Buy a drug company and pretend all your problems can be solved by taking a pill.

Sick.

Just wait until these weight-loss drugs prove to have serious side-effects in some portion of their customers

The new “WW” will be sued into oblivion

It certainly helps folks lose weight
Have you looked around this nation lately
I’m in Cracker Barrel crossville TN right now with four teen lads heading back from Smokies

75% of the women in here are obese to apron level fat

Men likely 40% are at least a third overweight

People today unlike my youth simply cannot control caloric intake like when I was a kid

And we excuse it

If this helps them why so angry?

Every pharmaceutical is not bad

You ever see death rates pre antibiotics

I could go on

Basically Ozempic works by slowing down digestion.

So.. I guess you must feel constipated all the time?

um... why not just shove less food in your mouth? why is that so hard?

Ozempic is a drug used for type 2 diabetes treatments, because of its newfound usage as a diet drug for people too lazy to eat better and exercise, there is a shortage of it.

The primary people being prescribed this medication for weight loss is gen z females.
Gotta keep those TikTok and OF views coming in. Sorry about your diabetes.

Glad I opted for Fitness Pal this time around. WW is too lax.

Its worse than that — two paragraphs in, you can see them trying to get this generation’s version of “Diet Pills” covered under medicare as “viable treatment”. Sucking up for a payday — right now, the new diet pills (Ozympic being prescribed for diabetes being the exception) are in the same group as Rogaine — a non medical condition drug.

(As an aside regarding the original “Diet Pills”, these were remarketed Benzedrine pills — 100% amphetamine. One of the first of the betrayals of trust between big pharma & doctor medical establishment versus us sick people. After the Big One lot of the pilots, tankers, and navy crewmen became medical doctors on the GI Bill. They remembered the “pep pills” given before operations or missions and the loss of appetite side effect. Bennies were widely prescribed for weight loss. Listening to my mom and aunts talk, it sounds like the ‘50’s had as bad a speed issue with women 25-50 as the opiates are these days with men 40+.)

I’ve come to believe it’s mostly genetic. Some people gain weight very easily, and they struggle to lose it. They don’t even eat very much, and they’re always dieting.

Then, there are people like myself. I can lose weight and get into shape quickly. So, when I gain weight or fall out of shape, it’s 100% my fault.
