How about banning Ozempic entirely?

No, this is sensible.


It is a powerful jab,
So women must not use it,
If they become pregnant.

Damn, now there's no safeguard against us congratulating women for expecting when really they've just been getting hefty. :fist:

That's a disgusting headline.

No Mock it is true.

To keep the weight off, you need the Jab (soon to be a pill)
You have to stay on it forever.

We need to be encouraging these people to lose the weight naturally, not to be hooked on Ozempic forever imo.

Sure
But in the meantime, that headline is True

They have no evidence for this, it's a wild generalisation. I have a friend who's lost more than five stone on Mounjaro. She stopped at the beginning of December and her whole relationship with food has changed. She feels good about herself and thinks positively about what she's going to eat, making good choices whereas before she would eat for comfort. Of course it depends on the person, but they really can't have enough evidence to make a claim like this.

That's like saying, we need to tell gambling addicts to stop betting. We need to tell alcoholics, just have the one drink.

The majority of users pile on 10kg after stopping taking the jab.

What is that majority? And what's the evidence for that. I've only heard good things about fat jabs. Of course, stupid people won't use them as they should be used... but not everyone's a stupid person.

I don't believe overweight people are all stupid, the vast majority can follow a regime of medication in the correct way. It's telling to me that they've used to illustrate their article with a picture of an overweight woman who bought fake black market jabs, and who has nothing to do with the stats they're quoting.

Overweight people are the last group of people who can be openly insulted without lefties crying and wringing their hands. I've seen it happen, and the woman I've seen it happen to is now happy and a normal weight for her height. But the press says the jabs don't work...

[Vanessa]

No thanks! Neither is appealing to me. I'll stay as I am.

[Glenn.]

I know a few people who have successfully lost weight and kept it off using this. Another example of how the media likes to demonise sections of society.

[BBXX]

I know of success stories and of stories where they've regained the weight and it's entirely dependant I think on why you're overweight and what you do while on the jab.

If you're overweight because of your diet and you don't change eating habits while losing weight then of course when you come off the weight will go back on. For others it'll be a different story. It seems pointless generalising when everyone is different.

[Parmy]

Some will use it so they can get fat twice.

I saw footage of Serena Williams yesterday


She was a big boned girl tennis player a few years ago … with big heavy legs


Now she’s got a figure like Sinitta !!

My point is could you imagine a Media article encouraging gambling addicts or alcoholics to stay addicted to their addiction forever? People would be going mad and rightly so.

We still don't even know the full effects of what Ozempic does to the body long-term, I personally think that it's highly irresponsible that anyone would want to encourage this.

Congratulations to your friend btw Livia.:blush:

I'm so proud of her. She did exactly the right thing, used the meds then built that success to change her lifestyle.

It's food that is the addiction for some. The meds cut down the continuous brain signals that they're hungry.

Sugar addiction and chasing carbs ?

That's interesting information.

I didn't know that Fat-Jab drugs could do that.

Interesting.. surely there are other things they can block the brain signalling..like gambling addiction etc.:shrug:

[Glenn.]

It’s good for stopping smoking apparently

[Livia]

I think the main thing about these drugs is they are to be used for a limited time and that time should be used to change your lifestyle.
