@@Evelyn_Okay yes afaik he deleted that video. there are reaction videos of it online though. many have tried to cancel Shane Dawson before (rightfully so) but Wallace comprised so much information in one video and posted it at the exact right time. it genuinely changed a lot of people's minds on Shane Dawson.
i am very much lacking exercise and healthy food, but i live in small town germany, so i literally walk everywhere everyday, that and my amphetamine addiction keeps me below my ideal weight. (hint: the amphetamine does most of the heavy lifting.)
Somehow that doesn't surprise me a ton. The only reason that I know anything about the medications prescribed to me is because I practically interrogate my doctor each time. Every doctor I've had writes the prescription super quick, and is then surprised when I actually ask about it. I think most people are content with a doctor saying "here, take this, it'll help", they rarely feel the need to ask "help what? help how? with what side effects? how will this interact with my binge drinking?", etc.
@@yeah-sn7jv exactly we are here if you have the questions and often times will ask if you do? The only forced counseling on a drug is when there is an interaction with another med that can literally kill you. At least from a retail pharmacy in MD
From ozempic and now mounjaro, I’ve lost 45lbs in 6 months, with only 8 to go to be “normal weight”. My liver enzymes, blood pressure, and A1c are back to normal. I can walk endlessly without being out of breath and I can recognize my self in a mirror. I’m now also not an alcoholic or shopaholic. I went off of them for 5 months and didn’t gain it back. Granted I gained the 60lbs in a short amount of time prior and never was overweight before that, so I have a unique experience. It also encouraged me more to take care of myself. I’m just so grateful. I will say the constipation and fatigue was WICKED for ozempic. Mounjaro had less side effects and somehow worked better.
I have family on mounjaro and they’ve all said the side effects are also less severe. Also, congratulations! Being able to better yourself is always great ❤
you DESERVE to be happy, healthy and wanting to care for you. I'm a stranger but I'm very happy for you and how well this medication has worked for you
I was literally watching D’Angelo’s Ozempic Video on the way to work. And now I’ve just gotten into bed and Hasan’s video of D’Angelo’s video literally just popped up! Bookend day. I should play the lottery!
had this on as background noise while working on the garden, zoned in just at 23:20 to hear "y'know canadians still suffer from the top of the hour ad break right?" I died laughing.
Depression eating really is something supernatural, im generally chronically underweight and somehow a bout of severe depression still had me gaining weight despite the industrial quantities of adderall being used to maintain even basic functioning. Gave me perspective for sure, for people who deal with that regularly i entirely understand how it could become a serious problem quick
@@therideneverends1697 as someone who gets pretty depressed every few months and isnt medicated im always in a cycle of dieting and then losing my mind and then dieting again, maybe itl ease off as i get older lol
@@noahleach7690 Thats the odd thing, im prone to those swings and cycles and have been my entire life, that was the only one that came with the eating thing and it was one of the worst ones. usually the solution is just "apply Adderall in increasing dosage untill desired result is achieved" which is might i add, still not feeling good, and it should speak to how bad the episodes can get where the daily quantity in one of those episodes required to ride it out can get really rather obscene to just be able to poorly pull off daily tasks long enough to ride it out, but that particular one it was like i couldent be motivated to do literally anything other than eat but couldent go through the process of makeing food. so it just ended up this wierd process of eating but never actually feeling satisfied until the episode wore off and had me looking like a bloated alcoholic for a week on account of the wierd carb craveings putting my beer intake into the stratosphere. I have no idea why that episode was like that but i dont want to repeat it. Normally my episodes involve me getting too skinny because i wont eat simply because my motivation becomes nonexistent to the point finding and eating food seems an impossible task, so this was the total opposite. During a bad one i can loose 4-8 pounds in a week, this one i gained 10
What people don't get about weight loss, especially for women as common conditions like PCOS often cause obesity, is hormones play a HUGE role in your ability to lose weight - and maintaining balanced hormones can require several doctors appointments, blood tests, prescriptions, recommended over the counter supplements, etc. And that all requires money that a lot of people just don't have. Yeah, you can eat less and exercise more, but when your weight wasn't even caused by over eating and lack of exercise but bc of unbalanced hormones - it can do almost nothing. Moral of the story, get you hormones checked if you can, it's more important than you think.
YES. Long haul covid, ménopause, being disabled with pots and more, I was doomed and didn't know. In 18 months my body was completely transformed and it caused my idiopathic intracranial hyper pressure to get so bad that I was losing sight. This is kinda getting me mad. It saved my life.
someone in the comments above you said that they actually DO prescribe insulin controlling diabetes drugs for PCOS so this could actually be exactly what they need. lol
I tried to get it (ozempic) through my insurance but I needed to be diabetic. I'm doing it naturally at the gym. That way works the best for me financially 😂
@@CharlieMartini666 the problem here is the lack of health insurance for most people. I get off label medication for my condition and my health insurance (EU) pays for it fully.
Leftism is going to inevitably force people...to be healthy...to work...to live in a certain spot....it's all you people are ever talking about. Perfect Health, capital H, of the State, capital S.
Ozempic can cause gastroparesis which can cause malnutrition before it gets you into the healthy weight bmi - which is a shitty measure to begin with. Also, if you look into the science a bit - obesity isn't nearly as dangerous as yoyo dieting or marginalization based on fat phobia or even just being sedentary... or at least a direct causal link is less evidenced.
Lmao same! That was about 7 years ago for me, but after I got help I gained about 20kg back and I've been around that weight since and I'm ok with that. Hope you're doing better
1:01:09 about 10 years ago I had a three week period where I had a ton of free time. I was listening to the audiobook for Born To Run and was inspired by but I hate running so I decided to walk. I walked the equivalent of a marathon or more every day for three weeks and lost 13 pounds. If you have the time and a comfortable pair of shoes, walking can be very powerful.
Ya people were saying the same thing for Adderall and similar meds. Like “it’s over prescribed” was the lazy answer While the fda (or who ever) had it capped as a controlled substance and were not expanding the cap fast enough. Like we know where the bottle neck is it’s from production. But ya let’s blame people needing the drug 🙃 do some people take it who don’t need it yes of course, does that make them the root of a severe scarcity market. No!
@@Just-in-Spenc yeah over prescription is an issue but there are other issues so lets ignore that issue. and saying its over prescribed to people that dont need the drug is for sure blaming people that need the drug i totally get you.
The caption about skinny people not wanting to lose an advantage. That's that protection of privilege instinct. Excellent observation, that was a bit of a eureka for my skinny self
Makes sense since it's tied to insulin. I was among the first minors to get the diabetes medication metformin for PCOS, I took it for 3 years and was effectively cured for 10 years after stopping. Some doctors struggled to believe I ever had it until I tell them it was diagnosed with an ultrasound because there was just 0 sign of ever having it. It finally started to come back recently, I'm 29, and I'm on a low dose of metformin again but yeah, I still have no idea what insulin meds have to do with my ovaries, especially because my blood sugar is all normal, but it works.
@@saber5408 They don't really understand why, or at least they didn't when I was diagnosed 13 years ago, but PCOS is tied to insulin in some way and is considered a risk factor for diabetes as well. The diabetes pill metformin also is used, that's what they gave me. Edit: I double checked online. Apparently they know now! PCOS causes insulin insensitivity which the body tries to fix by raising testosterone levels. Guess they figured out *why* it works since I was diagnosed. They didn't used to know, they just gave it to you anyway.
Celebs and the “Chelsea handlers” of the world may not be the majority of ozempic takers but they usually get first priority, they can afford it, and they’re consistently taking it away from others who actually need it.
I know at least 3 working class people who take ozempic and are not fat. Granted, I live in NYC but I think Hasan is missing the point that it's a fad and so yes, there are people (not just celebs) who are abusing it and therefore are taking it away from people who need life saving medication. Idc if it's 40,000 or 100,000. That's essential medication. Like what are we even talking about. Not even considering how many folks with eds & body dysmorphia probably depend on it w/o proper therapy treatments. It's a problem.
@@seabass8154 yes obviously and it needs to be fixed thats why people are pointing it out. idk why hasan was just brushing it off as if its not an issue he says "40 thousand hollywood celebs and people living in LA are doing it" as if 40 thousand not overweight people being prescribed a medicine for overweight ppl (etc.) isnt an issue. also i think we can all assume that if 40 thousand celebs are doing it, then a lot of regular civilians are going to be influenced to do it too. I think maybe he was too focused on the people saying that overweight people shouldnt take it and got the two confused idk but its definitely an issue that exists, is definitely affecting people who actually need it, and definitely needs to be fixed.
People are judgmental because they really don't like having a rule or method shoved down their throat for their entire life and then realize somebody found an easier way to accomplish the same. Hey, if you lost 40-50 kilograms and stopped being obese by the "just say no" method for food, I salute your superior self-discipline. But why should being skinny be a reward for remarkable self-discipline when most skinny people are just born naturally skinny anyway??
I've lost 180lbs without those medications & the food noise has NEVER gone away. I'm at a healthy BMI now so I could never get it but I'd do anything to get rid of food noise like Ozempic does. I'm so jealous of that
if you dont mind sharing - what does food noise mean exactly? its just the first I've heard the phrase used. It sounds like a similar craving/trigger for addiction, which is completely valid! I just want to make sure I'm understanding the terminology properly
yeah, i lost 120 pounds and for the rest of my life i have to control my weight to not gain it back. "eating naturally" is not a thing for me. I'm using intermitted fasting for years so i'm used to not eat for 16, 20 or 24 hours, but the amount of time i spend with thinking about food is ridiculous. I can't buy a lot of stuff because it's only available in large quantities and my mind will circle around it until i eat all of it in 5 minutes. Sex drive is a joke compared to that. I would pay a lot for a drug shutting that down and i would pay a fortune for a drug that lets me eat everything without gaining weight ;) It's not even emotional eating, i'm healthy, happy, i don't have any problems or issues, everything is great, but i'm obsessed with food. Reminds me of our dog, he is also laser focussed on everything food related. I mean, considering all the challenges life can throw at you, it could be much worse and losing weight without those drugs was not that hard at the end either (it is way easier with them though so a part of me despises them ;) ), but man, i would love to free up that headspace.
@@katcrowfrom what I understand it’s as you describe it. I’ve had that overwhelming craving for a specific kind of food before. It’s bordering on a disorder.
@@katcrow thank you so much 🩷 food noise for me is the constant thought of food. Not simply a craving. Eating & then thinking about your next meal immediately. You know how you'll think "I'll have chicken for dinner later" & move on? Now imagine planning then & then it's all you can think of till dinner. It's like a constant buzz in your brain
If you're obese and your doctor prescribes ozempic, this is an off label diagnosis, meaning the drug is not approved to treat that diagnosis. Regulations prevent us from manufacturing a bunch of drugs for an illness the drug isn't approved to treat. They had to reclassify it under a new name approved for obesity to be able to manufacture stock for obesity treatment. The drug shortage is the fault of off label prescribing.
THANK YOU. listening to hasan ramble on about god knows what just not informed at all yelling at chat is infuriating. they presented it to the FDA as a blood sugar med for diabetics and when they promoted it to doctors via reps they said oh also it has a side effect of knocking off 15 pounds really easily so if you have any patients who need to loose some weight it can do that too. they promoted it for something it was not labled or regulated for, it also can paralyze your fucking stomach nerves permanently so there is that
One of the most effective things I've done for weight loss is forcing myself to bike as much as possible to work. Car brain and infrastructure has absolutely contributed to the obesity epidemic
I just started walking to and from work a few days a week and I’m hoping it will help me lose weight, I work a lot and forget to exercise at home so if I force myself to walk somewhere that I absolutely have to be then it makes things easier
Yeah I would love to walk more but where I live I can't safely, one walking alone isn't always safe, two it hards to walk, with so many crosswalks and points where it just ends, the crosswalks are unsafe because people not paying attention, ive almost been run over a few times. If I wasn't being aware I could've been killed or hurt. It sucks
Off label prescriptions are sooo common, I take a blood pressure medication to manage my tachycardia because a side effect is that it decreases heart rate.
Even here in Denmark, theres a shortage. 20% percent of my regular ppl coworkers are taking ozempic for weightloss. Most of them are taking it to lose around 10-30 lbs. Meanwhile, my 2 diabetic colleagues who have also been prescribed it, can't get any. I also disagree with Hasan about how obese people 'need' ozempic. For obese people ozempic is a drug that improves outcomes through weight loss, but for diabetics ozempic not only improves outcomes through weight loss but also helps them manage their bloodsugar more effectively and reduces the risk adverse outcomes. As a side note, we've also noticed vast difference in the quality of the information given, with regards to side effects and how you stay healthy while taking ozempic, depending on the context in which it is prescribed.
Something important to note is that I’ve heard from some ppl is that for them, it’s supposed to be taken in conjunction with insulin which can make you hungry? So it balances out with ozempic which suppresses it and can make it a normal level instead of leaving you super hungry or with no appetite
This is why they are now producing versions that are made specifically for weight loss and not diabetes. As production on those increase, the off label use of ozempic will decrease drastically. Also, whether someone needs a drug or not is the professional opinion of their doctor and not you. Most people can not get this prescribed unless their doctor think they need it.
YES, i’m so tired of the “only Americans are fat” or “Europeans are all thin” narrative. Actually, about half of every population is fat, across Europe and everywhere. It is 40-60% it’s 40 in skinnier places and 60 in unhealthy places, but it’s consistently the same, that is not a hugely substantial difference, you are going to find big people everywhere commonly. Obesity levels differ but even the US is not even the top three most obese countries. They are in the Pacific islands. also the shortage is so real it was annoying how hasan denied it. n i agree people with diabetes could die :( i feel like no one cares or downplays…
I think one major thing hasan is missing is, ozempic is not needed at all for obesity. Other rich countries dont have anywhere close to same obesity issue and don't use that drug. It was causing shortages for diabetics (for whatever specific reason) and the obesity issue is due to american food culture (especially lack of sugar regulation) and car dependency. Would be a lot safer for people to give them walkable areas and healthier food countrywide than to make everyone dependent on ANOTHER drug.
Yeah except people can't force the government to fix any of those things, but they can take a medication to help themselves. Sure all that would help tremendously, but when will it happen here?
He pretty clearly has friends who use it and that's why he's beating around the bush so much. Like there's otherwise no reasoning for how this is such a blind spot.
The worst part in my opinion is that all the people abusing ozempic could just as easily afford a personal trainer, healthy foods, even home gym equipment if they wanted to. It’s like they were already living on recruit difficulty but still felt the need to install hacks.
I’m a “skinny” guy but my relationship with food is far from healthy. I literally cannot force myself to eat food. I’ll make a massive meal as I’m trying to gain weight and muscle but after a bite I start to feel nauseous and have to stop. Often times it’s the first meal and I just don’t get hungry. It fucking sucks especially when others see it as a positive
I experience this some days, but if I don't eat enough protein, the next day or two, I feel empty no matter how much I eat. It's a weird cycle to be stuck in and if you happen to be fat, people won't believe you that the issue starts with a lack of an appetite.
@@LiveType i have chronic gastrointestinal issues that ive never been to the doctor for and ive struggled with appetite issues my whole life because of this. When I was growing up i was skin & bone i was extremely malnourished and i just couldnt bring myself to eat and if i did i would throw it back up a lot of the time. And i'd say I was getting maybe about half of what you were (so 750 cal) on a better day. A lack of appetite and malnutrition as a result is absolutely not only what you described bro. You say with cravings you cant focus on anything well guess what bro malnutrition gives you incredible brain fog getting worse depending on your lvl. also depending on your kind of lack of appetite, you could absolutely still have stomach cramps and hunger which the pain absolutely causes a lack of focus. Idk if food cravings are worse than a lack of appetite but the reasonings you gave specifically are not worse but are rather comparable. Also if you're underweight and trying to gain weight but cant then a lot of your focus can also be on what you're going to eat and on meal planning so irdk what ur trying to get at. Also I don't want to hear about "oh but yours is medical" because what you're describing of "never ending cravings" also sounds very medical, and yes there are different kinds of "a lack of appetite".
@@LiveType honestly bottom line what im trying to say is i think theres a lot of misconceptions about what its like having a lack of appetite/being malnourished and theres a lot of misconceptions about what its like having an overabundance of appetite/being overweight and i think its weird to try to play the game of "oh but ones better than the other" because in reality both have a lot of similarities and cause a lot of the same issues in the long run (a common one being heart disease) i think its weird trying to play up one to bring down the other or saying one is "preferrable" because thats what a lot of people tell ppl like me and its very hurtful all ur doing is invalidating the experience of people like me. like you could've said what you said just without the part about "oh but its preferrable" you feel me?
My dad is on ozempic for diabetes. It's going really well. He is encouraging me to try it because I have persistent weight issues... I think it might be a good idea. I don't blame people in Hollywood for using it - if you're gonna make yourself under-eat for a job, you might as well take a drug that makes you feel less shitty while you do it. (edit: But just to be clear, people who are already healthy and average weight probably should just try to live with their bodies as they are 😅) And believe me, I've tried regulating my damn food. I've gone months eating various restrictive diets, and I have lost weight, but each time I try again it gets harder and harder to cut calories. One time I was eating more lettuce than anything for months until a switch flipped in my brain and I just got completely disgusted at the sight of it... Like, to be clear, I'm sure if somebody fed me 1600 calories per day and I had no other access to food, I'd be fairly comfortable and slowly lose weight, but it's just not that easy to emulate when you're an adult who can make your own decisions and gets peckish a million times per day. The good thing about Ozempic, from my father's recommendation, is that it just stops you wanting to eat constantly. I've always been jealous of people who have that particular gift...
Yeah I’ve always had a huge appetite and the only reason I grew up slim was because I was in sports year round. Once I hit college I realized I could no longer keep weight down because I wasn’t active. After college I put myself on a strict diet on 1700 calories and worked out and lost 30 lbs. but after some years of back to back experiences and depression I went back to emotional eating and gained 50 lbs. I was on adderall for adhd and surprisingly that curbed my appetite a bit and gave me energy to where I was motivated to workout again. Lost 15 lbs. It’s a lifelong challenge and sometimes meds unintentionally help.
Be careful cutting calories, you can kill your metabolism. I was eating between 800 - 1000 calories a day while breastfeeding a baby and ended up gaining a ton of weight rapidly instead of losing any. Years later I still couldn't over eat if I tried. I'm lucky if I get up to 1500 calories a day and the only thing I have accomplished is stabilizing my weight. Doesn't seem like it's ever going to go down though. Keep in mind I have health issues at play in all this, but the fact still stands that extreme calorie cutting and yoyo dieting can screw your metabolism up something awful.
Hasan is wrong on this one. I’m a nurse in ATL…if you can dish out atleast $200-$300 a month…you can get ozempic…there’s a shortage. My father who is a diabetic was not able to get his semiglutide for 2 months before and had to switch between 3 diff ones because of this weight loss craze 🤷🏽♀️ it’s being over prescribed.
the concerning thing about all political internet personalities or media personalities in general is how confidently all of them will assert something and unless you really actually know about the topic it would be so convincing. The fact he cant even entertain the idea he is wrong says enough, and im a fan of his content usually.
That is not called “over prescribed.” It means the supply doesn’t meet the demand so there’s a **shortage**. Ozempic being used for weight loss isn’t necessarily a bad thing… In fact it (brand name wegovy) is approved for treating obesity.
i don't know why people seem to think that hollywood weight loss trends start and stop with hollywood, as if non-celebrities aren't constantly looking toward hollywood diets to figure out how to approach their own weight loss regimen. americans lived through the tabloid era -- it should be self-evident the effect hollywood trends have on dieting culture writ large.
💯 they’re literally called trendsetters. well, it’s a trend. not just for morbid mindy, everyone. women who are 20lbs overweight have been called fat their whole lives so they’re going to feel obese and do whatever to “finally lose that extra weight.”
My diabetic grandmother was literally looking for ozempic for weeks because every pharmacy was sold out. I think people who need it should have access to it, if the health care system in the US was better it wouldn’t even be an issue
I wanna try it because the only way ive been able to lose weight is to starve myself or eat like max 800 calories a day, ive always been overweight since i was fucking born lol. Doctors constantly making me and my parents aware i was over the curve on weight while under the curve on height whike growing up and ive never managed to get to a lower BMI than "overweight" category, i literally cant. While my friends shove 3 plates full of food for lunch, eat chocolate cereal and jelly on white bread and candy and chips every day and stay in the "underweight" category... if i look at their food i gain 47482928 punds
huh. i used to have this theory that fat babies always end up skinny, (and vice versa?) cause all the skinniest ppl i know ended up skinny but were big babies. were you maybe obese like dangerously overweight for a baby? I’m not sure that’sa thing i thought all fat babies were adorable and healthy, even the 14lb one🥺 i was a fat baby. but not above the curve so not dangerous. i think maybe being shorter could be a big part, all those skinny-fat babies ended up tall. Is there such a thing as a short baby? I didn’t even know this either lol. i thought they were just supposed to tell the mom “it’s perfect, everything’s normal” to not worry, how cruel!
There's nothing wrong with medical intervention when it's needed. But, that being said, I personally wouldn't take a GLP-1 strictly for weight loss because of the potential adverse events not to mention Ozempic, and Mounjaro are for diabetes specifically and people with diabetes need those medications. If you are considering using a GLP-1 for weight loss there are ones specifically indicated for weight loss with the same active ingredient (those medications are Wegovy and Zepbound) and other weight loss medications that aren't GLP-1 (Saxenda, Contrave, and Phentermine) that diabetic people do not take. If you do need medical intervention for weight loss then ask your prescriber about those because to my knowledge those 5 I listed are not for diabetes so diabetics can still receive their medications.
Okay random weight loss rant. I and two other friends who were overweight decided that we needed to lose weight last year & started focusing on that. I'm 154 cm. I was at 80 kgs in march 2023 & now I'm at 61 kg in April 2024. I've still not reached my target weight so my journey is ongoing. However, my friends haven't even seen a 1kg reduction over the entire year. They obsess about portions, calories & excercise wayyy more than I do. They are constantly talking about how they want to lose weight etc but with absolutely zero progress. They keep asking me how I did it and I tell them the same stuff each time. I tried helping them with meal plans etc and nothing works. I realised that they actually just obsess about their weight so much that they end up sabotaging themselves. I eat more than them & I'm still losing weight! What I've realised is that don't go too crazy. Be kind and charitable to yourself & don't aim for unrealistic goals like 5kgs a month as soon as you start out. Losing 10 kgs over a year is better than trying to lose weight in a month, releasing & then going back to square one. Patience is the key. I was losing 1 kg per week in the beginning. Now at 61 kgs, my progress is much more slower but that's just how it works. It took me 3 months to lose 10 kgs & the 9 months to lose 9 kgs after that. Progress becomes slower but consistency is key. Have achievable targets. Doing all the stuff celebrities or fitness influencers do isn't sustainable for most of us with regular lives. That's their job, they can do all that. We can't. Not to mention, fitness influencers look good but keep in mind that having a chiselled bidy doesn't mean they're healthier. Fat is there in our body for a reason. Super low fat percentage is actually unhealthy. Be realistic. Aim for long term changes instead of having the mindset that you'll go back to how it was once you achieve your dream body. Also, when excercising, think about getting stronger instead of losing weight. It makes the process so much easier. I really fell in love with excercising when one day my dad asked me to open a jar for him. I was like "woah wait this is awesome!" and now everytime I excercise I'm thinking about how much stronger I'm getting. I even started martial arts at the big age of 27 because now I genuinely enjoy excercising and feeling stronger. Anyway, slow and steady wins the race. Just start making progress. Even if it is 1 kg in a month. Something is always better than nothing. Edit: I'm not saying this is something that works for everyone. I'm just saying that if you're in a similar situation as my friends, where you end up self sabotaging, maybe taking a step back and changing your approach would be a good start. Again, there is no one glove fits all. If nothing seems to work, it's best to seek help from a professional if you have the finances for it.
I have my own ozempic at home called black coffee (no sugar). Without it, i don't think I could handle hunger and craving during lunch time and mornings. With a planned diet and at least 2 hrs of daily walk i was able to lose from 3/4 to 2lbs weekly to a total of 90lbs in 2 years, depending on the calorie deficit. Laws of thermodynamics is matter can not be created or destroyed therefore calories in calories out. NOW as Hasan said yes everyone has different genetics and everyone has a different BMR despite having the similar physical attributes. Weather you want to do cardio or resistance training, diet is by far the most important factor. And it is your job to find your real BMR don't use on-line calculators those are not accurate at all. Log every single calorie that you consume and weight yourself over several weeks and you should be able to find your BMR. Also i dont trust ozempic it is being sold off as the opiods pills during the early 2000. And see how that turned out when opiods were prescribed as candy. 😑😑
so many of the comments on the OG video feel like they’re solely blaming “greedy” “lazy” non-celebrity fat people wanting a “quick fix” for diabetics not being able to get their life-saving medicine from their pharmacies and it just feels like they’re missing a big chunk of what D’Angelo is saying
I went from 240 to 160 over the course of 2021-2022. Been between 140-150 for the past year and feel great. Find workouts that you have fun doing and you'll actually do it more often.
27:07 in 2017-2018 i lost 7-10 lbs per month for several months and kept it off. For me it was a dramatic stress reduction that caused it, then I started cooking for myself more and walking daily. One person asked me if I had a gastric bypass. I'm sure that if it had happened a few years later everybody would have assumed I did ozempic.
I’m confused when they say it leaves you feeling full longer, do they mean cravings? Cause usually if I am eating something I don’t need it is because I’m bored or I know I’ll just enjoy it.. not because I’m actually hungry lol
You know the feeling when you’re so full you can’t take another bite.. even if you’re bored or just bc you wanna taste food.. that’s what they mean by “ full “. There is literally no interest in food whatsoever.
some people don't feel full even if they eat slowly, balanced meals and don't binge. like the video stated it is likely due to hormonal imbalance and therefore leading to obesity. sometimes it also can come from large stomachs or other health complications.
it essentially provides your digestive system with the things it needs to feel full! so if youre someone who struggles with over eating/understanding when you feel full. For that reason its better used for people struggling with diabetes/severe obesity. But if you find yourself eating due to boredom or to feel good - it may be something you do for comfort when feeling stressed/distressed. Eating tasty stuff gives us a lot of dopamine! So its often something the body will crave when you're feeling bored or seeking other comforts. If you're struggling to distinguish hunger from desire to eat unrelated to hunger, I suggest seeking medical advice or doing further research
@@katcrow oooh okay, yeah I understand overeating but I have ADHD and have struggled with addiction my entire so for me it’s always the sweet treats and the lack of impulse control lol. But I’ve never considered that hunger, like if im hungry I will make myself standard food but the other 90% of the time my brain is like “nomnomnom I just need some lil dopamine boosters to finish my chores” and so I didn’t know if that’s what other people struggled with or if they actually felt like they could never get full. That makes sense though I appreciate the explanation:)
i heard people say “i can drink a glass of water but if i eat more than that i want tothrow up.” so, it’s like that. you feel sickened and neasous from more food, which is also why so many can’t keep down human portions but only water and a bite of something… also it WILL make you throw up apparently if you do go for more, so you’d have to be a huge huge overeater.
hasans answer to weight loss at the beginning was the most libbed up thing i’ve ever heard him say lolll no that wouldn’t fix the issue 🤦🏽♂️ isn’t this the whole point hasan lmaoooo
My only concern is how it appears to act on the motivational pathways of the brain in a way we dont entirely understand, Not saying that makes it bad or evil, but we shouldent just view it as the magical solution and hand it out with ease it should be handled with a bit more caution until we understand its functions on 5HT and TAAR-1 receptors better
27:10 (Out of the dozens I’ve read) I’ve never heard of someone who didn’t lose 10-20lbs in one week on Oz. That’s the problem. All the testimonials I saw women lost 20-50lbs in one month and were over the moon about only being able to hold down a glass of water all day…. comments were congratulatory and excited (to try it next), never alarmed.
My aunt got to the point where she was so morbidly obese that exercising was a risk for her heart. She's been using ozempic and going through lifestyle changes; now she's at a point where she's exercising, eating better and still losing weight after going off ozempic. She can actually go for hour long walks now. My point is that people don't realize that exercise and dieting alone isn't an option for some people who are really far gone. Yes, dieting works but its usually not that helpful without exercise. After seeing how much my aunt's life changed for the better, I don't think it's that bad for ozempic to become a weight loss medicine for obese people. I don't understand why people are unsympathetic, that's so crazy to me.
2300 calories being the average meal at Applebee's can't be true. I mean, thats what you're supposed to eat a day. unless you do like physical labor of course.
@@monicarenee7949 I think you're right. Most entrees are somewhere between 1000 and 1400 calories. I'd be freaked out if I could eat more than half an entree.
It’s funny when it f’s with capitalism 😂😂😂 “ weight watchers stock…Walmart decrease in food sales…Norway’s economy boost…” 😂😂😂 damn, this is America! By the way, Where can I get me some? 🤣🤣🤣
I have been taking ozempic for 2 years. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and leptin imbalance which means I am always hungry. With the use, I am no longer prediabetic
I think it’s interesting that Phillip DeFranco and Ethan both lost a ton of weight near the beginning of ozempic. I do know that they were trying to loose weight already but they didn’t get anywhere near the results until ozempic was out and now Phil is using his weight loss as a selling point for his advertisements
I write this as someone who has been on an obscene dose of antidepressants for about half a decade - ozempic is to those struggling wifh obesity what prozac is to those of us with chronic depression. My issue with both of them is the same. My mental health could be vastly improved if both our society and our economic system were structured in a kinder and more ethical way. It wouldn't cure me of a genetic predisposition, but it would go a long way to alleviating the symptoms to the point where I may be able to live a fulfilling life without medication. These drugs therefore become a catch-22 - you need them to make life bearable, but by taking them our society and economic leaders are relieved of all responsibility for their role in the exacerbation of what is otherwise could be a very manageable condition and lose the last remaining vestige of pressure or motivation to change. Am I angry with myself or my compatriots for taking prozac? Fuck no. Am I angry with people taking Ozempic? Again, fuck no. I'm angry that capitalism has once again found a way of financialising the very same health that it strips us all of every day of our existence
Even when applied to socialised medicine, the same point applies. Free prescriptions operating inside a capitalist economy (in these cases) just allows the market to continue abusing consumers with products and material conditions that make us sicker whilst the state picks up the bill in an entirely imperfect way for a problem that originated within the market in the first place
I was offered ozempic by my doctor and I declined. I've been morbidly obese since I was very young and would greatly benefit from it, but I felt really bad that I might be taking meds away from diabetics who legitimatly need it to survive. Wish it could be more widely available so I can take it guilt free, since I have trouble losing weight even with very restricted eating and regular exercise
I’d consider taking it to treat morbid obesity as life saving prescription. It’s a chronic illness that leads to more chronic illnesses down the line… if you get diabetes (very likely) you’ll end up needing it anyway down the line. I think you should do what is best for you if you think it will help.
seconded ^ esp if you’re pre-diabetic! if not take the kinds specifically designed only for weight loss, mentioned here and in the comments and you could probably look it up to be sure :) diabetics don’t take that one so no shortage for them! very kind and considerate of you but you can totally take it the right way now. good luck!
I’m an ER nurse. Ozempic is not dangerous and can be good in certain conditions. I have seen it being abused, but if taken correctly and helping you regulate your diet, then go for it.
Watching this while slurping down a desert felt weird ,:D Thank god I live in a walkable city so I have the opportunity to walk it off on my way to get groceries later. No shame for anyone using whatever method works for them as long as they know what they're doing The idea that I sitting on my ass all day am somehow supposed to be morally superior to and somehow more deserving of my skinnyness than my overweight friend that sends updates on their daily hikes and fitness routine is so idiotic
As a former wrestler i basically have anorexia i can turn on and off. I have sympathy for people that don't have self control when it comes to eating, it was basically dilled into me since i was a kid. I will say that overeating isn't nearly as dangerous or morally reprehensible as some other coping mechanisms and guilty pleasures.
i have a disability and chronic illness called ankylosing spondylitis and i also now have arthritis in all of my joints as a result of that :[ I loose alot of weight because my body needs alot of energy because of the illness. It really sucks and i really hope i can gain healthy weight, im trying my best by eating more frequently and doing some exercises that are okay for my body. is hard life pray for me XD
oh man im sorry to hear that. i remember very vividly when i was 18 or so and started having really bad back problems i had a xray and the GP thuoght i had anklyosing spondylitis and the month between them and getting a MRI to show it was just a disc with facet anthropothy. But anklyosing spondylitis is no joke.
Nah there really is a shortage. It’s more than Hollywood taking it to lose a quick 5 -10 and has become trendy. It has gotten slightly better but every time I have to refill it’s not available. At one point my doctor had to switch me to another med that didn’t work as well. Also, I wish it made me lose weight but at least it lowers my A1C. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm genuinely asking, do you think the excessive purchasing of the drug in hollywood by people who WANT it for vanity related reasons doesnt relate to the shortage overall that effects people who NEED it for health reasons? if there are people who can buy it out of pocket bc they feel like it, it will leave less for people who have to go through a lengthy process via insurance to get the med approved at all
My father is on ozempic for diabetes-he loves it. My bf is a firefighter who has been really struggling with recent weight gain as a result of stress and sleep deprivation. He used to be very active and fit, but after working full time and doing full time paramedic school and clinicals, his lifestyle choices dipped pretty hard. It doesn’t help that he has a very unhealthy relationship with food, I would love to look into both therapy for his relationship with food and ozempic for him-it’s just a huge concern for when he’s on scene with a fire as well. And bc of the extra weight, he’s even more exhausted and depressed-even if he just gets on ozempic for a bit to lose some weight so he could have the energy again to go to the gym between his 24 hour shifts…. It’s something to consider
Thyroid fine. Cortisol fine. Have a PT. Work out lift/cardio. Log what I eat. Can't lose weight. I'm thiiiiiiis close to getting a prescription. Idgaf about fat phobia. I hate myself for being chubby and I KNOW society does too.
i have a friend who is now struggling with an eating disorder after being suggested this medication by a spa- to lose 20 lbs at 20yrs old it is definitely being over prescribed by unprofessionals this is ct and she was average size stg it doesn’t go to people who need it. it goes to people willing to do anything to not be fat. not everyone is on it but too many people take it and we don’t know what will happen when this is regulated and people who don’t need it get cut off🙃
You’re not meant to drink on Ozempic, but also, there might be a clause in her Jenny contract that prohibits it (because bad PR if it gets out that she dropped weight because of drugs and not the program). Not that she’s good PR now, but ya know …
The problems associated with obesity seem like they might be worse than the drug, so I'm all for people taking it. Just need better healthcare (universal) and regulation around it as far pricing is concerned.
There are so many better ways that the US government should implement to reduce Obesity, rather than for profit medication sold to the highest bidder rather than given to those who need it the most. Obesity would greatly reduce in any country with: - Nationalised healthcare and even pharmaceuticals - Walkable cities and public transport - Actual food and water regulations (including safe clean tap water) - more extra curricular activities for schools
Your chat has no idea how obesity works, man😂 I have hormonal imbalances and loosing weight is horrifyingly hard for me. On top of that the medications that I am taking to keep my hormones in check messes with my health and makes me gain weight. I am on a clean diet and trying everything to loose weight but it is SUPER HARD. 😅

D'Angelo is great! I don't go for commentary stuff like most of their channels, but when a deep dive video like this one drops, I always enjoy it
@@Evelyn_Okay yes afaik he deleted that video. there are reaction videos of it online though.
many have tried to cancel Shane Dawson before (rightfully so) but Wallace comprised so much information in one video and posted it at the exact right time.
it genuinely changed a lot of people's minds on Shane Dawson.

that is a structural problem and some people literally can't wait until the government fixed those issues.
i am very much lacking exercise and healthy food, but i live in small town germany, so i literally walk everywhere everyday, that and my amphetamine addiction keeps me below my ideal weight.

@@mistercarousel1872 what would we do without it
There's no way American cities are that un-walkable, right? I mean, if there's sidewalks, it's walkable?
My problem with ozempic is the fact that it costs $5 to make, and they charge $1k+ for it in the US
Haven't seen D'Angelo Wallace in a while but damn the long hair looks amazing.

If they did you wouldn't have a job lol
@@JStack being a pharmacist is more than what you think it is.
@@JStacka pharmacist isn’t there to tell you what to take lol
Somehow that doesn't surprise me a ton. The only reason that I know anything about the medications prescribed to me is because I practically interrogate my doctor each time. Every doctor I've had writes the prescription super quick, and is then surprised when I actually ask about it. I think most people are content with a doctor saying "here, take this, it'll help", they rarely feel the need to ask "help what? help how? with what side effects? how will this interact with my binge drinking?", etc.
@@yeah-sn7jv exactly we are here if you have the questions and often times will ask if you do? The only forced counseling on a drug is when there is an interaction with another med that can literally kill you. At least from a retail pharmacy in MD
From ozempic and now mounjaro, I’ve lost 45lbs in 6 months, with only 8 to go to be “normal weight”. My liver enzymes, blood pressure, and A1c are back to normal. I can walk endlessly without being out of breath and I can recognize my self in a mirror. I’m now also not an alcoholic or shopaholic. I went off of them for 5 months and didn’t gain it back. Granted I gained the 60lbs in a short amount of time prior and never was overweight before that, so I have a unique experience. It also encouraged me more to take care of myself. I’m just so grateful. I will say the constipation and fatigue was WICKED for ozempic. Mounjaro had less side effects and somehow worked better.
congratulations!
I have family on mounjaro and they’ve all said the side effects are also less severe. Also, congratulations! Being able to better yourself is always great ❤
you DESERVE to be happy, healthy and wanting to care for you. I'm a stranger but I'm very happy for you and how well this medication has worked for you
im a rn, ozempic fks with your liver and can give cancer.
Great bro.
I was literally watching D’Angelo’s Ozempic Video on the way to work.
And now I’ve just gotten into bed and Hasan’s video of D’Angelo’s video literally just popped up!
Bookend day.
I should play the lottery!
Same with me, what a wonderful day!
Wholesome 🫶🏾
Sounds like you played the algorithm lottery
Oh my god, it's D'Angelo!!! Haven't seen him in awhile since he had shorter hair. The glow up is NUTS!
had this on as background noise while working on the garden, zoned in just at 23:20 to hear "y'know canadians still suffer from the top of the hour ad break right?" I died laughing.
my emotional eating would kick ozempic's ass
real
Fuxkin' this.
Depression eating really is something supernatural, im generally chronically underweight and somehow a bout of severe depression still had me gaining weight despite the industrial quantities of adderall being used to maintain even basic functioning.
Gave me perspective for sure, for people who deal with that regularly i entirely understand how it could become a serious problem quick
@@therideneverends1697 as someone who gets pretty depressed every few months and isnt medicated im always in a cycle of dieting and then losing my mind and then dieting again, maybe itl ease off as i get older lol
@@noahleach7690 Thats the odd thing, im prone to those swings and cycles and have been my entire life, that was the only one that came with the eating thing and it was one of the worst ones.
usually the solution is just "apply Adderall in increasing dosage untill desired result is achieved" which is might i add, still not feeling good, and it should speak to how bad the episodes can get where the daily quantity in one of those episodes required to ride it out can get really rather obscene to just be able to poorly pull off daily tasks long enough to ride it out, but that particular one it was like i couldent be motivated to do literally anything other than eat but couldent go through the process of makeing food.
so it just ended up this wierd process of eating but never actually feeling satisfied until the episode wore off and had me looking like a bloated alcoholic for a week on account of the wierd carb craveings putting my beer intake into the stratosphere.
I have no idea why that episode was like that but i dont want to repeat it. Normally my episodes involve me getting too skinny because i wont eat simply because my motivation becomes nonexistent to the point finding and eating food seems an impossible task, so this was the total opposite. During a bad one i can loose 4-8 pounds in a week, this one i gained 10
What people don't get about weight loss, especially for women as common conditions like PCOS often cause obesity, is hormones play a HUGE role in your ability to lose weight - and maintaining balanced hormones can require several doctors appointments, blood tests, prescriptions, recommended over the counter supplements, etc. And that all requires money that a lot of people just don't have. Yeah, you can eat less and exercise more, but when your weight wasn't even caused by over eating and lack of exercise but bc of unbalanced hormones - it can do almost nothing. Moral of the story, get you hormones checked if you can, it's more important than you think.
Thank you! It can be SO MUCH MORE than 'just eat less.' Especially for women.
YES. Long haul covid, ménopause, being disabled with pots and more, I was doomed and didn't know. In 18 months my body was completely transformed and it caused my idiopathic intracranial hyper pressure to get so bad that I was losing sight. This is kinda getting me mad. It saved my life.
someone in the comments above you said that they actually DO prescribe insulin controlling diabetes drugs for PCOS so this could actually be exactly what they need. lol
being morbidly obese is genuinely dangerous. I'm all for people fixing that wheter it is with medication or without. we all deserve to be healthy!
I tried to get it (ozempic) through my insurance but I needed to be diabetic. I'm doing it naturally at the gym. That way works the best for me financially 😂
@@CharlieMartini666 the problem here is the lack of health insurance for most people. I get off label medication for my condition and my health insurance (EU) pays for it fully.
Leftism is going to inevitably force people...to be healthy...to work...to live in a certain spot....it's all you people are ever talking about. Perfect Health, capital H, of the State, capital S.
Ozempic can cause gastroparesis which can cause malnutrition before it gets you into the healthy weight bmi - which is a shitty measure to begin with.
Also, if you look into the science a bit - obesity isn't nearly as dangerous as yoyo dieting or marginalization based on fat phobia or even just being sedentary... or at least a direct causal link is less evidenced.
Yeah but let’s stop acting old every plus size person is morbidly obese or like you understand their health just because you’re thinner
@hasanreactions, your bubbled comments are *hilarious*. "never heard of him but that's quite the zinger" made me cackle at 10pm.
Wtf are pounds ... I had to check... I lost 70kg in 12 months all it took was a crushing life experience and severe depression
Hope things are better now!
I wish my crushing depression made me stop eating instead of eating endlessly
People recreationally taking ozempic would unironically sign up for depression if it meant losing weight so you could be onto something
Pounds are 0.0346201 football fields per square kilometer per day. Hope this helps!
Lmao same! That was about 7 years ago for me, but after I got help I gained about 20kg back and I've been around that weight since and I'm ok with that.
Hope you're doing better
1:01:09 about 10 years ago I had a three week period where I had a ton of free time. I was listening to the audiobook for Born To Run and was inspired by but I hate running so I decided to walk. I walked the equivalent of a marathon or more every day for three weeks and lost 13 pounds. If you have the time and a comfortable pair of shoes, walking can be very powerful.
Yes! I just started walking to and from work a few days a week so I have no excuse to not get exercise in, I’m hoping it will help me lose some weight
The “overprescribed” was SUCH a good point. I never though about it like that.
Ya people were saying the same thing for Adderall and similar meds. Like “it’s over prescribed” was the lazy answer While the fda (or who ever) had it capped as a controlled substance and were not expanding the cap fast enough. Like we know where the bottle neck is it’s from production. But ya let’s blame people needing the drug 🙃 do some people take it who don’t need it yes of course, does that make them the root of a severe scarcity market. No!
@@Just-in-Spenc yeah over prescription is an issue but there are other issues so lets ignore that issue. and saying its over prescribed to people that dont need the drug is for sure blaming people that need the drug i totally get you.
The caption about skinny people not wanting to lose an advantage. That's that protection of privilege instinct. Excellent observation, that was a bit of a eureka for my skinny self
Ozempic is also used for women with PCOS.
I can Google it but if you happen to know...what does it do it for pcos?
everytime i see PCOS i think its someone who spelled People Of ColourS wrong xD
Makes sense since it's tied to insulin. I was among the first minors to get the diabetes medication metformin for PCOS, I took it for 3 years and was effectively cured for 10 years after stopping. Some doctors struggled to believe I ever had it until I tell them it was diagnosed with an ultrasound because there was just 0 sign of ever having it. It finally started to come back recently, I'm 29, and I'm on a low dose of metformin again but yeah, I still have no idea what insulin meds have to do with my ovaries, especially because my blood sugar is all normal, but it works.
@@saber5408 They don't really understand why, or at least they didn't when I was diagnosed 13 years ago, but PCOS is tied to insulin in some way and is considered a risk factor for diabetes as well. The diabetes pill metformin also is used, that's what they gave me.
Edit: I double checked online. Apparently they know now! PCOS causes insulin insensitivity which the body tries to fix by raising testosterone levels. Guess they figured out *why* it works since I was diagnosed. They didn't used to know, they just gave it to you anyway.
@@JoeyisDREADful oh wow, thanks that's actually really interesting
Celebs and the “Chelsea handlers” of the world may not be the majority of ozempic takers but they usually get first priority, they can afford it, and they’re consistently taking it away from others who actually need it.
I know at least 3 working class people who take ozempic and are not fat. Granted, I live in NYC but I think Hasan is missing the point that it's a fad and so yes, there are people (not just celebs) who are abusing it and therefore are taking it away from people who need life saving medication. Idc if it's 40,000 or 100,000. That's essential medication. Like what are we even talking about. Not even considering how many folks with eds & body dysmorphia probably depend on it w/o proper therapy treatments. It's a problem.
That's an issue with the medical system in general
@@seabass8154 yes obviously and it needs to be fixed thats why people are pointing it out. idk why hasan was just brushing it off as if its not an issue he says "40 thousand hollywood celebs and people living in LA are doing it" as if 40 thousand not overweight people being prescribed a medicine for overweight ppl (etc.) isnt an issue. also i think we can all assume that if 40 thousand celebs are doing it, then a lot of regular civilians are going to be influenced to do it too. I think maybe he was too focused on the people saying that overweight people shouldnt take it and got the two confused idk but its definitely an issue that exists, is definitely affecting people who actually need it, and definitely needs to be fixed.
People are judgmental because they really don't like having a rule or method shoved down their throat for their entire life and then realize somebody found an easier way to accomplish the same.
Hey, if you lost 40-50 kilograms and stopped being obese by the "just say no" method for food, I salute your superior self-discipline. But why should being skinny be a reward for remarkable self-discipline when most skinny people are just born naturally skinny anyway??
Except a lot of the people who are judgemental have never been obese in the first place. It's not just other fatties judging other fatties.
I've lost 180lbs without those medications & the food noise has NEVER gone away. I'm at a healthy BMI now so I could never get it but I'd do anything to get rid of food noise like Ozempic does. I'm so jealous of that
I’m on it and for me I still have food noise
if you dont mind sharing - what does food noise mean exactly? its just the first I've heard the phrase used. It sounds like a similar craving/trigger for addiction, which is completely valid! I just want to make sure I'm understanding the terminology properly
yeah, i lost 120 pounds and for the rest of my life i have to control my weight to not gain it back. "eating naturally" is not a thing for me. I'm using intermitted fasting for years so i'm used to not eat for 16, 20 or 24 hours, but the amount of time i spend with thinking about food is ridiculous. I can't buy a lot of stuff because it's only available in large quantities and my mind will circle around it until i eat all of it in 5 minutes. Sex drive is a joke compared to that. I would pay a lot for a drug shutting that down and i would pay a fortune for a drug that lets me eat everything without gaining weight ;) It's not even emotional eating, i'm healthy, happy, i don't have any problems or issues, everything is great, but i'm obsessed with food. Reminds me of our dog, he is also laser focussed on everything food related.
I mean, considering all the challenges life can throw at you, it could be much worse and losing weight without those drugs was not that hard at the end either (it is way easier with them though so a part of me despises them ;) ), but man, i would love to free up that headspace.
@@katcrowfrom what I understand it’s as you describe it. I’ve had that overwhelming craving for a specific kind of food before. It’s bordering on a disorder.
@@katcrow thank you so much 🩷 food noise for me is the constant thought of food. Not simply a craving. Eating & then thinking about your next meal immediately. You know how you'll think "I'll have chicken for dinner later" & move on? Now imagine planning then & then it's all you can think of till dinner. It's like a constant buzz in your brain
If you're obese and your doctor prescribes ozempic, this is an off label diagnosis, meaning the drug is not approved to treat that diagnosis. Regulations prevent us from manufacturing a bunch of drugs for an illness the drug isn't approved to treat. They had to reclassify it under a new name approved for obesity to be able to manufacture stock for obesity treatment.
The drug shortage is the fault of off label prescribing.
The comment needs to be boosted.
THANK YOU. listening to hasan ramble on about god knows what just not informed at all yelling at chat is infuriating. they presented it to the FDA as a blood sugar med for diabetics and when they promoted it to doctors via reps they said oh also it has a side effect of knocking off 15 pounds really easily so if you have any patients who need to loose some weight it can do that too. they promoted it for something it was not labled or regulated for, it also can paralyze your fucking stomach nerves permanently so there is that
well yeah but the for profit healthcare system is a multiplier buff
One of the most effective things I've done for weight loss is forcing myself to bike as much as possible to work. Car brain and infrastructure has absolutely contributed to the obesity epidemic
I just started walking to and from work a few days a week and I’m hoping it will help me lose weight, I work a lot and forget to exercise at home so if I force myself to walk somewhere that I absolutely have to be then it makes things easier
Yeah I would love to walk more but where I live I can't safely, one walking alone isn't always safe, two it hards to walk, with so many crosswalks and points where it just ends, the crosswalks are unsafe because people not paying attention, ive almost been run over a few times. If I wasn't being aware I could've been killed or hurt. It sucks
1980s: Dexatrim
2020s: Ozempic
1960s: AYDS caramels and Metrecal shakes

Off label prescriptions are sooo common, I take a blood pressure medication to manage my tachycardia because a side effect is that it decreases heart rate.
Even here in Denmark, theres a shortage. 20% percent of my regular ppl coworkers are taking ozempic for weightloss. Most of them are taking it to lose around 10-30 lbs. Meanwhile, my 2 diabetic colleagues who have also been prescribed it, can't get any.
I also disagree with Hasan about how obese people 'need' ozempic. For obese people ozempic is a drug that improves outcomes through weight loss, but for diabetics ozempic not only improves outcomes through weight loss but also helps them manage their bloodsugar more effectively and reduces the risk adverse outcomes.
As a side note, we've also noticed vast difference in the quality of the information given, with regards to side effects and how you stay healthy while taking ozempic, depending on the context in which it is prescribed.
Something important to note is that I’ve heard from some ppl is that for them, it’s supposed to be taken in conjunction with insulin which can make you hungry? So it balances out with ozempic which suppresses it and can make it a normal level instead of leaving you super hungry or with no appetite
This is why they are now producing versions that are made specifically for weight loss and not diabetes. As production on those increase, the off label use of ozempic will decrease drastically. Also, whether someone needs a drug or not is the professional opinion of their doctor and not you. Most people can not get this prescribed unless their doctor think they need it.
YES, i’m so tired of the “only Americans are fat” or “Europeans are all thin” narrative. Actually, about half of every population is fat, across Europe and everywhere. It is 40-60% it’s 40 in skinnier places and 60 in unhealthy places, but it’s consistently the same, that is not a hugely substantial difference, you are going to find big people everywhere commonly. Obesity levels differ but even the US is not even the top three most obese countries. They are in the Pacific islands.
also the shortage is so real it was annoying how hasan denied it. n i agree people with diabetes could die :( i feel like no one cares or downplays…
I think one major thing hasan is missing is, ozempic is not needed at all for obesity. Other rich countries dont have anywhere close to same obesity issue and don't use that drug. It was causing shortages for diabetics (for whatever specific reason) and the obesity issue is due to american food culture (especially lack of sugar regulation) and car dependency. Would be a lot safer for people to give them walkable areas and healthier food countrywide than to make everyone dependent on ANOTHER drug.
Thank you
some people literally can't wait until the government fixes these structural issues. also the companies are the reason why there is a shortage.
Thats the exact thing that got me mad the whole video
Yeah except people can't force the government to fix any of those things, but they can take a medication to help themselves. Sure all that would help tremendously, but when will it happen here?
He pretty clearly has friends who use it and that's why he's beating around the bush so much. Like there's otherwise no reasoning for how this is such a blind spot.
I first watched this video on D'Angelo's channel and now I'm watching Hasan's commentary on it
Same
The worst part in my opinion is that all the people abusing ozempic could just as easily afford a personal trainer, healthy foods, even home gym equipment if they wanted to. It’s like they were already living on recruit difficulty but still felt the need to install hacks.
I’m a “skinny” guy but my relationship with food is far from healthy. I literally cannot force myself to eat food. I’ll make a massive meal as I’m trying to gain weight and muscle but after a bite I start to feel nauseous and have to stop. Often times it’s the first meal and I just don’t get hungry. It fucking sucks especially when others see it as a positive
I experience this some days, but if I don't eat enough protein, the next day or two, I feel empty no matter how much I eat. It's a weird cycle to be stuck in and if you happen to be fat, people won't believe you that the issue starts with a lack of an appetite.
that’s crazy you’re literally describing it exactly like people on that drug! yeah it’s hell getting nauseous or losing weight, no one is sympathetic.
@@LiveType i have chronic gastrointestinal issues that ive never been to the doctor for and ive struggled with appetite issues my whole life because of this. When I was growing up i was skin & bone i was extremely malnourished and i just couldnt bring myself to eat and if i did i would throw it back up a lot of the time. And i'd say I was getting maybe about half of what you were (so 750 cal) on a better day. A lack of appetite and malnutrition as a result is absolutely not only what you described bro. You say with cravings you cant focus on anything well guess what bro malnutrition gives you incredible brain fog getting worse depending on your lvl. also depending on your kind of lack of appetite, you could absolutely still have stomach cramps and hunger which the pain absolutely causes a lack of focus. Idk if food cravings are worse than a lack of appetite but the reasonings you gave specifically are not worse but are rather comparable. Also if you're underweight and trying to gain weight but cant then a lot of your focus can also be on what you're going to eat and on meal planning so irdk what ur trying to get at. Also I don't want to hear about "oh but yours is medical" because what you're describing of "never ending cravings" also sounds very medical, and yes there are different kinds of "a lack of appetite".
@@LiveType honestly bottom line what im trying to say is i think theres a lot of misconceptions about what its like having a lack of appetite/being malnourished and theres a lot of misconceptions about what its like having an overabundance of appetite/being overweight and i think its weird to try to play the game of "oh but ones better than the other" because in reality both have a lot of similarities and cause a lot of the same issues in the long run (a common one being heart disease) i think its weird trying to play up one to bring down the other or saying one is "preferrable" because thats what a lot of people tell ppl like me and its very hurtful all ur doing is invalidating the experience of people like me. like you could've said what you said just without the part about "oh but its preferrable" you feel me?
**watching this while I eat a Quarter pounder.**
D’Angelo should be teaching those rizz classes Tate thought he could
My dad is on ozempic for diabetes. It's going really well.
He is encouraging me to try it because I have persistent weight issues... I think it might be a good idea.
I don't blame people in Hollywood for using it - if you're gonna make yourself under-eat for a job, you might as well take a drug that makes you feel less shitty while you do it. (edit: But just to be clear, people who are already healthy and average weight probably should just try to live with their bodies as they are 😅)
And believe me, I've tried regulating my damn food. I've gone months eating various restrictive diets, and I have lost weight, but each time I try again it gets harder and harder to cut calories. One time I was eating more lettuce than anything for months until a switch flipped in my brain and I just got completely disgusted at the sight of it...
Like, to be clear, I'm sure if somebody fed me 1600 calories per day and I had no other access to food, I'd be fairly comfortable and slowly lose weight, but it's just not that easy to emulate when you're an adult who can make your own decisions and gets peckish a million times per day. The good thing about Ozempic, from my father's recommendation, is that it just stops you wanting to eat constantly. I've always been jealous of people who have that particular gift...
Yeah I’ve always had a huge appetite and the only reason I grew up slim was because I was in sports year round. Once I hit college I realized I could no longer keep weight down because I wasn’t active. After college I put myself on a strict diet on 1700 calories and worked out and lost 30 lbs. but after some years of back to back experiences and depression I went back to emotional eating and gained 50 lbs. I was on adderall for adhd and surprisingly that curbed my appetite a bit and gave me energy to where I was motivated to workout again. Lost 15 lbs. It’s a lifelong challenge and sometimes meds unintentionally help.
Be careful cutting calories, you can kill your metabolism. I was eating between 800 - 1000 calories a day while breastfeeding a baby and ended up gaining a ton of weight rapidly instead of losing any. Years later I still couldn't over eat if I tried. I'm lucky if I get up to 1500 calories a day and the only thing I have accomplished is stabilizing my weight. Doesn't seem like it's ever going to go down though. Keep in mind I have health issues at play in all this, but the fact still stands that extreme calorie cutting and yoyo dieting can screw your metabolism up something awful.
I've been in it since Jan. Lost 35 lbs. It's life changing. But make sure to research how and what to eat to maximize and stay healthy. ❤
Holy shit totally forgot about those ozempic commercials with the jingle
Hasan is wrong on this one. I’m a nurse in ATL…if you can dish out atleast $200-$300 a month…you can get ozempic…there’s a shortage. My father who is a diabetic was not able to get his semiglutide for 2 months before and had to switch between 3 diff ones because of this weight loss craze 🤷🏽♀️ it’s being over prescribed.
the concerning thing about all political internet personalities or media personalities in general is how confidently all of them will assert something and unless you really actually know about the topic it would be so convincing. The fact he cant even entertain the idea he is wrong says enough, and im a fan of his content usually.
That is not called “over prescribed.” It means the supply doesn’t meet the demand so there’s a **shortage**. Ozempic being used for weight loss isn’t necessarily a bad thing… In fact it (brand name wegovy) is approved for treating obesity.
D'Angelo is goated
The only reason this is even a discussion is price 😂 Price and it not being the 'moral' way to unfat.
i don't know why people seem to think that hollywood weight loss trends start and stop with hollywood, as if non-celebrities aren't constantly looking toward hollywood diets to figure out how to approach their own weight loss regimen. americans lived through the tabloid era -- it should be self-evident the effect hollywood trends have on dieting culture writ large.
💯 they’re literally called trendsetters. well, it’s a trend. not just for morbid mindy, everyone. women who are 20lbs overweight have been called fat their whole lives so they’re going to feel obese and do whatever to “finally lose that extra weight.”
finally there’s no one asking for the fucking audio 😭😭
My diabetic grandmother was literally looking for ozempic for weeks because every pharmacy was sold out. I think people who need it should have access to it, if the health care system in the US was better it wouldn’t even be an issue
yeah there should be a tiered system so diabetics don’t literally die but then they don’t care about that so.
oh my gosh my two fav content creators
Everyone, *_shush...._*
Reactions dropped another Hasanabi dropped another D'Angelo vid!
Ozempic made me miserable, others can have it, I hate it so much
I keep hearing about this ozempic thing
That “inducing irreversible stomach failure for short term gains” thing
I don't think *everyone* gets the stomach thing. But the side effects of obesity more commonly affect those who have it.
The idea that obesity is not a disease is held by people who have never met an obese person or had an obese friend.
Aw Kaya got big, she’s so nice. Dogs are #1
I wanna try it because the only way ive been able to lose weight is to starve myself or eat like max 800 calories a day, ive always been overweight since i was fucking born lol. Doctors constantly making me and my parents aware i was over the curve on weight while under the curve on height whike growing up and ive never managed to get to a lower BMI than "overweight" category, i literally cant. While my friends shove 3 plates full of food for lunch, eat chocolate cereal and jelly on white bread and candy and chips every day and stay in the "underweight" category... if i look at their food i gain 47482928 punds
huh. i used to have this theory that fat babies always end up skinny, (and vice versa?) cause all the skinniest ppl i know ended up skinny but were big babies. were you maybe obese like dangerously overweight for a baby? I’m not sure that’sa thing i thought all fat babies were adorable and healthy, even the 14lb one🥺 i was a fat baby. but not above the curve so not dangerous. i think maybe being shorter could be a big part, all those skinny-fat babies ended up tall. Is there such a thing as a short baby? I didn’t even know this either lol. i thought they were just supposed to tell the mom “it’s perfect, everything’s normal” to not worry, how cruel!
There's nothing wrong with medical intervention when it's needed. But, that being said, I personally wouldn't take a GLP-1 strictly for weight loss because of the potential adverse events not to mention Ozempic, and Mounjaro are for diabetes specifically and people with diabetes need those medications. If you are considering using a GLP-1 for weight loss there are ones specifically indicated for weight loss with the same active ingredient (those medications are Wegovy and Zepbound) and other weight loss medications that aren't GLP-1 (Saxenda, Contrave, and Phentermine) that diabetic people do not take. If you do need medical intervention for weight loss then ask your prescriber about those because to my knowledge those 5 I listed are not for diabetes so diabetics can still receive their medications.
Posted this before watching fully so he does bring up the Wegovy and Zepbound stuff sorry about that
Contrave can have some crazy psychological side effects.
i have seen ads that specify that they believe it to be the shortcut drug
Okay random weight loss rant. I and two other friends who were overweight decided that we needed to lose weight last year & started focusing on that. I'm 154 cm. I was at 80 kgs in march 2023 & now I'm at 61 kg in April 2024. I've still not reached my target weight so my journey is ongoing. However, my friends haven't even seen a 1kg reduction over the entire year. They obsess about portions, calories & excercise wayyy more than I do. They are constantly talking about how they want to lose weight etc but with absolutely zero progress. They keep asking me how I did it and I tell them the same stuff each time. I tried helping them with meal plans etc and nothing works. I realised that they actually just obsess about their weight so much that they end up sabotaging themselves. I eat more than them & I'm still losing weight!
What I've realised is that don't go too crazy. Be kind and charitable to yourself & don't aim for unrealistic goals like 5kgs a month as soon as you start out. Losing 10 kgs over a year is better than trying to lose weight in a month, releasing & then going back to square one. Patience is the key.
I was losing 1 kg per week in the beginning. Now at 61 kgs, my progress is much more slower but that's just how it works. It took me 3 months to lose 10 kgs & the 9 months to lose 9 kgs after that. Progress becomes slower but consistency is key. Have achievable targets. Doing all the stuff celebrities or fitness influencers do isn't sustainable for most of us with regular lives. That's their job, they can do all that. We can't. Not to mention, fitness influencers look good but keep in mind that having a chiselled bidy doesn't mean they're healthier. Fat is there in our body for a reason. Super low fat percentage is actually unhealthy. Be realistic. Aim for long term changes instead of having the mindset that you'll go back to how it was once you achieve your dream body.
Also, when excercising, think about getting stronger instead of losing weight. It makes the process so much easier. I really fell in love with excercising when one day my dad asked me to open a jar for him. I was like "woah wait this is awesome!" and now everytime I excercise I'm thinking about how much stronger I'm getting. I even started martial arts at the big age of 27 because now I genuinely enjoy excercising and feeling stronger.
Anyway, slow and steady wins the race. Just start making progress. Even if it is 1 kg in a month. Something is always better than nothing.
Edit: I'm not saying this is something that works for everyone. I'm just saying that if you're in a similar situation as my friends, where you end up self sabotaging, maybe taking a step back and changing your approach would be a good start. Again, there is no one glove fits all. If nothing seems to work, it's best to seek help from a professional if you have the finances for it.
The best nickname now in a lot of countries about this is: Ozempic head. People just looks like cartoon.
I have my own ozempic at home called black coffee (no sugar). Without it, i don't think I could handle hunger and craving during lunch time and mornings.
With a planned diet and at least 2 hrs of daily walk i was able to lose from 3/4 to 2lbs weekly to a total of 90lbs in 2 years, depending on the calorie deficit.
Laws of thermodynamics is matter can not be created or destroyed therefore calories in calories out.
NOW as Hasan said yes everyone has different genetics and everyone has a different BMR despite having the similar physical attributes. Weather you want to do cardio or resistance training, diet is by far the most important factor.
And it is your job to find your real BMR don't use on-line calculators those are not accurate at all. Log every single calorie that you consume and weight yourself over several weeks and you should be able to find your BMR.
Also i dont trust ozempic it is being sold off as the opiods pills during the early 2000. And see how that turned out when opiods were prescribed as candy. 😑😑
so many of the comments on the OG video feel like they’re solely blaming “greedy” “lazy” non-celebrity fat people wanting a “quick fix” for diabetics not being able to get their life-saving medicine from their pharmacies and it just feels like they’re missing a big chunk of what D’Angelo is saying
It sucks for People with diabetes my mom has trouble getting her now
I went from 240 to 160 over the course of 2021-2022. Been between 140-150 for the past year and feel great. Find workouts that you have fun doing and you'll actually do it more often.
27:07 in 2017-2018 i lost 7-10 lbs per month for several months and kept it off. For me it was a dramatic stress reduction that caused it, then I started cooking for myself more and walking daily. One person asked me if I had a gastric bypass. I'm sure that if it had happened a few years later everybody would have assumed I did ozempic.
I think this is the first time I'm hearing about this thing. I suppose that shows just how big the internet really is.
that hair game is off the charts 🤯
I’m confused when they say it leaves you feeling full longer, do they mean cravings? Cause usually if I am eating something I don’t need it is because I’m bored or I know I’ll just enjoy it.. not because I’m actually hungry lol
You know the feeling when you’re so full you can’t take another bite.. even if you’re bored or just bc you wanna taste food.. that’s what they mean by “ full “. There is literally no interest in food whatsoever.
some people don't feel full even if they eat slowly, balanced meals and don't binge. like the video stated it is likely due to hormonal imbalance and therefore leading to obesity. sometimes it also can come from large stomachs or other health complications.
it essentially provides your digestive system with the things it needs to feel full! so if youre someone who struggles with over eating/understanding when you feel full. For that reason its better used for people struggling with diabetes/severe obesity. But if you find yourself eating due to boredom or to feel good - it may be something you do for comfort when feeling stressed/distressed. Eating tasty stuff gives us a lot of dopamine! So its often something the body will crave when you're feeling bored or seeking other comforts. If you're struggling to distinguish hunger from desire to eat unrelated to hunger, I suggest seeking medical advice or doing further research
@@katcrow oooh okay, yeah I understand overeating but I have ADHD and have struggled with addiction my entire so for me it’s always the sweet treats and the lack of impulse control lol. But I’ve never considered that hunger, like if im hungry I will make myself standard food but the other 90% of the time my brain is like “nomnomnom I just need some lil dopamine boosters to finish my chores” and so I didn’t know if that’s what other people struggled with or if they actually felt like they could never get full. That makes sense though I appreciate the explanation:)
i heard people say “i can drink a glass of water but if i eat more than that i want tothrow up.” so, it’s like that. you feel sickened and neasous from more food, which is also why so many can’t keep down human portions but only water and a bite of something… also it WILL make you throw up apparently if you do go for more, so you’d have to be a huge huge overeater.
hasans answer to weight loss at the beginning was the most libbed up thing i’ve ever heard him say lolll no that wouldn’t fix the issue 🤦🏽♂️ isn’t this the whole point hasan lmaoooo
My only concern is how it appears to act on the motivational pathways of the brain in a way we dont entirely understand,
Not saying that makes it bad or evil, but we shouldent just view it as the magical solution and hand it out with ease it should be handled with a bit more caution until we understand its functions on 5HT and TAAR-1 receptors better
27:10 (Out of the dozens I’ve read) I’ve never heard of someone who didn’t lose 10-20lbs in one week on Oz. That’s the problem. All the testimonials I saw women lost 20-50lbs in one month and were over the moon about only being able to hold down a glass of water all day…. comments were congratulatory and excited (to try it next), never alarmed.
My aunt got to the point where she was so morbidly obese that exercising was a risk for her heart. She's been using ozempic and going through lifestyle changes; now she's at a point where she's exercising, eating better and still losing weight after going off ozempic. She can actually go for hour long walks now.
My point is that people don't realize that exercise and dieting alone isn't an option for some people who are really far gone. Yes, dieting works but its usually not that helpful without exercise. After seeing how much my aunt's life changed for the better, I don't think it's that bad for ozempic to become a weight loss medicine for obese people. I don't understand why people are unsympathetic, that's so crazy to me.
Not the Clip channel w the W H OMEGALUL
Love Hasan watching D'Angelo...dude's awesome
which one
2300 calories being the average meal at Applebee's can't be true. I mean, thats what you're supposed to eat a day. unless you do like physical labor of course.
It’s pretty accurate if they’re including like appetizers and drinks. Even their salads are over 1K calories
@@monicarenee7949 I think you're right. Most entrees are somewhere between 1000 and 1400 calories. I'd be freaked out if I could eat more than half an entree.
It’s funny when it f’s with capitalism 😂😂😂 “ weight watchers stock…Walmart decrease in food sales…Norway’s economy boost…” 😂😂😂 damn, this is America! By the way, Where can I get me some? 🤣🤣🤣
I have been taking ozempic for 2 years. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and leptin imbalance which means I am always hungry. With the use, I am no longer prediabetic
Damn d'angelo, warm welcome to long hair club 😮😲😁🔥🔥
I definitely recommend D'Angelo Wallace
I think it’s interesting that Phillip DeFranco and Ethan both lost a ton of weight near the beginning of ozempic. I do know that they were trying to loose weight already but they didn’t get anywhere near the results until ozempic was out and now Phil is using his weight loss as a selling point for his advertisements
I'm 💀 she didn't know what medication she was taking ? Just taking random pills, it's anti aging ...😅
It’s weirder than that, it’s a weekly injection. She was injecting a medication weekly without knowing what it was.
I write this as someone who has been on an obscene dose of antidepressants for about half a decade - ozempic is to those struggling wifh obesity what prozac is to those of us with chronic depression. My issue with both of them is the same. My mental health could be vastly improved if both our society and our economic system were structured in a kinder and more ethical way. It wouldn't cure me of a genetic predisposition, but it would go a long way to alleviating the symptoms to the point where I may be able to live a fulfilling life without medication. These drugs therefore become a catch-22 - you need them to make life bearable, but by taking them our society and economic leaders are relieved of all responsibility for their role in the exacerbation of what is otherwise could be a very manageable condition and lose the last remaining vestige of pressure or motivation to change. Am I angry with myself or my compatriots for taking prozac? Fuck no. Am I angry with people taking Ozempic? Again, fuck no. I'm angry that capitalism has once again found a way of financialising the very same health that it strips us all of every day of our existence
Even when applied to socialised medicine, the same point applies. Free prescriptions operating inside a capitalist economy (in these cases) just allows the market to continue abusing consumers with products and material conditions that make us sicker whilst the state picks up the bill in an entirely imperfect way for a problem that originated within the market in the first place
I was offered ozempic by my doctor and I declined. I've been morbidly obese since I was very young and would greatly benefit from it, but I felt really bad that I might be taking meds away from diabetics who legitimatly need it to survive. Wish it could be more widely available so I can take it guilt free, since I have trouble losing weight even with very restricted eating and regular exercise
I’d consider taking it to treat morbid obesity as life saving prescription. It’s a chronic illness that leads to more chronic illnesses down the line… if you get diabetes (very likely) you’ll end up needing it anyway down the line. I think you should do what is best for you if you think it will help.
seconded ^ esp if you’re pre-diabetic! if not take the kinds specifically designed only for weight loss, mentioned here and in the comments and you could probably look it up to be sure :) diabetics don’t take that one so no shortage for them! very kind and considerate of you but you can totally take it the right way now. good luck!
D'ANGELO!!! 🩵
I’m an ER nurse. Ozempic is not dangerous and can be good in certain conditions. I have seen it being abused, but if taken correctly and helping you regulate your diet, then go for it.
I read a speadsheet once at work called obesity as a service and ... I don't have a lot of hope for humanity.
what did they mean by "obesity is a service"?
flexing your eating disorder 😂
Watching this while slurping down a desert felt weird ,:D Thank god I live in a walkable city so I have the opportunity to walk it off on my way to get groceries later. No shame for anyone using whatever method works for them as long as they know what they're doing
The idea that I sitting on my ass all day am somehow supposed to be morally superior to and somehow more deserving of my skinnyness than my overweight friend that sends updates on their daily hikes and fitness routine is so idiotic
How have you never heard of him? Hasan has reacted to him before
As a former wrestler i basically have anorexia i can turn on and off. I have sympathy for people that don't have self control when it comes to eating, it was basically dilled into me since i was a kid. I will say that overeating isn't nearly as dangerous or morally reprehensible as some other coping mechanisms and guilty pleasures.
i have a disability and chronic illness called ankylosing spondylitis and i also now have arthritis in all of my joints as a result of that :[ I loose alot of weight because my body needs alot of energy because of the illness. It really sucks and i really hope i can gain healthy weight, im trying my best by eating more frequently and doing some exercises that are okay for my body. is hard life pray for me XD
oh man im sorry to hear that. i remember very vividly when i was 18 or so and started having really bad back problems i had a xray and the GP thuoght i had anklyosing spondylitis and the month between them and getting a MRI to show it was just a disc with facet anthropothy. But anklyosing spondylitis is no joke.
Snacking is my weakness
Nah there really is a shortage. It’s more than Hollywood taking it to lose a quick 5 -10 and has become trendy. It has gotten slightly better but every time I have to refill it’s not available. At one point my doctor had to switch me to another med that didn’t work as well. Also, I wish it made me lose weight but at least it lowers my A1C. 🤷🏾♀️
I’m guessing you didn’t watch the video, smh!
I'm genuinely asking, do you think the excessive purchasing of the drug in hollywood by people who WANT it for vanity related reasons doesnt relate to the shortage overall that effects people who NEED it for health reasons? if there are people who can buy it out of pocket bc they feel like it, it will leave less for people who have to go through a lengthy process via insurance to get the med approved at all
@@Niteporte uh, i commented as I was watching. smh! lol
My father is on ozempic for diabetes-he loves it. My bf is a firefighter who has been really struggling with recent weight gain as a result of stress and sleep deprivation. He used to be very active and fit, but after working full time and doing full time paramedic school and clinicals, his lifestyle choices dipped pretty hard. It doesn’t help that he has a very unhealthy relationship with food, I would love to look into both therapy for his relationship with food and ozempic for him-it’s just a huge concern for when he’s on scene with a fire as well. And bc of the extra weight, he’s even more exhausted and depressed-even if he just gets on ozempic for a bit to lose some weight so he could have the energy again to go to the gym between his 24 hour shifts…. It’s something to consider
Thyroid fine. Cortisol fine. Have a PT. Work out lift/cardio. Log what I eat. Can't lose weight. I'm thiiiiiiis close to getting a prescription. Idgaf about fat phobia. I hate myself for being chubby and I KNOW society does too.
i have a friend who is now struggling with an eating disorder after being suggested this medication by a spa- to lose 20 lbs at 20yrs old it is definitely being over prescribed by unprofessionals this is ct and she was average size stg it doesn’t go to people who need it. it goes to people willing to do anything to not be fat. not everyone is on it but too many people take it and we don’t know what will happen when this is regulated and people who don’t need it get cut off🙃
I prefer coke. As expensive but more fun
i found one in the alley, stabbed my chair with it then realized that theyre like bees
You’re not meant to drink on Ozempic, but also, there might be a clause in her Jenny contract that prohibits it (because bad PR if it gets out that she dropped weight because of drugs and not the program). Not that she’s good PR now, but ya know …
Drinking game: take a shot every time Hasan says calories in calories out in a different way.
Ps: you will die
The problems associated with obesity seem like they might be worse than the drug, so I'm all for people taking it. Just need better healthcare (universal) and regulation around it as far pricing is concerned.
What a brazillian
This dude is the definition of bubble wrap clothing
As a swede, if denmark brings america down I will never forgive you for that.
I'm high as fuck and those audio glitches made me think something was wrong with my ears
There are so many better ways that the US government should implement to reduce Obesity, rather than for profit medication sold to the highest bidder rather than given to those who need it the most. Obesity would greatly reduce in any country with:
- Nationalised healthcare and even pharmaceuticals
- Walkable cities and public transport
- Actual food and water regulations (including safe clean tap water)
- more extra curricular activities for schools
A pound a day requires a 3500 calorie deficit
Your chat has no idea how obesity works, man😂 I have hormonal imbalances and loosing weight is horrifyingly hard for me. On top of that the medications that I am taking to keep my hormones in check messes with my health and makes me gain weight. I am on a clean diet and trying everything to loose weight but it is SUPER HARD. 😅
