Thatâs awful. I guess just changing your lifestyleâs main thing you should do
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but people on these weight loss meds like Ozempic and Mounjaro (Wegovy) (Zepbound) eventually start regaining weight on their own.
These drugs eventually poop out after time.
Thereâs a plateau period then one begins to gain a lot of weight if one is not careful.
Iâve gained over 20 pounds on Mounjaro and my brother must have gained over 30 pounds on Wegovy.
These drugs are not perfect
Its such a trend now. People running out and grabbing them from OTC at pharmacies. Just like minor cosmetic procedures that common salons now offer on every high street.
They have a negative feedback-loop, meaning eventually they stop working - and in no time, that weight is back, and thousands down the pan. But who cares? This âday n ageâ is all about today and your happiness just a purchase away.
Already discovered it within 2 weeks, but with caveats.
It depends on if you plan for it. I had a partial plan in place and it saved me from worse damage, but I wasnât fully in control of the situation because we were camping and I missed taking a pen along with me. Didnât have it for two weeks. Lapse in medication was unplanned.
The big win was that my appetite didnât come all the way back and my new food habits I have worked on helped me sort of manage portion control (hard with wife there) and turn down the very worst food choices.
Certainly. Your way is deffo the best way, and its good âdamage controlâ. But many have used these meds as a short cut or easy fix. The only way to stop the negative feedback loop is to either increase the dose, or withdraw completely for a short period before jumping back on. And its this thats going to catch many off guard and mess them up. Sadly.
Theyâre not an easy fix. The people who think they are donât lose at all. You still have to improve your diet and exercise. Yeah, you have a dramatic first month and then ⌠nothing (except regain). Your body adjusts and youâd better step up or the weight ainât gonna fall off. The math doesnât change. Eat better, move more, or enjoy being called fatso.
Everyone knows appetite returns after. If youâre not prepared then itâs on you.
This I know. But we live in a time where people dont do any homework and just jump onto things with only the quick-fix in mind. Its rife here in London.
Universal human trait. Ever see the movie Marked for Death with Steven Segal? Remarkably unremarkable, but it has one of the best villain lines Iâve used forever since.
You canât cheat the laws of thermodynamics.
