When you work out you gain muscle, which is heavier than fat. You many not lose weight, but are probably losing some fat unless you overeat. If so, it should show in the difference in your measurements.
Working out won't cut it. Do intermittent fasting. Last meal by 6pm. First meal at noon next day ("18/6" fasting). Recommend greek yogurt with frozen blueberries. Then gym 60-75 min later for max energy from berries. Eat high protein meal within an hour after workout, then another smaller meal by 6pm. Guaranteed results within 4-6 wks.
I now eat nothing but Ozempic.
Ozempic steak, Ozempic sandwiches, Ozempic fries, Ozempic milkshake....
Bump
I have a feeling the happy people marching down the street on Wegovy and Ozempic will be signing up for the later class action lawsuits “if you used it between these dates you may be part of the billion dollar settlement but you must register by this date.”
But I wish so much my diet and exercise were not for nothing with my low thyroid in which my thyroid does not grant me permission to lose weight. Even on levothyroxine tablets.
“A Natural Alternative to Ozempic!”
What, Rhubarb-Artichoke Casserole?
Proper diet + vigorous exercise 3-4 times a week over a year and you’ll see good results. It takes time to put on the weight, there is no easy way to lose it.

At best, it should only be used to lose 5lbs every few months.
I’d like to know the name of the microbe.
If you want to lose weight, regulate the carbohydrates. Keep your food natural and only cut back on carbohydrates. You’ll lose weight without using drugs.
The most consistent thing I see in overweight persons is that they eat TOO FAST.
When they are ‘full’ it takes too long for their brain to reflect that & to tell the body to stop.
When they use smaller portions-—they eat so fast that they still are “HUNGRY”.

It’s called ‘stop stuffing your face with food’.
While promising, B. vulgatus doesn’t fully replicate Ozempic’s effects: Mechanism Difference: Ozempic directly mimics GLP-1 and binds to its receptors, providing consistent, targeted effects. B. vulgatus indirectly boosts GLP-1 through microbial metabolites, which may be less potent or variable.How do you like that? Eat prebiotic fibers; avoid processed foods; avoid excess sugar; and consider fermented foods.Human Evidence is Limited: Most studies are in mice. It’s unclear if B. vulgatus supplementation would have the same effects in humans, as gut microbiomes vary widely.
Complexity of Action: B. vulgatus influences metabolism through multiple pathways (e.g., short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), bile acid metabolism), not just GLP-1, making its effects broader but less specific than Ozempic.
Potential Risks: High levels of B. vulgatus have been linked to conditions like ulcerative colitis in some contexts, indicating strain-specific or context-dependent effects.
Practical Implications
To support B. vulgatus naturally, you can:
Eat prebiotic fibers: Foods like oats, bananas, garlic, leeks, mushrooms, berries, and legumes feed B. vulgatus.Avoid processed foods and excess sugar: These disrupt gut microbiota balance.
Consider fermented foods: Kraut, kimchi, or yogurt may support a healthy microbiome, though their direct impact on B. vulgatus is less clear.
However, there’s no evidence yet that dietary changes alone can replicate Ozempic’s clinical effects. Supplements claiming to boost B. vulgatus or GLP-1 (e.g., prebiotic blends like Supergut) lack robust human trials to match pharmaceutical outcomes.
Critical Perspective
The "natural Ozempic" label is partly clickbait. While B. vulgatus shows promise, it’s not a direct substitute for Ozempic’s potency or specificity. Pharmaceutical GLP-1 agonists underwent rigorous testing, whereas microbiome-based therapies are in early stages. Overhyping B. vulgatus risks misleading people, especially since Ozempic’s shortages have already impacted diabetic patients. Claims about natural alternatives should be scrutinized, as they may oversimplify complex metabolic processes.
Two words.
Intermittent Fasting.
If you’re working out but not losing weight that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue, so as you burn some fat and put on some muscle, you will see the results but you might not lose weight.
