I see my sister use it but she just stopped eating. She hasn’t improved her relationship with food nor does she work out. I can see so clearly she’ll “be a statistic” bc she isn’t using the medicine to actually address how she got to this point.
I have gastroparesis permanently, I’m skinny now (formerly overweight/obese range) but life is very difficult. I got mine idiopathically & never took those meds, but I would just urge caution. Once your body starts consuming itself & you’re a deflated looking wraith and a size zero, you feel miserable, thin or not.
@@montananerd8244you have gastroperesis from ozempic?
Here's a fun fact. A human female needs almost no food to get through the day. An egg. One slice of bread. 3 almonds. And you'd be fine for a day. The 2000 calories a day lie is nonsense. In fact barely eating is the human norm.
I am so proud of her for making an informed choice
I have lost close to 50 lbs naturally and I almost hate being asked how I lost it coming with the "youll probably gain it all back/just wait until you have kids ". It was just pure desire. I has sick of being fat + the inability to even take 2 steps. There were times where I thought that this is going to be me for life but that was what feels like years ago. I'm not perfect by any means but i can now go for long walks, swim, and am pretty good at exercises
nice work
Honestly.... the best way forward for Beatrice is for her to treat her ADHD. From her comments on food noise and dopamine rewards for eating, a lot of her issues likely stem from this. If stimulant medications aren't working for her, she needs ADHD specific therapy to address these things and find ways to cope. I'm saying this all as a late diagnosed woman who has dealt with the exact same things, luckily Vyvanse has helped me significantly in these same areas, but I'm surprised that her doctors never recommended non-medicinal options to her. Many folks with ADHD are never medicated or are able to get off of their medication through proper therapy and mental health resources.
As an ADHDer I was thinking the same when she said that!!!
I am on Vyvanse and a GLP 1 😅
Diagnosed at 40 six months ago and agree so much! It all makes so much sense
My mom started ozempic for weight loss before it blew up as a thing so two ish plus years now. She lost so much weight but at this point she’s still on it… having GI issues and gaining weight back while on it.
She wanted me to get on it but I told her I didn’t want a medication and I could lose weight if I tried. I started in August last year losing weight and I’m down 61 pounds naturally so far!
Not me watching Bea's video today and then getting notification on yours. I love Bea, would watch anything she puts out.
You are so pleasant to watch. So many fitness influencers just complain about those still figuring it out not doing things the way they think they should.
You are very good at providing your thoughts without doing that. Its just you giving your thoughts without being a smart ass or taking a dig at people. Thanks for being awesome.
I love Beatrice Caruso! I love the changes to her channel. Stayed for her personality! :D
Ozempic user here. Started about 8 months ago, with a month off early on due to shortages. I am now down 60 pounds, and am on track for losing 100 pounds by Oct 1 (my 1 year anniversary of starting this weight loss goal). The worst side effect I've had so far is an upset digestive track if I eat too much fried foods in one meal.
On the other hand, I've had these side effects. 1) no food noise. 2) my body is now really fast at telling me when I'm full. 3) I don't snack anymore... like ever. 4) I have had to learn for the first time in my life what healthy eating actually looks like because, if I don't listen to those things, my body will notice.
Also, doctors will only usually allow you to stay on Ozempic for 2 years. And it is a myth that everyone who takes it regains the weight, just like the dieting in general. It's about 1/2 of people who stop both Ozempic and any lifestyle changes they had during it that gain 2/3 of the weight back. If you're maintaining the healthy changes you made during it, you should only see minimal weight gain or maintain the weight you've lost. Like she said, Ozempic has been around for a long time, and it took me about five seconds on Google scholar to find the stats.
You have no digestion noise because the Ozempic is destroying your digestive system. Come back later and tell us how the gastroparesis is going.
anyway, personal experience isn’t the same as tested studies. your anecdote holds no weight
What steps have you taken to heal your relationship with food other than numb the feelings with drugs? Have you implemented counseling to find healthy coping mechanisms? Have you learned how to deal with obsessive and compulsive behavior so it doesnt simply move from food to some other aspect? Sure its fixing the symptom of your problem, but its putting a bandaid on a bullet wound
And how much of that weight loss is muscle
Meaning your metabolism is shot after you come off of it
@@davidmcdowell2788 I've actually been working with a doctor that has been keeping an eye on it. And my muscle mass has improved slightly.
Mounjaro had me re-evaluate my eating, I track everything i eat and drink, I fast, I excercise 4 times a week for at least an hour. I don’t eat fast food and just eat fruit for sweets. Mounjaro can change your life. I’ve lost 35 lbs in 14 weeks. I’m now 286. I’m changing everything and doing a lot of work.
And when you come off of it you’ll gain it all back plus more
@@StrawberryJam806 nah I’ll be the 30% I like water aerobics and swimming. I’m burnging like 1900 calories 4 days a week. Even on my bday with a cheat day I still burned more than I ate that week. That’s with 4k calories. I’m not depriving myself I’m eating like normal meat, veggies, small starch for dinner. Sandwich or salad for lunch. Chorizo and egg, omelette, chicken and biscuit, cottage cheese and garbonzo beans for breakfast. Blackberries for sweet treat. Vegetables for snack. Nothing about this is hard. It’s kind of fun being old skinny me from high school swim team. I got lose it lifelong membership and I have a 90 day streak I don’t want to break. I’m studying atomic habits and making lasting changes.
so why did you need it in the first place? The changes alone would help you lose weight.
@@miket.1933 it gave me hope. I believed it was possible. I’m bipolar, car accident disabled use a walker, rheumatoid arthritis, pcos, horrible long periods. I didn’t think I could do it. Now I’m as active as high school me. I have all the hope in the world, I don’t have appetite supression or delayed emptying I have been on the same 5 mg dose for 4 months it’s effects have worn off. All it’s doing is helping me close the kitchen at night and help me fast. Other than that I don’t need it. I’ll stay on it as long as my insurance will allow me but I’m changing my life with or without this drug. I just needed the noose off my neck.
@@miket.1933 Because while it's not a cure it is a TOOL. It is a tool to help you get started and help you begin to learn a new healthier lifestyle.
As a huge fan of both of you, I'm excited to see this video!
Yes same!! Clicked so fast lol
@@emmagrace2296 Hey Maddie! same 😂
Thank you for sharing this I went from obese to 7 kilos underweight on a feeding tube and with pancreatitis back to being obese now, losing the weight in such an extreme way gave me gallstones kidney stones and pancreatitis and a liver injury from diet pills. Now I'm obese but active and I go easier on myself and I call someone I trust when I am eating from an emotional place. It's honestly like being a drug addict I need to call someone and tell them I'm going to relapse because it's just as dangerous as drugs.
Bea is awesome and I hope she finds a path that makes her feel her best! It seems like she made the right choice for herself and I appreciate her sharing the thought process behind it.
Been watching Bea since you first brought her on. She has been slowly moving her channel to daily life blogs w. Emphasis of mental health. She's done so much w. Her mental health and her life style that it's great to watch someone who isn't going down the diet rabbit hole anymore.
However anyone wants to lose weight is their own journey. And people need to stop shaming people for their choices. Everyone is trying to just live their life.
As someone who is over 500lbs and took this medication, the amount of inflammation that was fixed was insane. I did have a significant amount of muscle loss to the point where I lost a lot of mobility due to pain, and muscle fatigue. I stopped, and just restarted it with a plan to keep muscle strength. This mediation has been around for more than 20 years. The way this medication helped again with inflammation is mind-blowing and I foresee it being used for that soon. After stopping it for 6 months, I will say the food noise did come back but nowhere as strong. I don't know if it was due to me finding new coping mechanisms, or the ability to ignore it, or if it truly helped with it. Now on my first week back on it, the noise is completely gone again. It's kind of freeing. It does make my Autism worse, though, I am constantly overstimulated for the first couple of weeks. The way it is showing to help with cardiovascular health too is why I am fine taking for A LONG LONG time; cause we all know I will need every bit of heart help as i can get
I have severe idiopathic (cause unknown) gastroparesis. My eating habits are trash, and being healthy on a low fiber, low fat diet is very hard. You do have to trade off healthy food for GI stability if you end up with permanent gastroparesis. I can’t have a full serving of nuts, beans, whole grains, red meat, fruit or veg without pain or 🤢. Don’t jump into these meds unless the pros outweigh the cons for you - most GP resolves but mine is permanent and being this thin just looks creepy & I can barely eat solid food. I’ve been on ensure daily for over a decade. I didn’t get treatment right away, I was too excited to lose weight without effort. Worst decision ever.
My kid has gastroparesis and struggles with it daily. Thank you for talking about your experience. I know it’s awful and people really need to take it more seriously
Gastroparesis here to. I really don't get why people risk it. (Mine is due to genetic disease).
I stopped following Bea because I was getting so frustrated with her trying and failing and trying and failing again…and in the end not really losing any weight for years. But then I realized I was angry with her because her journey reflects my own and I’m angry at myself. I have struggled sooo much the last 3 years with my weight and I’ve been stuck in the same cycle she has. I constantly make excuses for myself. I do so well for about 2 weeks and start seeing results and then I go back to bad habits again. It gets so tiring.
Edit: I probably get 50 ads minimum a day, across my social media platforms, for weight loss injections. It’s crazy.
I can relate to you and Bea! I lost about 20 lbs with intermittent fasting a couple years ago which was great since losing weight is hard for me, but I gained it all back and then some quickly, and it's hard to keep motivation for longer than a couple weeks..I was diagnosed with a chronic condition almost a year ago and weight loss can help and I'm at the point of asking my doctor for help because it's been so hard to keep going on my own.
My personal experience as an older female (60 this year) is this…the road of life choices is long and sustaining a particular habit or choice or lifestyle can and probably will fail if the expectations are quick success…especially for health or weight loss!!!!
❤ health is so much more than a pill or injection or binge or starvation… it’s a journey that over time will get better and better with even small changes! Be kind to yourself and work as much as you can or give a little at a time even if it’s just a walk around the block or a food swap or cooking a meal instead of Uber eats or just turning off your phone an extra 10 minutes a day and folding clothes or cleaning a shelf in the hallway…Anything helps! Little changes lead to bigger changes… it’s a little less overwhelming that way. Keep the muscle you have, too!!!!! U gonna need it! ❤❤❤
I was on Saxenda until I got pregnant and I absolutely love the reduction in food noise, I lost 26 lb before my pregnancy and have been able to keep it off as well the food noise is still gone for me. I haven’t felt the need to get back on the medication
When it comes to regain, people should remember even people who havent lost weight lose and gain weight throughout life. 5-10lbs here and there. 20lbs. Life happens. You notice it and get your habbits back under control. You just have to be extra careful when you have been obese or have an ed or whatever. But everyone gains and loses weigh in life. You got your weight off once you can do it again. Its hard but doable. Weight gain happens to evwryine no matter what we just have to be more careful when we have been big. But everyone will have weight issues if they don't think about what they consume too
🫂 kind and very wise. ❤️✌️
She’s got a good personality. I like her :)
She is amazing!! Funny and real, and a talented artist!! Definitely worth subscribing if you haven't yet. 😊
5% is an average. It is not the median. And no statistic predicts any one particular person or situation. Most who fail are those who haven't made permanent new habits, but rather think in terms of short term results
Feels like people get caught up in seeing other folks quick results and they forget it isn't a permanent fix.
Just because somebody makes a different choice than you do doesn't make your choice wrong.
Which she makes very clear in the video.
Nor theirs.
I’m very impressed by how candid she was about personal details of her life and outlook. There’s stuff regarding my relationship with and psyche regarding food that I wouldn’t dare tell the internet for fear of getting ripped apart by viewers.
I use Semiglutide injections also. 7 months in. No side effects at all. Helps a lot with cravings & controlling hunger. I am also tracking my food, eating lower calories & eating more veggies. And working out 3 times a week. I’ve lost 50lbs so far. Starting weight was 230
🎉 congratulations!
The only thing more annoying than the few in the FA world who slate anyone who takes these medications are the thousands of others who act like they knew the experiences and stories of the people who choose to take them. It's so easy to pick out who has never done a lick of research and just repeats what everyone else is screaming about "taking drugs away from people."
I use it and it has stopped me from bingeing in the middle of the night after all other medications failed.
Because you’re so nauseous you can’t eat?
@@StrawberryJam806 no not at all i feel better than ever
@@StrawberryJam806why are you on every post doing this? Jealous?
Never thought about seeing my girl Bea on this channel!
I’ll be honest, I briefly considered trying to be a weight loss influencer when weight was falling off me due to illness. I decided it was too unethical & d-bag behavior, and I am so glad! But it does serve as a reminder that just because someone says they’re losing weight one way does not make it a fact! I don’t trust many folks in fitness/wellness tbh
The way weight loss drugs have exploded kinda feels like how AI has exploded. They both felt kinda sudden/abrupt (though in reality it was probably a long road to get here)
No diet discerns between muscle and fat. I'm on a med - my muscle mass has increased because I eat a lot of protein (real food) and I exercise
I hate the 95% myth. Even if it was a real statistic how much of that data is skewed? Think of how many people in January set out to lose weight for like two weeks then give up. That would heavily inflate the numbers of people who “failed”. Also a good amount of people are doing crash diets and unsustainable things to have a quick fix and so so many people just do that and do fail.But I think if you are someone who really sits down and does your research and are okay with a really slow process and don’t try to rush to the finish line so to speak you’ll end up being way more likely to be successful. I hate that it is used to scare people or discourage people from trying to achieve goals they may have.
Weight loss is weight loss. It’s like winning is winning whether you win by an inch or a mile.
Nah loosing fat vs muscle mass is completely different
I could see the loss of muscle mass having more to do with poor food choices and little to no strength training.
Semaglutide is not magic.
Optimizing via diet and exercise is still important.
I agree. I am 67 pounds down and very little to no muscle loss. Just a small amount of loose skin on the arms, and that I was mostly due to fat loss. I know because I have pictures of my arms before. Shredded I was not.
I do some weight training but nothing crazy. Weights a couple days a week, some yoga and light cardio. Honestly there were times I was obese I lifted more and did more cardio.
@martintanz9098 I like how strength training has a longer post-workout calorie burning window and how it increases the basal metabolic rate over time.😁👍
These are absolutely the questions to ask. And it is your choice. I spent a very long time improving my relationship with food and failing. My issue was never feeling satiated or full. And bulk eating did very little.
These medications are a helpful tool. And even with them, I still have to watch what I eat and count calories. I just dont need to eat all the time now or as much.
I am also fortunate that the GI side effects are minimal.
Very low dose ozempic was the answer for me. I was diagnosed as very close to type 2 big D, rx was ozempic. I went for 195 to 164 lbs, I'm 5ft7in, obese to just a bit overweight. Lifestyle change is key, I watch carbs, etc, and am active with treadmill and weights, and I'm loving pickleball!! I feel great on ozempic low dose, it's not for everyone tho. Btw, I'm 61 years old and in pretty dang good shape for an old(er) gal 😊
First, every single drug you take has side effects. Have you looked at the side effects for Aspirin lately for example? How about the birth control pill? For a lot of people who resort to ozempic, they are at a weight that will be the death of them if it continues, so they can take their chance with this, or die of heart disease / diabetes and so on.
My sister was over 300lb at 5' tall. She had tried a tonne of different diets and means to lose the weight and lived a lifetime of yoyos, though never getting below about 280 before gaining it all back, plus some. She's been on Ozempic almost a year now and has lost 110lb and counting.
Ozempic shut up the screaming voice in her head that kept telling her to eat. That is the main difference above all. And to people who say that she's just using a drug to numb the problem.... how do you feel then about people taking medications for other mental health issues? This isn't about someone taking the easy road. This is someone who has suffered her entire life and finally, for the first time in 40+ years, she has relief and success.
Part of the problem with the negative press is that a lot ( not all ), of the people who have negative experiences on Ozempic are those who didn't make any lifestyle changes at all. Yes, ozempic can eat lean muscle. To combat this you need to increase your protein intake and EXERCISE! Especially strength training. You have to change your diet to eat healthier. You have to take all the other steps and make the lifestyle changes that you would need to make even if not taking ozempic. Ozempic just adds rocket fuel to the weight loss journey.
I view using ozempic as someone who uses narcotics taking methadone or suboxone. Its useful and definitely helps keep a lot of people from an early grave, but it’s important to stress how crucial it is to resolve the underlying issues that cause the obsessive and compulsive behavior and to learn new healthy coping habits and learn about nutrition and wellness. Without the other work, its just a bandaid over a bullet wound
@@Poopiepies I do understand your point, for sure, but there is a difference between a food addiction and a mental illness that requires medication to manage. Someone who is severely schizophrenic needs that medication to help them. In some cases you can use other means to learn healthy coping habits but in a lot of cases, those alone won't do it. For someone who has been obese their entire life, has struggled with it their whole life, and who cannot quiet the screaming voice in their head that my sister had been dealing with, Ozempic is a game changer. My hope is that with time they will come out with a medication to help with that, that won't have the potential GI issues that ozempic can have. However, if she has to take Ozempic for the rest of her life, and it helps keep her out of the prison of her body, and helps keep her alive, then I'm good with that, and more importantly, so is she.
@@dorianmeredith8707 I completely agree although I feel like there could be other medications used to quiet food noise like the same medications that are used to treat the obsessive and compulsive thoughts from OCD. I just feel like the medication is overprescribed for people who dont truly need it like when there was a ton of college students getting adderal for all the wrong reasons. Ive dealt with a lot of inside screaming and intrusive thoughts due to OCD and a restrictive ed with binge and purging tendencies, so I can understand and completely empathize with that.
Thank you! People act as if morbid obesity is this benign condition. It isn’t. Obese people will die or suffer from one of many ailments caused or aggravated by obesity including heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis, lymphedema, and cancer. Most obese people past the age of 40 already have these health problems to some extent. Losing the weight can alleviate or even reverse many of these conditions.
@@Poopiepies I don't know why it never occurs to people that the root cause of obesity could sometimes just be busted hunger signals. Hunger isn't a drive designed to be ignored, and if you're hungry long enough, eventually you're going to eat. It doesn't mean something is mentally wrong with you. All the therapy in the world didn't stop me from crying in pain and frustration when I was starving 2 hours after eating a healthy meal, but glp-1s sure did!
That clickbait 😂. Love it and love Bea! 🤗
Dr. Spencer Nadolsky: "I have a good # of patients who have come off their GLP-1 (eg Wegovy/Ozempic/Mounjaro) and kept their weight off. Here is what they do: 1. Daily activity. Lifting 2-3x per week Biking/running/walking 2-3x per week. 2. High protein 1-2 g per kg/bw 3. High fruit/veggie intake."
Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, gastric bypass--whatever. These are TOOLS. Lasting progress happens by using the tools to their fullest potential to create new habits.
Sorry to comment so much but hoping my experience is useful. My gastroparesis isn’t related to meds, but I went into remission once. Food noise came back very strong, dopamine hit hard. I simply cannot comfort eat most of the time, but the disorder does not seem to help with good eating habits, in fact I crash out because I don’t get good hunger cues. My original MD (now running her own clinic elsewhere) and I believe it to be a disorder that damages both GI and mental health/cognitive function around food. And it comes with a lot of mental health problems for many people. I do not think gastroparesis is a side effect, I think the goal is to give everyone a mild case. But if you get serious, long term GP, you may be thin, but you’ve got a rough road ahead. I did pretty good yesterday - my total solid food was 1/2 Taco Bell nachos - small enuf portion that I could digest the meat, beans, cheese AND tomatoes, but that’s the max amount for me. Thin or plump, this is no way to live. If I work more than 30 hrs a week, I collapse. I am weak, I look ancient, remember Crypt Keeper is slender too lol😂 and people say horrible things to me because a lot of people are boldly nasty to thin people. I can’t wait til Fat Acceptance gets truly called out for their bigotry & refusal to see that underweight people have issues too.
On Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes, but also losing weight. Down 67 pounds in 6 months.
I do some weights, but only 1 to 2 days a week. So far muscle loss is minimal and most of the weight loss is fat and water.
Diet is high protein, moderate fat, and low carb.
Fwiw, I think Beatrice should take the drugs for a couple of reasons.
1. She may learn better eating habits and be able to keep the weight off without the drugs.
2. She will be healthier if she loses the weight
3. Even if it is a lifetime thing, The drug companies may come out with a maintenance pill in the future which, like anything is just life. I have been on blood pressure pills for25 years. It isn’t a big deal to be on medication life, if it keeps you alive.
Oh yeah, Retatrutide is coming and it’s awesome!!
I was on trulicity years ago for my diabetes but i also had pre existing digestive tract paralysis that I wasn't aware of. I was not made aware at the time of what the medication might do to me.
However, just because one medication doesn't work for someone doesn't mean it isn't going to be life changing or a helpful tool for others. Any medication that has an effect on the body will also have side effects.
These are legitimate medications with legitimate side effects and they shouldn't be taken lightly but they are also MEDICINES for a reason
My friend is on one of these drugs and the amount of health complications she's had since starting... Really worries me.
I had VSG surgery 2 years ago, lost 80 pounds about a year in I stopped losing , I was almost 400 pounds so still had to lose. I tried for 9 months and was still at a standstill.. so I started compound semiglutide a month or so ago and have lost almost 10 pounds. No side effects so far, trying to focus on the daily habits. Food noise is going away again.
This is the first time I've ever seen this woman. A lot of people these days would say "but she doesn't look overweight"! Never mind "obese"!
Ha, back in the 80s, for my middle school science project, I did it on , Are diets effective for long term weight loss? Surprise, I found the same results.
I've lost 120lbs in the last 4 yrs. I enjoy being able to move and live the life I've always wanted. I have no plans on going back to my old life. This shit is no way easy, but it's definitely worth it.
Been on semaglutides for 2 yrs. I've tried them all but love Mounjaro the most.also been powerlifting since March 2021...totally have changed my relationship with food. I still struggle with feelings of wanted to binge but able to stop the urge now.
I'm now 203 lbs and was 280 ish when I started semaglutides but highest weight was 453 lbs though I had two bariatric surgeries before semaglutides...which 90 lbs of the 250 lbs lost was diet and exercise only.
One thing I’ve come to grips with my adhd is I am prone to obsession and what may seem to be as a person who is quickly addicted to pretty much anything that will provide me dopamine. If it’s not food it can be shopping, or drugs, or alcohol, or s*x ect. I’ve made my obsession to now be a healthy lifestyle, working out, finding the most yummy macro friendly meal options, deep diving into exercise explanations ect. I’ve had worse obsessions/addictions that had absolutely no good impact on my life; so I’m more than happy for what it is now 😂😂 I guess what I’m saying is she may always be prone to addiction , but she can make changes so that the obsession or addiction isn’t causing a negative impact on herself. Also sucks as people with ADHD are often told all their life that they’re not good enough or trying hard enough, and yes we start and quit things very easily 😭😭 but I’m 160lbs down, naturally and sustainably. I promise it can be done 😭😭
The muscle mass loss on ozempic is thought to be in line with that of someone who got gastric bypass. Ozempic can make you very nauseous so getting enough food is difficult. So it is challenging to get enough food to not burn through both muscle and fat. Not a doctor, but that is my understanding from when I researched it. I considered it for PCOS but ultimately settled on metformin since it has been used for that purpose for longer. It really is critical to understand how these medications will affect your health though.
I love Beatrice.
I think alot of people lose weight then gain some of it back, which is honestly not as bad as it sounds
Me for example, i was almost 200lbs lbs in highscool. In college, i started exercising alot more, and counted calories too. I got all the way down to 125lbs. After college, i didnt have time to be active. I no longer walked to class everyday and stopped recreational sports. Within a few months, I ended up gaining back and settling around 140-145 lbs. Been there for about 2 years.
Im not at my lowest weight, and thats ok. I might not look "as good" as I did at 125 lbs, but im still more confident, have much better cardio, and feel healthier than i did at 200lbs. I jog about 4 miles every week, do home workouts on yotube, and do yoga every single week and i feel great. Honestly, im at a point in my life where my goal is to gain muscle and improve my cardio and flexibility more than simply weigh as little as possible.
Ozempic has only been approved for 7 years, not 18. Kind of a major difference 🤦🏻♀️
She’s referring to exenatide, the precursor to semaglutide. Glp-1s have been in development since the 80s. The first glp-1 was approved for use in the US in 2005. Since then there have been exenatide, liraglutide, semaglutide, trizepatide, the up and coming retratrutide. So yes, they have been approved for 19 years.😘
@@wallflower234 That's an illogical conclusion. And obviously, I was referring to semaglutide specifically since she states that Ozempic has been approved for 18 years and compares it to MJ only having been for 2. That statement is simply not true -- and the underlying GLP compound for Ozempic (semaglutide) hasn't been approved for 18 years. She also doesn't distinguish between single and dual agonist so if that was the distinction she was trying to make, such effort also failed. It's too important of a topic and conversation to be cavalier or provide misleading information on.
It's also an extremely important distinction because else we wouldn't have the financial burdens around Ozempic/Wegovy (you can look up the patents but it doesn't expire until minimally 2031). She didn't say GLP-1s have been used for 18 years, nor was that the context of her video. Clearly she wasn't doing a video on the other glps. She doesn't bring up trulicity, byetta, or victoza. I'll stick with the common names so others can understand the context.
I was on it for a year, it made the food noise go away completely, which was awesome. However, after losing about 22 pounds it “didn’t work” anymore. i lost ALL interest in food, and eating made me horribly nauseous. You know what I could eat unlimited without nausea? Candy and chips 🤦♀️ So any progress stopped and I became malnourished.
Took me a year of taking supplements to get back to healthy levels 🤦♀️🤦♀️ ofc I gained everything back
TRUE!!
I've recently started meds and the Dr says she has patients that will watch there weight when the get low and go off the meds and will start a low dose of the start gaining and stop again when they get back in check
With rapid weight loss you DO lose lean muscle mass. This is why its so important for WLS patients to try and meet their protein goals. I've had WLS and am a year and a half (almost) out, and its HARD to meet those goals! My concern with the medications is how many people are actively working on making the lifestyle, activity, and diet changes that are needed long term to maintain that loss. If you stop the medicine, and now have an appetite again and go back to your 'old ways'... then all of it was for nothing. Years PRIOR to my surgery, I went from 350 pounds to 215 through diet and exercise alone (I did go a bit lower than that for a time but that was my weight on the day I had WLS, so I'll go with that) and maintained that since 2016? - but it takes consistency and a total lifestyle change.
Losing weight is hard, no matter how you do it. It requires patience, and dedication, and consistency and ... FORGIVENESS when you have a bad day. I'm not familiar with that content creator but I hope she finds the path that is best for her, and leads to success.
that '95% will gain it back' statistic is wild to me, if it is true, it would likely just be because it was measured in a clinical environment, people who lost weight as part of a study, who then leave the study and go back to eating how they always ate. Let's face it, people who lose weight in the real world outside of these studies aren't asked how long they've kept the weight off for, it's not measured in the real world. This is just speculation, but it makes sense in my mind! Though I'm sure this is just a number constantly regurgitated by FA's rather than an actual official figure
Ozempic can be great for some people, but it can have severe side effects which everyone who is thinking about taking it should seriously think about.
Unfortunately I had severe side effects during the 7 weeks I took it.
During the entire time of taking Ozempic I felt extremely tired all the time (had to take several naps during the day) and also experienced brain frog, which made life immensely difficult. Going to work was hard, being active was impossible (I was to tired for it) and I also didn’t have the energy to play with my daughter which upset me the most. After 5 weeks of being on Ozempic I suffered from a gallbladder inflammation, which can be a side effect of Ozempic. I reduced the dose, but gave up on Ozempic after week 7, because the inflammation got worse and I was at risk of having to go under the knife for a gallbladder removal, which I didn’t want. All in all I only lost 2 pounds in 7 weeks which was really bad for all I went through.
There's no way she's not losing weight on purpose. That's ridiculous. She will feel so much better in her body, in everyday simple movements, in every single way when she gets down to a healthy BMI. I hope she gets the help she needs and is able to feel that way. It's sad to see people struggle with constant failure.
You're totally right because if you got loose skin surgery and documented it, I'd definitely be watching! I think it's absurd to say you're just holding on to it for views 😂 that would be a stupid ass reason.
My doctor said that one of her patients who was not morbidly obese but overweight and took it is now in a wheelchair. Skinny fat is a thing and losing muscle as you age is not good for women. No way...I will never take it with the nightmare stuff I hear....I had 50 pounds to lose and I am down 16 by eating around 75 to 100 carbs a day with a 1300 to 1600 calorie and getting walks in....26 to go. 😊 and no naseau or stomach issues..in fact I feel great. :)😊
Goodness I felt her with the rant around 19 min where she said her body betrays her any time it gets and hormones are kerflunkled 😅... when i heard that ozempic can increase chance of thyroid cancer I said hard pass .. my dr wanted to know the exact kind of thyroid cancer cause it's specific I'm like ehhhh with this being such a new drug theu don't know that yet
Dang I am subbing to this lady because yeah it's like looking in a mirror .. good or bad thing feel that
Ozembic and similar drugs have been around since the earky 2000s.
What she said at 28:12 hits hard.
As an obese person, I cant see myself taking the weight loss drugs either. I prefer fasting (18-20hrs/day). Somehow that seems more sustainable. And it's supposed to have a lot more health benefits. I think both can have a rebound effect but I feel safer fasting.
My mom is about to start Ozempic and I am so worried it will negatively impact her health. Imo she is not overweight enough to warrant such an extreme tactic but I just hope her dr is on top of it and has given her all the info she needs. She will not listen to anything I say.
It is toxic waste.
Is she diabetic?
30 extra pounds of fat is obese. That can lead to T2D and much more. She can always get off it. I knew someone in their 60's who took monjuro for months and still had cravings all day and night. She didn't lose a pound. She was also a T2D. It's different for everyone.
Has anyone come out online or in studies, etc about side effects or how damaging ozempic (and the other ones) can be for people who shouldn’t really use it? I know people with diabetes need the medication, so obviously it helps them.. but i can’t imagine it being the most helpful for everyone, considering medications work differently in each body. What happens to those who take it to lose weight so fast in the long run? Like what if they end up going into organ failure in the future, etc? Or they gain the weight back if they don’t have a good relationship with food? Etc.
I’m not the smartest or pay too much attention so.. i don’t know if this makes sense 🤷🏻♀️
Some medication does deplete muscle. I was on a medication that caused weight gain and depleted muscle 😤
If someone's giving it in a spa it's probably compounded, not FDA approved, and not real. Real GL-P1s will cost about 1000 a month unless you have T2D and insurance coverage.
That "self destruction" is the ADHD. The "you never end anything" is a trigger for any adhder because we've been told that our whole lives. I don't think her ADHD is being treated correctly.
bro!
Losing muscle on these meds I nothing to do with the meds but everything to do with rapid weight loss. Whatever kind of rapid weight loss you have you will have muscle loss.
I have heard that if you microdose glp1 you will lose weight and have no side effects. You have to find the right doctor who will work with you to find the exact microdose that is good for you. Then you have to find the right pharmacy to make it for you, and it costs way less than these expensive drugs that have all these side effects because they overdose you.
I actually think when you down to it, most people probably do think everyone should just do whatever is best for them. We just don't hear from them because the internet rewards extremism.
I just think personally trying to lose weight. Doing cardio eating well is more important than just giving up.
I think even if you remain overweight , the fact that you are trying is better than not moving at all and eating crazy amounts of calories a day.
I was following this chick but she was always changing what she was doing and never stuck to something sustainable and enjoyable.
I mean this in the nicest way possible but you two look like twins 😂 I wasn’t wearing my glasses and genuinely thought she was you in a wig or you grew your hair out more
basically, i must be on ozempic
I recently saw a video on youtube where they discussed that the 95% figure is from one study from 19s something. It is not accurate at all. Even the guy who did the study is wondering why this wrong figure still is mentioned all the time.
I'm down from 335 lbs to 271 since January with tracking my food, eating more protein and less sweets. I started evening walks and recently going to the gym as well. But I have to say that I've never had a binge eating disorder or a food voice in the first place. Just too many sweets and very little movement for a long time.
Food noise and the mental side of it is what made me try every single diet in the book, going up and down up and down. These are the only meds (Along with Contrave which is not a GLP1) that have made that noise go away. People need to accept that many people's bodies do not make the correct hormones in the correct amount.
Introducing CENTURINOL.
We block 100 hormone pathways.
You'll forget what food even is on CENTURINOL!
😜
So a modern day lobotomy?
@@Poopiepies Nah. SSRIs are for that.
My thing takes the piss outta Semaglutide.👍

I don't judge anyone for using a drug to fight obesity- it's only relevent to the individual involved. Since it has a limited term use though it might be useful to have some therapy alonside it to make sure the issues which bring people to gain weight are addressed- similair to gastric band surgery etc.
If we view this as a diet, when you go off diet you often gain some weight if not all back. This is ment to be a life long drug.
I think it is absolutely fucking insane that it’s legal to prescribe ozempic or other similar drugs for weight loss… it’s a DIABETIC MEDECINE that REAL diabetics need and now it’s in a massive shortage… so much so that my dad can’t get the medecine he needs. I’m sorry being fat as fuck is not a valid reason to be prescribed this medication. I say this as a fat (formerly very fat) person myself. I’ve lost 85lb while building lean muscle mass, and still have about 40lb to go, all natural weight loss. Calories in vs calories out with regular physical activity
I’m so scared for all of my obese loved ones in this Ozempic culture. It’s insane how people treat it so casually like it’s a thing for everyone to do to lose weight. I know there can be serious side effects and I’m scared of the direction things are going.
Living with obesity is pretty risky. Getting the weight off has huge benefits. Balanced against the risk of mild side effects, or the slight risk of serious side effects is not hard.
As someone dealing with family battling obesity related issues and has lost someone at a very young age due to complications with their diabetes - I don’t think the risk of taking the medication CORRECTLY outweighs the risks of staying obese.
Ubiquity was the right word, there.👍
If she can afford to she should get surgery. She's getting up there in age and the damage is adding up. Even just an extra 25 lbs of fat is harmful. But I don't see anything changing for her unless she gets a RD and inpatient or surgery. She's got chronic obesity and it's been affecting her health for way more than how long she's been on the Internet.
I feel like I live to eat 😢 and I’m not overweight :(
If you’re in your 50s or 60s, remember most of us will be on Medicare & not having coverage for this, and you may live to 90-100, you don’t want to end up obese in old age because you just let Ozempic do all the work but had to stop taking it at 65…
Or.. your in your 40's and your company's health insurance doesn't cover weight loss medication (points to self) I don't know where I was going with this but I wanted to contribute.
Everyone that I've seen using these glp1's doesn't look healthy. Yes, they lose weight and are smaller in size but often look emaciated or "skinny fat". Even bodybuilders that use them to drop small amounts of bf percentage end up having this certain look to them. You know what they say.....if it's too good too be true...well..
Trevor Noah has a really great podcast about Ozempic with good food for thoughts if anyone wants to check it out.
"comes clean" 🙄🤨
The idea that “it does not discern between fat and muscle” is just false.
Thats not a thing. You only lose muscle if you already have a ton of muscle that needs maintenance and youre in a starvation situation with your food intake.
I’m a diabetic on mounjaro and ive lost 25-30 lbs in about 5 months, which is totally healthy (started at 235-240) with no noticeable muscle changes.
What ? Everyone has muscle no matter how big or small you are. Therefore, if you lose weight you will always lose some muscle along with fat. The reason you don’t see any changes in your muscularity is because you have too much fat covering your muscles to notice a difference. But it’s a fact that some of the weight you lost was also muscle.
@@leahgarnes1885also it doesn't just target skeletal muscle.
People need to stop with the gimmicks. All of these overweight people are hopping from one gimmick to the next gimmick and avoiding the reality of weight loss. This is why they never get there.
Someone like me can't play with carbs. Maybe she needs to really zap her insulin resistance by getting serious about blood sugar swings. A month of carnivore killed the cravings and radically improved my nutrition. Still don't eat much in the way of plants. My autoimmune was strongly connected with what all those plant chemicals was doing to my digestion. Harvard declared that keto is good for bipolar and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are also due to malnutrition. My brain prefers to run on ketones, and my anxiety has gotten better. All without drugs.
We grew our brains eating meat. Eat bones or dairy because where else do we get calcium? Don't listen to distorted marketing. Look for the SCIENCE. And then figure out what works for you. Find a blog by someone who explains the science of what is going on with you.
It makes me sad that corporations outright lie to us about losing weight, but not to sell diets. They sell fast food, fake food, food additives. THAT'S where their money is. So they won't say a word about what they aren't telling you. Learning those lies saved my life. Maybe, yours.
I wonder if this will end similarly to the pain clinics of years ago that led to the opioid crisis. Its given out so willy nilly and yet we don’t understand the ramifications of using it off script yet.
It’s also not healthy to yo yo back and forth. So if you’re getting off the medicine and gaining it back that is not good on your skin and metabolism. As well as fat cells. It’s a major stress on the body to lose weight like that so fast
It is a major stress on the body to be morbidly obese. How rapidly you lose weight still depends of what, and how much you eat.
Why would you have to come clean about using a medication to combat the disease of obesity
It's actually for people with diabetes to regulate blood sugar and a side effect is weight loss.
Because society is obsessed with the outdated idea that obesity=laziness. If you go into the support forums of these meds, nearly everyone has a story of being shamed over their medical care. We don’t bring it up because society still thinks it’s okay to treat fat people like absolute crap. Everything from doctors shaming patients for asking, pharmacists refusing to fill scripts, ill informed people claiming you are “stealing” and killing diabetics by taking their meds, to the extremes of being physically attacked while trying to get your script. To “come clean” is to give up your self preservation state and face the fact that medical treatment for a medical condition isn’t something to be ashamed of.
@@livilivinglifeDoes it matter what the original purpose was?
@@holly1159it matters since there was a shortage and people with type 2 diabetes couldn’t get it.
@@alice_rabbit8345 I don't agree with that part. There were other medics before Ozempic to regulate diabetes. Nobody NEEDS Ozempic. it is just more convenient to take something once a week and not every day. But I agree that it was a bad thing that it came to shortages due to celebrities and other off label use
I've been watching Bea's channel now for about 5 years. I see no weight loss at all. Why hasn't she gone to a dietician for help? I know after watching her channel, she does cheat a lot with her food intake. Do cardio for at least 60 mins. a day (??) You have to want to lose the weight to be successful in my opinion. I don't understand.
Ozempic is not the answer.
If you watch the video she’s not taking it and doesn’t plan to
