Good video, I’ll never have to take it but I still find it interesting.

The popularity of such weight loss medication also is bad news for manufacturers of fast food and supermarket processed foods. And all other traditional weight loss books, and companies like weightwatchers etc

People don't like injections, so when pills are abundantly available ozempic, wegovy etc will become even more popular

Glad I'm already ripped.

If the hospital food over there is anything like the UK at least he will have lost a few pounds...

Why would it be bad for junk food?
My doctor is on it and he still eats garbage.

    I'm hearing these weight loss pills and injections are some bad stuff, people puking  and shitting blood and such. Just go to DDP for help.

Isn’t it true that those who take that stuff as soon as they come off of it they blow up twice as big

With time it all comes back as they return to their bad eating habits.

because the effects of the medicine leave the body & it´s obvious that most will get cravings again
Probably take a couple of months though to fully leave the system

[Never1AShow]

Why do they have to stop?  Isn't there a lower maintenance dose?  Same as for TRT

We'll know soon. Most will probably just yo-yo on that shit.

I think we are 10 years away from seeing what this stuff really does to the body and the long term effects it has.  It can't be good.

Reading up on it, it seems to have some other healthy side effects other than just the weight loss. But you’re right, might be seeing commercials in the future “did you take the weight loss pill Ozempic, you could be entitled to money for damages”.

Yes losing weight can be hard. Yes some people have a harder time losing weight compared to otheres.

Yes you will feel hungry in a deficit. Yes you may have low energy at times.

Yes I would love to eat candy, pizzas, pasta, ice creams, and burgers every day. But I don't.

Yes most nights I would love to just order 2 large pizzas and eat a tub of ice cream after. But I don't.

All these people can lose weight if they tried. It may take years for some of them, but they all can lose weight.

I just can't understand wanting to get stabbed with a needle instead of dieting.

And what happens when they stop taking the GLPs? What's the plan for when the hunger and weight comes back? Just go back on the GLPs for the rest of their lives?

Anything to do with drugs can't ever be "good" Just kidding, maybe?

Retatrutide might have some health protective effects but at the same some bad ones too like pancreatitis (which I've had and which is why I haven't dared touch reta). I don't really get why some are so reflexively against certain classes of drugs.

I think you are too smart for some of the simplistic reasoning in your post

True.  Especially in these 20 and 30 year olds that are on it.  I think there will be a ton of health issues popping up for them that can be traced back to this.  And the ones that are supposed to target visceral fat - which is mostly used in HIV+ patients - are now being used like Ozempic as well.
