I haven’t found a solution. TBH, I have considered ozempic. I was not persuaded that it would be a help. From what I read, it causes you not to want to eat and therefore you don’t. I want to eat, but I don’t anyway. So, keeping me away from food would not help.

I will continue as I have been. But, simply cutting out carbs and keeping down calories isn’t always the answer for everyone.

ozempic and similar drugs work mostly by slowing the emptying of the stomach so one stays fuller longer, thus reducing appetite ...

one of the worse side-effects is causing a condition called gastroparesis, means paralysis of the stomach, which is a VERY nasty condition ... some users end up with this condition permanently, even after discontinuing the drug ... and there’s also a possibility of pancreatitis, which can be life-threatening ...
