But why should they if they don't need to?

I mean, I can see the rationale..."Why waste time at a gym, when I'm already at my desired weight, and can sit home and watch a movie instead?"

Some interesting GLP-1 (Ozempic) data starting to trickle out...

I want to know more about the side effects

They are pretty well known. The class of drugs has been around for a few decades

No such thing as a free lunch. I still think something will eventually

Bummer for all the people hitting the gym to do more strength training. Don't need any more bodies in the gym with me.

I think we all knew this from Mike Waters' sudden Planet Fitness obsession.

FDA took tirzepatide (better than Ozempic/semaglutide) off the shortage list just this week.

Interesting. Didn't see that. Will be interesting how that plays out.

Yeah, kinda a bummer. It happened sooner than I thought it would.

Virginia Ute

9:27am

Yea that's going to be really interesting.. I think the govt will manipulate it

cougfanz

You underestimate the power and greed of big pharma

murrolems

9:25am

For sure. Huge money on both sides. Pharma usually wins but I'm still not

cougfanz

I am not sure that many people really want to lift weights (heavy weights)....

WIGGIN

9:14am

Exactly. The average adult (obese or not) hasn't picked up a weight in years

cougfanz

9:25am

You might be right.They weren't committed to putting in the work before, why now

coolblue

9:32am

Probably, but for females you don't have to go super heavy to look good

lilpenny

9:35am

The thing with weights: you can see progress relatively quickly--especially

I agree with most of what you said with a couple of caveats:

Doctor Rosenrosen

Agree 100% on Cardio/Vo2 for health.

My whole family is on Ozempic

Bexell_Hall

Great interview. I've been watching Casey Means and Petter Attia for years.

coolblue

In what way do they eat like crap? Do you mean small portions of junk food?

Belboz

10:25am

Prior to Ozempic, my family was trying to eat better...

Bexell_Hall

sounds like a mistake. They should be eating a high fiber high protein diet and lift heavy weights.

TN_Coug

1:00pm

But why should they if they don't need to?

Bexell_Hall

1:45pm

They don't know they need to. Their prescriber is failing them.

TN_Coug

I see more the opposite effect. Often people are more motivated to work out

cougfanz

3:39pm

My experience is totally the opposite

Bexell_Hall

3:55pm

Your sample size is wrong, read the first post in this thread

TN_Coug

4:21pm

Yeah, they eat junk but not as much of it and call that a win.

Belboz

1:15pm

I'll be interested in long-term effects

Bexell_Hall

What we do know is that being obese for long periods of time is definitely worse than any of those things you mentioned.

Virginia Ute

2:13pm

For sure. I think its ideal for Obese people.

Bexell_Hall

You said they are “thicker boned,” so I’m guessing they were fat, but in your family that’s not considered fat.

Virginia Ute

Ozempic doesn't remove muscle, weight loss removes muscle.

It's the weight loss that causes sarcopenia.

TN_Coug

3:20pm

100%.. Highlights the issues with the nurse prescribed apps and clinics

cougfanz

3:37pm

That's great if people exercise

Bexell_Hall

3:50pm

Your family wasn't exercising before so I guess I don't get your point

cougfanz

4:03pm

Your small sample size is inaccurate. Read the first post in this thread

TN_Coug

4:20pm

yeah, when people starve themselves, they lose muscle mass.

Belboz

3:58pm

I will say this.....

They could literally be the answer to saving health care and driving down the cost for everyone

Virginia Ute

In my mind, there is a argument for government using eminent domain to acquire the patent from tirzepitide from EL

TN_Coug

11:35am

Seriously, or at the very least stop price gouging the US. Every other country gets it for 15% of what we pay.

Virginia Ute

I know a few Optivida food system reps who were crazy successful.

U are starving yourself but do not receive chemical signals to bother you

claw

11:07am

studies show those chemical signals are faulty in obese people
