to not having loose skin. @@bevyaks2
I had a good run for about 9 weeks. Moved up to 1mg and the side effects were horrific. Couldn’t eat, drink or hold anything down. Fatigue, headaches and nausea depleted me. Hypoglycemia plagued me. It was horrible!!! Couldn’t leave the house.Then came a complete downhill to my mental health. It was like a switch being turned on. If you struggle with any anxiety or depression stay away from Ozempic and Wegovy!.I am only 3 weeks out from my last dose and still having side effects. Be careful!
Drs Ben Bikman, Gabrielle Lyon and Jason Fung are experts in this field - I am a 62 year old T2D have lost 55 pounds over 8 months by reducing my processed carbs and sugar - increasing protein good fats and veges. I have 2 super delicious meals within an6-8 hour period - I have my fibre first folllowed by protein fats and carbs - sugar last if I have it. I also pair some fats with my fruit either nuts peanut butter or cheese this also help reduce insulin spikes - I’m walking every day, drinking 90-100 ounces of water and strength train 2-3 days per week. I have significantly reduced my AIC and other concerning blood results - sadly we live in a culture where everyone wants a quick fix - sustaining weight loss and good health require long term behavioural change - it has taken me a very long time to truly appreciate this - good luck and health everyone
Thank you! I need to slowly go off this medication as I am a paraplegic & get little exercise. I have a Awesome sister who cooks for me and has helped me get off processed food.
I truly.dont know if ozempic is worth it, besides the fact i cannot eat very much nor have hunger for food. I dont overeat anymore. I have lost 22 lbs and love working out
How would this work for someone such as myself who's accustomed to weighing 125-130lbs and stop the medication after losing a significant amount of weight? Will my body remember that old thin self once i get back to that weight? Or the overweight person?
I went off Mounjaro cold turkey in March. I have lost 3 more pounds but my body has stabilized at the same weight now for 2 months and it's frustrating. I am also counting calories and doing Keto now to try and save my metabolism and gut from the destruction it caused me. My kidneys began to fail on that poison.
Did you have trouble controlling your hunger once Mounjaro was completely out of your system? I’m going off soon and I’m concerned about how difficult it will be to maintain my weight loss.
@@ehrobbins You're not SUPPOSED to get off it. Obesity is a chronic condition and needs chronic treatment. Of course hunger returns once you're off the medication.
I work in a Pharmacy and we have to remember that Ozempic was made for Diabetes and one of the side effects was weight loss. That's why they come out with Wegovy that is the same medication but now out there for weight loss. Dr. should be prescribing it accordingly. This would have prevented the shortage on the Ozempic when Doctors were giving it for weight loss because Wegovy was not covered. Those who needed it could not get it because someone needed to loose 10 pounds. That's is sad and many Pharmacy's and Insurances have to track it's use. . That being said...thanks for the information. Both medications are good tools, but a good reminder that out diet is very important to help get to where you need to be to be healthy. That's the goal with ether medications.
In an ideal world I'd agree with you, but considering Novo Nordisk hasn't even announced when they will supply Wegovy to my country, what can doctors here prescribe?
Ive been on mounjaro for 9 months and lost 50 lbs. Which is a normal weight for me upper and lower body with abs on those days.I am terrified of gaining it back. When i started i knew i had to change everything. I do 30 min. Cardio altetnating rowing and stationary bike at 80 to 90% 5 times a week and resistance and weight training. I make protein a priority, i cut out processed foods and sugar. I eat only fresh or frozen fruit like blueberries and veggies. But it sounds like if i stop the med its inevitable to gain weight. Im off BP meds, statins, and my nafld is all but gone. Last a1c was 5.3. But i fear that it will all be for not when i stop the mounjaro.
You have type II diabetes cause you cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin removes sugar from blood. Tyoe II diabetics are insulin insensitive BECAUSE they are overweight. Let’s not pretend having having type II diabetes is a more noble cause for wanting to use this drug for weight loss. Those wanting to lose 30 vanity pounds and those who are already diagnosed with type II diabetes are both just groups wanting to control their appetite and are equally entitled to access to this drug. Having said that, it’s not a good long term solution
Then you didn’t address your eating issues. The idea is to track your food and then maintain that, not push the limits of what you can eat at every opportunity.
@@strangertobluewater Stupid comment. The idea is that obesity is a lifetime problem and needs lifetime treatment. This isn't a short term drug. Not how it works. Get a clue. There's a reason WHY we need this medication in the first place. Because "addressing eating issues" just doesn't stick with people. We're driven to eat more and go back to our previous SET weight.
Amazing videos! Im a 40yo male I am 116kg and 178cm and considering going on wegovy. I currently do a PPL on a 6 day split at the gym and I train with rather large weights, I currently bench 70kg and squat 80kg. I was once trim and muscly and just want to get a good kickstart back to something lighter to then continue on and build from. My question is, should I to start wegovy? Can I still train a heavy PPL or is that dangerous and should I go to a lighter resistance PPL routine?
I don't want to use ozempic, however every diet i have done has caused rebound weight plus more. I went from being 200lbs to over 300 over the course of 20 years with almost 15 years of tracking data. Do you think all these tips would be something to implement for their benefits without the ozempic? It seems like they would? Ty!
I am a diabetic. It’s really difficult for people with diabetes to get any of these medications because there are so many people taking it for weigh loss. It has made prices go up to $181.00 a month. For the past 3 years I paid $25.00 per month. It has also caused medication shortages. So I have to take a very high dose of metformin in the morning & night. It causes headaches, stomach pain, esophagus pain, weakness, my diabetic neuropathy is much worse……etc. I don’t understand why or how people are getting prescribed medication that is intended for diabetes. So people like me who really need these medications for a Better quality of life. So that we don’t experience blood sugars that go high or low so quickly that it makes you very sick very quickly. The headache start’s, then the body aches, nausea and vomiting. Once your vomiting how can you swallow a pill and keep it down? You don’t you are sick until you are able to keep fluids down and hope that you can keep your metformin down. That’s why the shots are so important. If I have a a injectable I can control my blood sugar and not get sick.
Please do yourself a favor and read The Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung (look up his Diabetes Lies video here on YT while you're at it). So many people suffer needlessly...sad, sad world. 😔🤐
One thing I have not heard anyone mention is if you combine healthy eating and and strength training, people are on these medications are they seeing any better results compared to some on who has already had years of health problems?
Please pronounce Ozempic correctly. Also folks, remember that opinions arent facts. I choose to trust my Dr. I was put on Ozempic for my diabetes over a year ago. My Merformin was decreased and recently discontinued. I have lost 75 pounds, experience very few side effects, ( even on 2 mg ), have an A1C of 5.5 and have perfect blood sugar levels. Not all of us are scare stories. Nothing is perfect, but for me the benefits are huge. ( no pun intended)
Thank you for sharing. I had Was on Ozempic, and still am. For less than 6 months I have been taking it. The side effects are good I was able to sleep much better, and this bathroom breaks. The negative side is my B12 levels are increasing, and I have low blood levels. I haven’t gained or lost any weight on Ozempic.
Thank you….I have time for all that stuff she talking about….I eat right and still gain weight because of my fibromyalgia….so what am I supposed to do? Just sit and eat green drinks while working 12 hrs a day? I am gonna try Ozempic soon…will drink plenty of water while on it.
A lot of advice I see today is to eat more protein to feel full and lose weight. I believe this to be true. But I have kidney disease. And high protein diets can lead to problems. I'm 6'5" and my optimal weight is 205 pounds. That puts me at about 145 grams of protein a day. I used to eat that much before CKD. Now I eat between 90 and 120 grams. Is this level alright while taking Wegovy?
I love your videos, so informative. I have a question about vegetables. I’ve taken to juicing lots of greens and freezing them in ice cubes trays. I’ll put 5 or 6 cubes in a jar and add a cup of water. Am I still getting my required number of nutrients this way?
I’ve been weight training for a few years. I have built muscles over the years but also gained weight and not lost fat. BMI 31-34 ish. I have PCOS and pre diabetes, also started getting high blood pressure. I’m also on cholesterol medicine and metformin for 2 months. I try eating enough protein but I’m not 100% able to because I don’t like eating meat as much. What am I doing wrong? If diet is not in place, the weight training should atleast work, but nothing. Do I have to go on GLP1 and will that fix me?
I'm on ozempic...only lost 20 lbs in the last 2 months since I started Jardience. I workout 3 times a week at the gym, walk daily and exercise at home. Im155 LBS ...20 MORE TO GO.
TLDR: Specific diet and lifestyle strategies, including resistance training, proper nutrition, and monitoring body composition, are crucial for preventing muscle loss and weight regain when stopping weight loss drugs like Ozempic. 00:00 💡 Weight loss drugs like ozempic can cause muscle mass loss and rebound weight regain, but specific diet and lifestyle strategies can minimize these effects. 03:10 📉 Ozempic improves metabolic rate and insulin sensitivity, preventing weight regain, but stopping it can lead to muscle loss and fat gain, lowering metabolic rate, which can be prevented through resistance training and proper diet and exercise. 05:51 💡 Focus on building muscle and improving body composition through resistance training to prevent weight regain when stopping Ozempic, using dexa scans and bio impedance scales to monitor progress. 09:03 📌 Maintaining muscle and focusing on gut health through diet and microbiome rehab is crucial for preventing weight regain after stopping Ozempic, with a focus on consuming lean, healthy protein sources to meet daily protein intake. 11:06 👍 Focus on adding protein to meals, track intake with Carbon app, and balance macros for stable blood sugar; feed gut microbiome with diverse fibers and colors for weight management and overall health. 13:20 🥦 Eat 5 servings of veggies, 2 servings of fruit, healthy fats, protein, and diverse foods within a 10-12 hour window to prevent weight regain after stopping Ozempic. 15:57 💧 Staying hydrated, consuming protein, greens, and fiber, and taking supplements like multivitamins and creatine can help prevent weight regain and muscle loss when stopping Ozempic. 19:20 💡 Consider using Mito pure, berberine, and apple cider vinegar to maintain results when coming off Ozempic, and track macros and body composition for improvement.
Start with eating proteins. Red meat, eggs, butter, fish. These are the building blocks of muscles. Everything else blocks absorption of these vital nutrients.
I love the information here. I have a question though. I workout a lot but quetiapine made me gain 30lbs of fat. Ugh! My Dr gave me mounjaro and mam it works well. I’m wondering if the studies you’re basing your info off of were studies done with very overweight sedentary.
You have some wonderful information in your video - but please be very careful about citing studies. One study performed does not create an actionable fact. And when you described that 2/3 rds regain the weight - that's only partially correct. I was part of the study. The facts are patients in several studies were put on semaglutide for 68 weeks. That is the recommended cycle for weight loss. Two years out for those after the 68 weeks still maintained their weight loss, and retained their blood pressure, glucose and cardiac protections. Overall, with retained lifestyle and dietary improvements used with the drug they maintained the 14% weight loss. The second group were dosed for 20 weeks. This group upon stopping the drug at 20 weeks instead of the recommended 68 weeks regained approximately 7% of the weight back. To gain be if its intended - patients must commit to 68 weeks. The control group that were given dietary and lifestyle changes exactly line the drug participants lost less than 2% over 68 weeks - I need to mention that. There are also strict dosing guidelines that if are not followed create havoc on your system. The drug is administered different doses according to what each patient and doctor decide. The dietary changes and exercise must also be implemented. You can't just take this drug and not eat correctly. No protein means massive muscle loss. It's not intended to make you stop eating. It's not a magic pill. It comes with risks - as all medications do. Reading some of these comments is so discouraging. This drug is very necessary and has been used for quite awhile for diabetics. It's implementation for weight loss and pre diabetics is a real chance to not have to resort to super harmful restrictive diets, weight loss surgeries, etc. If you have any questions - please ask me. I am a medical professional and have been in the studies so many are misquiting. Even doctors are spreading misinformation about the studies. I have heard on three videos today “the weight comes back when you stop the drug.” That's only partially correct. It reminds me of the falsified “facts” doctors spread about HRT just ten years ago. Everyone needs to make their own choices but be informed fully. Please read the full study published in the AMA.
Question, do you believe the Ozempuc is safe? In general? I'm on it now, but curious. Are we the guinea pigs? I am starting to hear things. Yes there is always a risk, but...
Great question and it's good you're thinking this. YES, those on it for weight loss (and many who are not obese) are indeed the lab rats for the long term effects. Even my doctor told me that. It's only been since June 2021 that FDA approved this for weight loss. It was already approved long ago for diabetes so there's mot data on that than for weight loss as the primary goal. No medication is safe for everyone, there are always side-effects. Some people have problems and others won't.
Im looking for Urolithin-A, and it’s looking super expensive. I’m not necessarily wanting to spend $60-100+ a month on 1 supplement. Is a Pomegranate supplement the same thing? That seems cheaper. 😊
Yes we are guinea pigs. Period. I was never told what the hell was wrong with me dropping weight not eating for five days I am a mess I look horrific. I never wanted to lose a pound now look at me. My doctor gave me zofran a cancer pill that stop horrendous throwing up 10 or more times a day. I could stop or prevent throwing up. You will never be hungry again I haven't been hungry in geezzz 10 months. This is very depressing. Don't mess with this crap truly Don't please
This video just overwhelmed me confused me. I'm thinking of starting ozempic I am type 2 and after watching this seems like a lot of extra stuff to buy . This is too much info do u have this info I can print and keep on hand
I have never seen the Ozempic face… I keep hoping someone will show a before and after. I have diabetes… I hear O is more effective than most drugs. But the weight loss part does scare me. I lift weight now… so I’m wondering how it will affect me. Do you know?
I take a lot of nutritional supplements daily and I am about to start Ozempic. I am wodering how my body will absorb these supplements if food stays in your stomach so long. Will Ozempic interfere with the absorbtion?
If you have a surgery coming up ... then do NOT take Ozempic ... Dr. Berry has a video about how Ozempic can be very dangerous if you are about to have a surgery.
Ok, I can't even finish this video because i feel it starts with unproven estatements. Firstly, unless you have data that proves that Ozempic or Wegovy or whatever directly affects and breaks down muscle mass, the severe ratio is totally attributable to rapid weightloss. Lose too much too soon, and that's what happens. Skinny fat. Anyone with some basic fitness knwoledge knows that. Get something like a Renpho scale that measures all these things and keep an eye on values. If you're losing too fast, perhaps "overfeed" one day of the week to compensate calories and lose a little slower. Make sure they are good calories, not trash. Make sure you eat a gram of protein per pound of weight and so some resistance training. Then measure your levels of body protein, water and muscle mass on the scale and adjust accordingly. For some people, this medication is the difference between happiness and misery. Don't be put off.
I'm only taking this medication to help me restructure my mindset regarding health and eating. I only need to lose about 15 lbs to get back to a healthy weight. After that, I'll get off the drug and maintain my health with more discipline regarding diet and exercise. When I've gain too much weight, everything hurts, I pull muscles easier, simple exercise gets much more difficult and joints hurt. When I'm at a good weight, all of that goes away and I do so much better. So for me, experiencing all that pain and difficulty is a strong motivation whereas before, I just wanted to look good.
Took Mounjaro for diabetes. Did not decrease appetite nor did it make me lose any real weight. Lost 8 lbs in 4 months but my A1C is better. Not worth the cost of my copay with my insurance.
Wow, You are Awesome! I watched your video because sooo many people are now using these unsafe drugs to lose weight and Ignore the dangerous side effects. You just Clearly described the Safe and Effective and Natural way to be healthy and lose weight and maintain muscles!! Natural Cures are the only way to go and your simple plan is a Healthy Lifestyle. Thank you for the extra Natural supplements to help.
I can will myself to lose 50 lbs, but every time I do, I l put on more than I lost. I found out recently i have low testosterone. My question is, even though I lose weight while lifting, could I still be losing muscle because of the low T? I think this is why I gain more back because I have less muscle every time I lose weight.
Talk to your DR about Hormone replacement. It works for both sexes. I lost 30 lbs the first year when I went on hormones. I feel better overall thanks to hormones.
I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies. God blessed me! with use of herbs 🌿
RHETORICAL QUESTION: You stop any sensible eating & fitness plan, what happens? You will gain some or all of it back. It's been happening for centuries. People! Keep taking your Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, or whatever new medication to keep you healthy science has created for you. Hey, JJ, instead of bashing it, why don't you become an advocate of it?
Ozempic made me super sick and caused massive anxiety attacks. Went off attacks are gone and 10 pounds is gained and continues to rise no matter what I eat! No joke.
Weight lifting can help you gain muscle and increase metabolism. Most likely metabolism had decreases because the less you eat over time will mess it up

Hello! from France France. What are the names of the 2 bactérias in the guts? TY
what is the true story regarding losing muscle mass on these drugs? i am readiing about "ozempic face" and losing face to be saggy and losing muscle mass so that yes you lose weight on the scale, but compositionally you are worse off which then reduces your metabolism. i read that they only looked at WEIGHT not fat loss. I'm starting to be afraid of this stuff. I have been on ozempic and now mounjaro and i don't want to ruin my body.
I have lost 155 lbs on Manjuro! I have changed my lifestyle! I workout 6 days a week! Now insurance has kicked me off the med! Too be honest I am terrified I will gain it back! I am very determined never to go back to 436 again! I will do what I have to keep it off! Y’all say a prayer for me!
take berberine 500mg 3 xtimes a day same amount of weight loss as ozempic it's all natural do the research on it
Consider WW
@@1ametoyuki I have tried every diet known to man !
You can do it. You have changed.
If you stick to working out and tracking calories you won't.
I almost went on it. After reading these comments, no way. I’ll keep trying with my intermittent fasting, weight training & walking.
I am so grateful to my italian mom. She cooked, and didnt give me sweets. Mom never let me snack. I never think about any of this. I am the same weight since i was 20, i am 59.
I had the last 10pounds to loose, really tried keto/carnivore etc for 10y and not possible to loose those last 10! I try ozempic within 2mo I was down to my high school fit weight!!! I did only 2mo I stop ozempic and kept my eating style still weight my perfect weight for 6mo after
I have kept the weight off as well! Eating right!
Dumb. You only had ten pounds to lose and took a weight loss drug 👀🙄
I've been trying since 2003 to get back to 145, so I know how frustrating that is! I've got 20 pounds to go. I'm on day 4. I do "all the things" except lifting heavy, which I'm going to start doing this week. We're meeting with a trainer at the gym tomorrow ❤
I’m post meno and I have a fasting regimen and make sure I get over 100 grams of protein limit my carbs to no more than 100 grams and I’m good to go. Losing like a champ. I also walk and do Pilates.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Same here I’ve lost 55 pounds over 8 months from TRE 6-8 hours per day removing processed carbs and sugar and prioritising my protein good fats and veges, drink 3 litres per day walk and do Pilates strength training 2-3 times per week - I’ve lowered my AIC and improved all other bloods have another 50 pounds to lose and I’m determined to do so
@Gloria Saliba what is TRE? Congrats on your weight loss
@@kaleeb3410 time restricted eating
You can exercise all you want which is great but if do not adjust your food intake and make sure you are eating healthy veggies and protein, you are not going to have too much of a difference in your weight. What you eat makes the biggest difference.
I’ve been on Wegovy for several months now for weight loss. I have had zero side effects and I’ve lost about 30 lbs. I have a manual labor job I work out at home with dumbbells and walk several miles a day. I am also drinking protein drinks and eating a much better diet than I used to.
That's awesome! Where did you get it?

Your video should be MANDATORY teaching before a prescription is written!!! I was off for about a month and guess what? You guessed it! And I’m 68 yrs old!!! Guess what else happened? I lost so much muscle!!!! I have to listen to your video again, especially the what to do part!! I played catch with my granddaughter today and was pretty awesome. I’ve been SO tired on this med that I’ve barely exercised at all. Plus I’m having a total knee replacement in a month. I need to be STRONG so I can lug my R leg around!!! I know about resistance exercises. I’ll have to go to bed now. Tomorrow’s another day. .THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I needed to be spoon fed!!!
YES you’ll regain weight when you stop if you haven’t changed your lifestyle like ALL THINGS, you cannot keep eating trash and expect long lasting results. And you can lose muscle with ozempic if you don’t eat a lot of good protein and work out. If you don’t want to do the work, don’t do it all, unless you want to risk being on a med your whole life
I support your comment 100%!!!🙌🏼
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes
It took me three weeks to get the medication, do the back locks and it sat in my fridge for one week while I debated taking it because I was already getting my numbers down on my own after making a few minor adjustments to my diet and I was doing well but my doctor insisted that I take it because I wasn’t gonna be able to control a random spikes. Regrettably on July 1
I took my first .25 dose. The absolute worst mistake of my life within an hour. I ended up in the emergency room. The ER doctors were wonderful and they shared with me there discussed on the hype over this medication and I’m not even on it for weight loss, but strictly for diabetes and they’ve seen many people sick on this medication. I had a severe allergic reaction to it. I’m so angry that I went against my gut feeling and took it when I came home, I grabbed all the medication in my fridge and threw it in the trash. I sent a message to my doctor to let her know that I ended up in the ER and I was going to do this on my own without medication. I simply cannot imagine people taking this drug for weight loss. I understand that they are desperate to lose weight, but the long-term effects per the ER doctors are scary. I’m equally upset with pharmaceutical companies that push the stuff and mislead people. I’m still sick and I can’t eat anything which has become detrimental as I’m diabetic. My stomach hurts and I just feel overall horrible and there’s no way to flush this out of your system faster the ER doctor said I will probably not feel great for another month but there’s no such thing as flushing Ozempic out of your system. Never again will I go against my gut feeling. My neighbors daughter used it to lose weight after having a baby I couldn’t even believe it but now she can’t get the medication because her insurance company will only cover it with a diagnosis of diabetes and it’s very expensive without insurance, and she is already going back to her old ways of gaining weight and then some. Ozempic is just a crutch. Once you get off of it, the doctor is right away it will come back, unless you make strict modifications in your life and stick to them. Sadly, many people have a fast food mentality. They want to lose weight fast that they gained steadily over the years and years of bad eating habits. Doing it with this medication is definitely a roll of the dice with your life.
The best thing I did with all of the Ozempic I had was throw it in the trash and never look back. I wish everyone well but please please be very careful just because it may appear to be working now. Doesn’t mean it will long-term this drug is very unpredictable per the ER doctors
♥️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing!
wow first dose .25 that's a lot! I'm on .5 for diabetes type 2 and other diabetic health issues. Been on mounjaro for a year and decreased metformin. That dosage .25 for the first time seem like a possible shock to the system. I'm on .5ml or 10 mg. I weighed 235 a year ago and down to 165. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.
Sounds like you started out too high. Most people do not have any of the effects you dealt with. I’m so sorry you had to endure that!
Because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't mean that's across the board. 1st of all, this medication has been around for yrs for diabetes why are we now hearing of all these horrible side effects. There are too many success stories. People have to be smart and educate themselves on the drug before starting.
Misleading. It helps so many who suffer from obesity and diabetes.
I took Ozempic from October 2022 until the beginning of March 2023 when I finally figured out what was happening. It changed me. I was overly anxious and fearful of literally everything every single day. My nurse brother actually noticed my weird personality changes on the phone and he alerted me that I was freaking out about minor problems and told me whatever I was on to get off of it! We discussed all of my unusual symptoms like weird taste every and phlegm in back of my throat every morning and muscle loss on face and other strange areas like my forearms and wrists and we concluded only after a gastro and a primary physician appointment that Ozempic was indeed the problem. Yes, I had some weight loss and I was not hungry whatsoever and
that was so nice.. but make NO MISTAKE! Ozempic has very bad side effects for some people and I am one of them. I went to the ER twice while on Ozempic and they did multiple scans and a nasty swallow test. I developed horrible gastritis and severe Gerd. It had my digestive system slowed down to a crawl. My hair was coming out in handfuls every time I showered, and I mean every time, the brush was full of hair!! This went on until about a week ago until I noticed it has slowed down some. Ozempic stays in your system like 4 weeks after you stop taking it. Needless to say, I cannot tolerate Ozempic 😢
Thank you for sharing, Bobette.
I pray that you heal from this experience.
What a horrible experience, so happy you are recovering. Best wishes moving forward.
Bobette, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve experienced these awful side effects while taking OZEMPIC. I also had the same experience plus severe bloating, tummy pain, constipation, nausea and dizziness… I’ve lost a lot of hair and hope that now that I’m off the drug that my hair will start to grow back. It’s still falling out but much less. I was on Ozempic for about 18 months. My endocrinologist reassured me that it wasn’t Ozempic causing the hair loss and all the other symptoms (that you mentioned)… she said that only nausea and some constipation was noted as main side effects. I stay on the drug and got worst and not losing any major weight. Thankful that my physician finally listened to me and I won’t ever be taking Ozempic again or any drug that is similar to it. Wishing you a full recovery from this drug and hope that by this time next year, your hair is healthy, thick and long again. Best wishes to you. Much love from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 🤗
My friends daughter had a seizer. This drug is not to be played with.
I did a Styku analysis after losing 70 lbs on Mounjaro.
Wish I’d been able to do one prior. My BMII is in a healthy range, as is my muscle mass. I’m still working out doing strength training & TRX exercise in order to maintain my weight loss and to add to my muscle mass! I’ll revisit the Styku to see what my progress will be!
I do need to amp up my protein intake!
Now that it has been a couple of months have you been successful in keeping it off?
I took Ozempic for 4 months, it was great while being on it. But guess what, I gained all the weight back 😅 lesson is, it is NOT sustainable to be on it long run and there’s absolutely nothing like developing healthy sustainable habits, now I am in a plant based diet as I am trying to reverse insulin resistance. Don’t do as I did! Good luck every one 😊
Thank you for sharing.
Your video made me decide not to take weight loss drugs. Thank you.
Can you make a second video for those of us on Ozempic who actually are on the cusp of diabetes and need to lose weight? We're not worried about Ozempic face.
Did you actually watch the video?
I just stopped taking this crap. I took it for 1 year I lost9 inches off waist in total 82 lbs. Off. I look sick almost dead I have no energy can't even ride a bike cause the bike is too heavy. I'm miserable I look miserable I act like a invalid. I'm 65 my doctor should have told about this crap. This drug should be taken off the market.
@@kathyoneal5319 Sounds like you should have been more closely monitored and better educated on nutrition, hydration, and supplementation. Many people are successful on these meds and have been for almost 20 years.
Yes! Exactly
Are people really going to financially , an physically keep up the change in their lifestyle that comes with taking these weight loss products for YEARS to keep weight off.? Some people maybe, but NO , I don’t think so. Taking a pill or shot is a easy way to loose the weight but eventually a lot of people will gain it back, and realize they wasted a lot of money an probably did damage to their bodies that has not been detected yet. I will be curious in a year or three to hear the long term studies on this new loose weight quick plan. If you need to take this medication people you legit are diagnosed with a medical condition I support it however if it is people’s own vanity speaking than I oppose this.
This is the single most well put informative yet simplified and easy to understand video I’ve watched on GLP-1 medication I’ve seen. Thank you for this
Thank you!
I was on it about four months for weight I gained in menopause. I’ve just gone off it. I’m concerned about gaining the weight back given all the stories I’ve heard. I’ve always had pretty good eating habits, but I haven’t been exercising lately. I’m going to start now. I already follow a high protein, low carb diet and I try not to eat any processed food.
Just drink water and eat right….stay focused…you will be fine.
@@rolas.k2275 Fortunately I have. Probably because I only lost about 15 lbs.
I did a CLINICAL trial on Semiglutide. I lost 20 pounds . Now trying to maintain. I am 65! I want to maintain and build MUSCLE! Thanks for the tips!
Three weeks on it for type 2 diabetes. In three weeks I lost tons of muscle, had no energy, could not walk up my driveway, sugar spikes and I got pancreatitis. This stuff is evil.
Great video have seen 2 friends end up in the hospital on these weight loss drugs. Paralysis of the stomach, congestion in the lungs and they look deflated from muscle loss and one of them keeps getting sick with colds etc. I thought about it but ya know what it’s 20 lbs I wanna lose but I lose it naturally and keep my muscle and my overall health. It’s not for everyone obviously and I’m grateful I don’t need it for diabetes. Be safe everyone
My weightloss doctor reminds me the importance of resistance exercises to muscle mass.
Semaglutide has been a game changer. Ive had a heck of a time losing 30lbs. I'm understanding my body's hunger cues better. I'm also seeing how insulin resistant I was. I've massively cut carbs. Great video, thank you. 🙌
Thanks for watching!
Great information I wanted to try the shot but was afraid of the aftermath. With your guidance of exercise and daily lifestyle changes I will be able to follow through this. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching.
Are you suggesting doing all of this while taking ozempic ? or only when weening off
Are you saying you're going to take Wegovy or not?
Stopping Ozempic is like stopping all weight loss programs. You likely will gain some back. 'Maintenance is just the beginning'.
Nobody should stop these medications. They're meant to be on for life. Maybe over time there will be pills that work just as well (Rybelsus is decent I think) or something that lasts longer...but it's a LONG TERM treatment.

@@DanK123if they’re responsible, anyone can get off these medications if they were using these for weight loss.
First of all, this is a result of weight loss, it doesn’t matter how you lose the weight, when you drop a lot of pounds there will be loose skin, which will tighten somewhat, depending on a few variables.
Incorrect - if you’re strength training eating required protein and intermittent fasting you won’t have loose skin
@@gloriasaliba3395 I’m not incorrect. I’m married to a powerlifter who also trains men and women who compete in the sport. One of the women he trains lost 80 pounds, about 4 years ago. She just had a skin removal surgery on her lower abdomen because of the excess skin after losing so much weight. She eats correctly, weight and cardio trains and still had a few pounds of loose skin that wouldn’t go away. She’s only in her 40s, but her skin might have responded better if she had been in her 20s or 30s.
Yes anybody who makes up this utter bullshit about "you'll lose muscle mass!!" is almost certainly selling something. They're likely weight loss or workout coaches who stand to lose money when their services aren't needed anymore.
@@gloriasaliba3395Some people just have horrible skin genetics. I've lost 60 kg and had no issues with my skin. It's very tight. But I have a friend that lost 15 kg and her skin is very loose.
You are incorrect. Gloriasaliba3395 has it right. I lost 120 pounds and have kept it off for 5 years now. The doctor ask me why didn't I have any loose skin? Reason, strength training eating high protein and intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is the main key to not having loose skin. @@bevyaks2
I had a good run for about 9 weeks. Moved up to 1mg and the side effects were horrific. Couldn’t eat, drink or hold anything down. Fatigue, headaches and nausea depleted me. Hypoglycemia plagued me. It was horrible!!! Couldn’t leave the house.Then came a complete downhill to my mental health. It was like a switch being turned on. If you struggle with any anxiety or depression stay away from Ozempic and Wegovy!.I am only 3 weeks out from my last dose and still having side effects. Be careful!
The fatigue is horrendous
Oh please. Your experience is either a) bullshit or b) a VERY RARE case. This is not anywhere near typical.

Drs Ben Bikman, Gabrielle Lyon and Jason Fung are experts in this field - I am a 62 year old T2D have lost 55 pounds over 8 months by reducing my processed carbs and sugar - increasing protein good fats and veges. I have 2 super delicious meals within an6-8 hour period - I have my fibre first folllowed by protein fats and carbs - sugar last if I have it. I also pair some fats with my fruit either nuts peanut butter or cheese this also help reduce insulin spikes - I’m walking every day, drinking 90-100 ounces of water and strength train 2-3 days per week. I have significantly reduced my AIC and other concerning blood results - sadly we live in a culture where everyone wants a quick fix - sustaining weight loss and good health require long term behavioural change - it has taken me a very long time to truly appreciate this - good luck and health everyone
Thank you for sharing, Gloria.
Thank you! I need to slowly go off this medication as I am a paraplegic & get little exercise. I have a Awesome sister who cooks for me and has helped me get off processed food.
I truly.dont know if ozempic is worth it, besides the fact i cannot eat very much nor have hunger for food. I dont overeat anymore. I have lost 22 lbs and love working out
I lost weight on weight watchers and gained it all back plus some time and time again, it's no different than Ozempic
Weight Watchers is a giant joke.
Exactly
But ozempic is more dangerous.
It’s a lifestyle it’s not something you can do for a bit then go back to bad habits. 😃
How would this work for someone such as myself who's accustomed to weighing 125-130lbs and stop the medication after losing a significant amount of weight? Will my body remember that old thin self once i get back to that weight? Or the overweight person?
Thank you for being such an amazing teacher. I finally understand some things that were over my head! ❤

I went off Mounjaro cold turkey in March. I have lost 3 more pounds but my body has stabilized at the same weight now for 2 months and it's frustrating. I am also counting calories and doing Keto now to try and save my metabolism and gut from the destruction it caused me. My kidneys began to fail on that poison.

I work in a Pharmacy and we have to remember that Ozempic was made for Diabetes and one of the side effects was weight loss. That's why they come out with Wegovy that is the same medication but now out there for weight loss. Dr. should be prescribing it accordingly. This would have prevented the shortage on the Ozempic when Doctors were giving it for weight loss because Wegovy was not covered. Those who needed it could not get it because someone needed to loose 10 pounds. That's is sad and many Pharmacy's and Insurances have to track it's use. .
That being said...thanks for the information. Both medications are good tools, but a good reminder that out diet is very important to help get to where you need to be to be healthy. That's the goal with ether medications.
100% this!
Thank you for saying this!
Wegovy had a bigger shortage than ozempic all of 2022. It wasn’t prescribed for this reason.
In an ideal world I'd agree with you, but considering Novo Nordisk hasn't even announced when they will supply Wegovy to my country, what can doctors here prescribe?
Exactly!
Ive been on mounjaro for 9 months and lost 50 lbs. Which is a normal weight for me upper and lower body with abs on those days.I am terrified of gaining it back. When i started i knew i had to change everything. I do 30 min. Cardio altetnating rowing and stationary bike at 80 to 90% 5 times a week and resistance and weight training. I make protein a priority, i cut out processed foods and sugar. I eat only fresh or frozen fruit like blueberries and veggies. But it sounds like if i stop the med its inevitable to gain weight. Im off BP meds, statins, and my nafld is all but gone. Last a1c was 5.3. But i fear that it will all be for not when i stop the mounjaro.

I’m on Ozempic BECAUSE I am Type 2 Diabetic and need it to reduce sugar levels. Not for weight loss.
Are you type 2 because you’re overweight? There is no natural type 2.
There are people on this drug who are pre-diabetic and/or obese and their health issues are just as valid as yours as is their access to the drug.
@@sassyt1545 yes, any diabetic or pre diabetic or anyone with medical needs for reducing blood sugar or weight loss. The emphasis is on Medical need.
I am on metformin...I am watch my carbs. Metformin was trouble for the runs
You have type II diabetes cause you cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin removes sugar from blood. Tyoe II diabetics are insulin insensitive BECAUSE they are overweight. Let’s not pretend having having type II diabetes is a more noble cause for wanting to use this drug for weight loss. Those wanting to lose 30 vanity pounds and those who are already diagnosed with type II diabetes are both just groups wanting to control their appetite and are equally entitled to access to this drug. Having said that, it’s not a good long term solution
I’ve been off of semeglutide for five weeks, and I’ve gained 10 pounds
If u have disbrtes you csn take other meds so you dont regain it
Then you didn’t address your eating issues. The idea is to track your food and then maintain that, not push the limits of what you can eat at every opportunity.

Amazing videos! Im a 40yo male I am 116kg and 178cm and considering going on wegovy. I currently do a PPL on a 6 day split at the gym and I train with rather large weights, I currently bench 70kg and squat 80kg. I was once trim and muscly and just want to get a good kickstart back to something lighter to then continue on and build from. My question is, should I to start wegovy? Can I still train a heavy PPL or is that dangerous and should I go to a lighter resistance PPL routine?
I don't want to use ozempic, however every diet i have done has caused rebound weight plus more. I went from being 200lbs to over 300 over the course of 20 years with almost 15 years of tracking data.

I am a diabetic. It’s really difficult for people with diabetes to get any of these medications because there are so many people taking it for weigh loss. It has made prices go up to $181.00 a month. For the past 3 years I paid $25.00 per month. It has also caused medication shortages. So I have to take a very high dose of metformin in the morning & night. It causes headaches, stomach pain, esophagus pain, weakness, my diabetic neuropathy is much worse……etc. I don’t understand why or how people are getting prescribed medication that is intended for diabetes. So people like me who really need these medications for a Better quality of life. So that we don’t experience blood sugars that go high or low so quickly that it makes you very sick very quickly. The headache start’s, then the body aches, nausea and vomiting. Once your vomiting how can you swallow a pill and keep it down? You don’t you are sick until you are able to keep fluids down and hope that you can keep your metformin down. That’s why the shots are so important. If I have a a injectable I can control my blood sugar and not get sick.
Please do yourself a favor and read The Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung (look up his Diabetes Lies video here on YT while you're at it). So many people suffer needlessly...sad, sad world. 😔🤐
Maybe quit eating carbs

Please pronounce Ozempic correctly. Also folks, remember that opinions arent facts. I choose to trust my Dr. I was put on Ozempic for my diabetes over a year ago. My Merformin was decreased and recently discontinued. I have lost 75 pounds, experience very few side effects, ( even on 2 mg ), have an A1C of 5.5 and have perfect blood sugar levels. Not all of us are scare stories. Nothing is perfect, but for me the benefits are huge. ( no pun intended)

Thank you for sharing. I had Was on Ozempic, and still am. For less than 6 months I have been taking it. The side effects are good I was able to sleep much better, and this bathroom breaks. The negative side is my B12 levels are increasing, and I have low blood levels. I haven’t gained or lost any weight on Ozempic.
Thank you….I have time for all that stuff she talking about….I eat right and still gain weight because of my fibromyalgia….so what am I supposed to do? Just sit and eat green drinks while working 12 hrs a day? I am gonna try Ozempic soon…will drink plenty of water while on it.
Ty, my Dr. Wants me on Ozempic. I have Diabetic for 20yrs. I been scared about this medication. Ty again.
Thanks so much!! Not getting much info from my dr
A lot of advice I see today is to eat more protein to feel full and lose weight. I believe this to be true. But I have kidney disease. And high protein diets can lead to problems. I'm 6'5" and my optimal weight is 205 pounds. That puts me at about 145 grams of protein a day. I used to eat that much before CKD. Now I eat between 90 and 120 grams. Is this level alright while taking Wegovy?
I love your videos, so informative. I have a question about vegetables. I’ve taken to juicing lots of greens and freezing them in ice cubes trays. I’ll put 5 or 6 cubes in a jar and add a cup of water. Am I still getting my required number of nutrients this way?
You are killing the live enzymes in the juice. Fresh is best
You are breaking down the fiber that you would have normally via juicing, and juice is less filling than the same amount of whole vegetables
I’ve been weight training for a few years. I have built muscles over the years but also gained weight and not lost fat. BMI 31-34 ish. I have PCOS and pre diabetes, also started getting high blood pressure. I’m also on cholesterol medicine and metformin for 2 months.
I try eating enough protein but I’m not 100% able to because I don’t like eating meat as much.
What am I doing wrong? If diet is not in place, the weight training should atleast work, but nothing.
Do I have to go on GLP1 and will that fix me?
What brand of creatine do you suggest? Thanks in advance

Why u need ozempic.
TLDR: Specific diet and lifestyle strategies, including resistance training, proper nutrition, and monitoring body composition, are crucial for preventing muscle loss and weight regain when stopping weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
00:00 💡 Weight loss drugs like ozempic can cause muscle mass loss and rebound weight regain, but specific diet and lifestyle strategies can minimize these effects.
03:10 📉 Ozempic improves metabolic rate and insulin sensitivity, preventing weight regain, but stopping it can lead to muscle loss and fat gain, lowering metabolic rate, which can be prevented through resistance training and proper diet and exercise.
05:51 💡 Focus on building muscle and improving body composition through resistance training to prevent weight regain when stopping Ozempic, using dexa scans and bio impedance scales to monitor progress.
09:03 📌 Maintaining muscle and focusing on gut health through diet and microbiome rehab is crucial for preventing weight regain after stopping Ozempic, with a focus on consuming lean, healthy protein sources to meet daily protein intake.
11:06 👍 Focus on adding protein to meals, track intake with Carbon app, and balance macros for stable blood sugar; feed gut microbiome with diverse fibers and colors for weight management and overall health.
13:20 🥦 Eat 5 servings of veggies, 2 servings of fruit, healthy fats, protein, and diverse foods within a 10-12 hour window to prevent weight regain after stopping Ozempic.
15:57 💧 Staying hydrated, consuming protein, greens, and fiber, and taking supplements like multivitamins and creatine can help prevent weight regain and muscle loss when stopping Ozempic.
19:20 💡 Consider using Mito pure, berberine, and apple cider vinegar to maintain results when coming off Ozempic, and track macros and body composition for improvement.
Start with eating proteins. Red meat, eggs, butter, fish. These are the building blocks of muscles. Everything else blocks absorption of these vital nutrients.
I love the information here. I have a question though. I workout a lot but quetiapine made me gain 30lbs of fat. Ugh! My Dr gave me mounjaro and mam it works well.
I’m wondering if the studies you’re basing your info off of were studies done with very overweight sedentary.
What about paraplegic 67 yr olds? My Dr tells me this is my best hope to loose 100 lbs.😢
Thank you! Very helpful information on nutrition and exercise.
You're welcome!
I disabled and have had 4 back surgery and have to have another surgery soon. How can I exercise. I need to lose this weight please help me
You have some wonderful information in your video - but please be very careful about citing studies. One study performed does not create an actionable fact. And when you described that 2/3 rds regain the weight - that's only partially correct. I was part of the study. The facts are patients in several studies were put on semaglutide for 68 weeks. That is the recommended cycle for weight loss. Two years out for those after the 68 weeks still maintained their weight loss, and retained their blood pressure, glucose and cardiac protections. Overall, with retained lifestyle and dietary improvements used with the drug they maintained the 14% weight loss. The second group were dosed for 20 weeks. This group upon stopping the drug at 20 weeks instead of the recommended 68 weeks regained approximately 7% of the weight back. To gain be if its intended - patients must commit to 68 weeks. The control group that were given dietary and lifestyle changes exactly line the drug participants lost less than 2% over 68 weeks - I need to mention that.
There are also strict dosing guidelines that if are not followed create havoc on your system. The drug is administered different doses according to what each patient and doctor decide. The dietary changes and exercise must also be implemented. You can't just take this drug and not eat correctly. No protein means massive muscle loss. It's not intended to make you stop eating. It's not a magic pill. It comes with risks - as all medications do. Reading some of these comments is so discouraging. This drug is very necessary and has been used for quite awhile for diabetics. It's implementation for weight loss and pre diabetics is a real chance to not have to resort to super harmful restrictive diets, weight loss surgeries, etc.
If you have any questions - please ask me. I am a medical professional and have been in the studies so many are misquiting. Even doctors are spreading misinformation about the studies. I have heard on three videos today “the weight comes back when you stop the drug.” That's only partially correct. It reminds me of the falsified “facts” doctors spread about HRT just ten years ago. Everyone needs to make their own choices but be informed fully. Please read the full study published in the AMA.
That’s a lot! How to manage everything?
Question, do you believe the Ozempuc is safe? In general? I'm on it now, but curious. Are we the guinea pigs? I am starting to hear things. Yes there is always a risk, but...
Great question and it's good you're thinking this. YES, those on it for weight loss (and many who are not obese) are indeed the lab rats for the long term effects. Even my doctor told me that. It's only been since June 2021 that FDA approved this for weight loss. It was already approved long ago for diabetes so there's mot data on that than for weight loss as the primary goal. No medication is safe for everyone, there are always side-effects. Some people have problems and others won't.
Im looking for Urolithin-A, and it’s looking super expensive. I’m not necessarily wanting to spend $60-100+ a month on 1 supplement. Is a Pomegranate supplement the same thing? That seems cheaper. 😊
Yes we are guinea pigs. Period. I was never told what the hell was wrong with me dropping weight not eating for five days I am a mess I look horrific. I never wanted to lose a pound now look at me. My doctor gave me zofran a cancer pill that stop horrendous throwing up 10 or more times a day. I could stop or prevent throwing up. You will never be hungry again I haven't been hungry in geezzz 10 months. This is very depressing. Don't mess with this crap truly Don't please
Be careful there’s evidence FOMO g out that it reduces skeletal muscle
@@kathyoneal5319 oh please, this is the main goal of people taking it for weightloss.
This video just overwhelmed me confused me. I'm thinking of starting ozempic I am type 2 and after watching this seems like a lot of extra stuff to buy . This is too much info do u have this info I can print and keep on hand
Safe and effective?????
Is using a Pilates reformer “machine” considered enough for building muscle? Doing the major moves using it 2-3 times a week?
OMG Thank you for this !!! ❤
Thank you for watching!
How can I get a cgm? Do you need an MD prescription?
JJ LOVE! LOVE JJ!
Thank you!
I have never seen the Ozempic face… I keep hoping someone will show a before and after. I have diabetes… I hear O is more effective than most drugs. But the weight loss part does scare me. I lift weight now… so I’m wondering how it will affect me. Do you know?
I take a lot of nutritional supplements daily and I am about to start Ozempic. I am wodering how my body will absorb these supplements if food stays in your stomach so long. Will Ozempic interfere with the absorbtion?
If you have a surgery coming up ... then do NOT take Ozempic ... Dr. Berry has a video about how Ozempic can be very dangerous if you are about to have a surgery.
Ok, I can't even finish this video because i feel it starts with unproven estatements. Firstly, unless you have data that proves that Ozempic or Wegovy or whatever directly affects and breaks down muscle mass, the severe ratio is totally attributable to rapid weightloss. Lose too much too soon, and that's what happens. Skinny fat. Anyone with some basic fitness knwoledge knows that. Get something like a Renpho scale that measures all these things and keep an eye on values. If you're losing too fast, perhaps "overfeed" one day of the week to compensate calories and lose a little slower. Make sure they are good calories, not trash. Make sure you eat a gram of protein per pound of weight and so some resistance training. Then measure your levels of body protein, water and muscle mass on the scale and adjust accordingly. For some people, this medication is the difference between happiness and misery. Don't be put off.
I needed it for medical purposes. Now my insurance is refusing to pay for it. I was told because so many are getting it just for weight loss alone.
Thank you ….. easing closer to starting my Mounjaro in my refrigerator… still fearful though
I'm only taking this medication to help me restructure my mindset regarding health and eating. I only need to lose about 15 lbs to get back to a healthy weight. After that, I'll get off the drug and maintain my health with more discipline regarding diet and exercise. When I've gain too much weight, everything hurts, I pull muscles easier, simple exercise gets much more difficult and joints hurt. When I'm at a good weight, all of that goes away and I do so much better. So for me, experiencing all that pain and difficulty is a strong motivation whereas before, I just wanted to look good.
Very informative!
Thank you!
Good info.
Thank you!
Took Mounjaro for diabetes. Did not decrease appetite nor did it make me lose any real weight. Lost 8 lbs in 4 months but my A1C is better. Not worth the cost of my copay with my insurance.
FYI - your web links are all broken & I can’t even find the MVI that you recommend.
Thanks for catching that, link should be good 🙂
Wow, You are Awesome!
I watched your video because sooo many people are now using these unsafe drugs to lose weight and Ignore the dangerous side effects.
You just Clearly described the Safe and Effective and Natural way to be healthy and lose weight and maintain muscles!! Natural Cures are the only way to go and your simple plan is a Healthy Lifestyle. Thank you for the extra Natural supplements to help.
Do you have to be diabetic to get these drugs. I’m not diabetic but I wanna try this. Where can I get it in Atlanta? Anyone? 👀😘
Hi which créatine monohydrate would you recommend?
No one has this much time in a day to do all this unless they don’t work
I can will myself to lose 50 lbs, but every time I do, I l put on more than I lost. I found out recently i have low testosterone. My question is, even though I lose weight while lifting, could I still be losing muscle because of the low T? I think this is why I gain more back because I have less muscle every time I lose weight.
Talk to your DR about Hormone replacement. It works for both sexes. I lost 30 lbs the first year when I went on hormones. I feel better overall thanks to hormones.
Muscle building is slow and testosterone is important for it, so yeah it can affect you.
I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies. God blessed me! with use of herbs 🌿
Excellent explanation 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Why would u lose muscle if u keep protein up and goto gym 4 5 days a week long weight training...also with drugs like testosterone to keep muscle on?
RHETORICAL QUESTION: You stop any sensible eating & fitness plan, what happens? You will gain some or all of it back. It's been happening for centuries. People! Keep taking your Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, or whatever new medication to keep you healthy science has created for you. Hey, JJ, instead of bashing it, why don't you become an advocate of it?
How about metformin?
What if you already have muscle atrophy? I was told I should see an endocrinologist to be placed on growth hormones? I don’t want to gain weight. Ugh
How do you consume adequate amounts of protein is you eat only one meal per day for the autophagy benefits
What side effects are there of the drug? I hope people watching this will LISTEN closely to see how she is using clever word choice.
Right.. who wants to lose bone density and muscle mass on this stuff? Yikes.
I dearly love their pickles
Ozempic made me super sick and caused massive anxiety attacks. Went off attacks are gone and 10 pounds is gained and continues to rise no matter what I eat! No joke.
Weight lifting can help you gain muscle and increase metabolism. Most likely metabolism had decreases because the less you eat over time will mess it up
Could i have the link to the creatine you recommended. I dont see it up at the top
What is that statue behind her shoulder (on the left}? Seriously?
I've been on Ozemphic for awhile now I have saggy skin and a Ozemphic but and I can barely eat and my muscles are detorating.
