    I thought about ozempic. I decided to do it the hard way, but those extra benefits for heart health etc are really interesting.

    I’d be keen just for those secondary effects.

      Most people use it for ever because they also don’t change their diet , they still eat the same crap just less of it, and don’t exercise. Once they stop using ozempic they go back to eating more bad food.

      I think using it as an aid to help develope new good habits or reset your body signals is the way.

      80% of my diet calories are very good, home cooked food using real basic ingredients, I eat fresh fruit and vegetables everyday. It’s that 20% of junk that’s bad, bikkies, lollies, occasional desserts, fried food.

      And the side effects, absolutely minimal and unproven . The side effects of obesity are guaranteed, debilitating and often fatal .

        That makes sense. About 5 years ago I did the whole body transformation thing and it was great. But! It was too extreme and I ended up (also due to lockdown) putting back about 40% of what I lost. It can be really easy to get carried away with the whole gym/eating/aesthetics thing, almost to the point of giving oneself an eating disroder. This time I’m trying to be smart by offsetting the junk I eat with healthy main meals and not religeously counting calories.
