Weight Loss Drugs

[Zalezgear]

Once Ozempic is stopped, most people regain much or all of the lost weight because the drug’s appetite-suppressing effects vanish and the body’s natural set-point reasserts itself.
It works while you’re on it, not after.

Option is to take it forever or dramatically alter your life, to include diet and exercise.

Yep,that’s pretty much it. Ozempic works while you’re on it, but if you stop the appetite control goes away and the weight often comes back. Longterm results really come down to diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes or staying on the drug under doctor’s guidance

No reason to go off the OZ if you take it for diabetes, which is what it was created for.

It makes sense the weight comes back. Folks on it have lost most muscle and their basal metabolic rate (metabolism) is much lower. So if you stop, your far worse off than before you started at all, your body burns so much less calories than before (when you had more muscle mass) and now extra calories are piling up alot quicker and wallah. Weight gained back. But now its even worse. If you were 250, lost 50 pounds, half muscle half fat, then gained back 50 pounds of all fat. Yeah your going to gain weight so much easier. Play around with body fat percentage input on a tdee calorie calculator and you'll see the difference

Seems to me like the only way off is incorporating weight lifting and very closing monitor ling calories while mostly protien and start building back muscle without gaining back fat. Then youd be in a good spot.

Look up mind pump show on YouTube. Its the same for folks that didn't take the shots. But the muscle loss is incredibly prevalent in those that take it
