1. From UCLAhealth.org: "People dropping pounds on Ozempic are losing not only fat, but also muscle mass. This is a condition known as sarcopenia. As muscle mass diminishes, so do strength, stamina and resting metabolic rate. To combat this, drug manufacturers are racing to develop medications to address the problem. Some are planning clinical trials of drugs that will boost muscle metabolism and metabolic function. Others are exploring medications that would block the signaling pathways that lead to muscle loss".
2. From Cleveland Clinic: "Chronic Diarrhea can cause a number of serious complications, including dehydration (which can be life-threatening, especially with older adults with weakened immune systems), excessive thirst, dry mouth or skin, little or no urination, weakness, dizziness, fatigue, dark-colored urine, malnutrition, organ damage, shock, fainting, coma and/or kidney disease"
3. But they aren't, that's the problem. Why should I eat healthy if I just lost 30 pounds? I've literally heard my sister say out loud "I can eat whatever I want now"
4. I have 7 members of my family. 4 of them are on Ozempic, and 3 of them (us) are not. The 4 that are on Ozempic, are all on Depression Medication, and all have openly expressed it as such. The 3 that aren't on Ozempic, are not, and also exercise regularly. I know thats not a large sample size, nor is that a scientific study. But I know all these people very well, and my belief is that ozempic has been a net negative thing, despite what is shown on the surface.
