"Wegovy, and Ozmepic are GLP-1’s Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone released by the gut after eating that helps control blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas. GLP-1 agonists mimic the action of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, which helps the body produce more insulin when blood sugar levels rise after eating. This extra insulin helps lower blood sugar levels. GLP-1 agonists can also help with weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing down digestion. " You know what else does this? Resistance/strength training and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper and safer. | |||

I mean, pregnant women were told that Thalidomide was safe to take and look what happened there | |||

" Each time I hear about these weight loss jabs I less I like, how they work and how people think it's a miracle cure. I mean, pregnant women were told that Thalidomide was safe to take and look what happened there " This is very true. There is no quick fix and where a company can turn a profit, it's easy to tap into people's insecurities. I was always a little chunky even with watching what i eat. The carbs feck me up. Ive cut out a lot of the snacking, but even with smaller plates for portion control, i struggle. Still, i wont knock someone's success journey with my caution. Mindset, prep. and meal plans come into play in a big way. We all have an unhealthy relationship with food, whether it's suffering from being overweight or hackng an eating disorder. You have to wonder about people's schedules, we all seem much more busy now. During covid, it was an abrupt stop. 6 years on, and everyone is rushing about trying to make up time. | |||

"god it sounds expensive. is it really around £90 an injection? my concern is what happens in years to come. do we really know the side effects as i get the feeling these so called 'fat jabs' are being used like some sort of plastic surgery or lip and bum job you read about people dying from. i know for some feeling and looking good is paramount but at what cost?" Mounjaro works out at 30 - 60 quid a week depending on what dose you are on. The medication has been around for years to treat diabetes and more recently licensed for obesity. For those of us who spent decades trapped in an obese body, it has proven a lifesaver for many. I've lost 9.5 stone, safely, over 18 months, changed my eating habits and discovered a love of the gym, and have got rid of a number of serious health conditions now I'm not fat. Very little loose skin and my only complaint is that my boobs have shrunk more than I would like! | |||

That's why it's useful and important to be knowledgeable and informed, before starting medical treatments. As you're not prescribed and taking them, it's natural that you'll be less informed than those who are. They are generally safe and very effective, with minor inconvenient side effects, for some users, and it's the actions of the person taking them, that causes the weight loss. They have to do the actual dieting, in order to lose their weight. Only by having changed what they are eating, does the medication support them. | |||

"I'd never go down the weight loss injection line ,I pump enough medications into my body without adding more I need to lose weight and when my thyroid gets undercontrol then I'd do the healthy eating plan which worked for me in the past " once your thyroid medication is right you should find it a lot easier. Are you seeing your GP or have you been referred to a consultant? Gps in my experience have very little understanding of thyroid problems | |||

"Aren’t weight loss jabs cheating?" In what sense? People taking them still need to diet, to shed weight, in the same way that everyone losing weight does, though they have the benefits that the weight loss medication provides. | |||

"Retatrutide (GLP-3) is the only one worth taking Hi. Where can one get this. I sm needing some help with my willpower. Thanks" Yeah, we are on Reta as well as a few other biohacks. It was too expensive so we imported it ourselves. Have to make sure that we're not injecting rubbish into us Like other posts have said, you have to do the work and ensure that you do the resistance training, you consume adequate protein and calories. You must ensure that you hydrate. Most important is that you change your habits and mindset. They are only tools. | |||

" This is what mounjaro fails to do as your still able to live with your bad habits while taking it. Where as retatrutide has side effects if you continue eating high fatty foods, fizzy drinks, takeaways ect. | |||

Plus strength and resistance training comes with its own risks and if reta is done correctly its relatively safe | |||

"It depends on why you're considering taking it, sounds like your doing everything right to start with. It's easy to say, "Just eat in a deficit and lift weights to lose weight." But if you're already doing those things and not seeing any progress especially if you're a woman going through hormonal changes it can be disheartening when you're trying so hard and seeing no results. If you're happy with yourself, that's great. But if you want to lose weight for your own reasons, then go for it. But like all medications, there are risks. All be it associated risks of the latest one seem to be less than the last one but as to how much research has been collected yet i haven't read the papers. Track your calories, pay particular attention to your protein intake keep it high so you maintain muscle mass while losing fat." As someone trained in this area, people who are not seeing any results are rarely being honest with themselves,or others, in this situation. If you are in a deficit and exercising adequately then you will lose weight. There is a tiny proportion of people who have conditions that would cause this not to happen. Generally, whether they like it or not, they are not putting the effort in and using self discipline. | |||

"As someone that is doing it, it is good to keep track of calories and protein " That is definitely the way to do it. It's not fun but it will work for you. | |||

"I'm type 2 diabetic and around 15 st ish. Can't have the jab because I'm on other medication other than metformin " You can still get MJ even if on other diabetic meds to help control blood sugars, however that usually would be because they’re not working as they should | |||

"4 stone in 4 months is way too much to lose" It was a bit surprising, granted, but my GP was happy with it… resting heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol etc are all normal and she said as long as I’m getting the nutrients I need it wasn’t massively drastic… It’s not as though I was starving myself and crashing, and now I’m at my target weight it’s stabilised and hasn’t varied by more than a kilo in the last 6 weeks, as I’ve changed my mindset around food | |||
