What is Ozempic?

Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, was approved in 2017 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in adults with type 2 diabetes.

 

Ozempic is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. It is not approved for weight loss, but some physicians prescribe it to be used for weight loss.

 

How does Ozempic work?

Ozempic works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As those hormone levels rise, the molecules go to your brain, telling it you're full. It also slows digestion by increasing the time it takes for food to leave the body. This is similar to the effect of bariatric surgery.

When using Ozempic to treat diabetes, weight loss is a common side effect. It is designed to be taken long-term.

 

Does Ozempic work for weight loss purposes?

The active ingredient in Ozempic, semaglutide, does work for weight loss, according to research. It's important that people continue to make lifestyle changes to help their weight loss, such as eating right and exercising.

 

It's important to note that if you start taking either of these drugs for weight loss, your body may get used to it, establishing a new normal. This can cause your weight to plateau. Research has shown that if you stop taking Ozempic (or Wegovy), it's likely that you will gain back the weight you lost.

With the recent rise of Ozempic in mainstream culture(especially celebrities such as Oprah, Kelly Osborne, Amy Schumer, Khloe Kardashian, etc. giving positive opinions on the pharmaceutical), do you feel happy to see these public figures who were once bigger, be skinny? 
 

Do you believe that more people should take Ozempic for weight loss?

Please lets not put

 

weight-loss caused by Ozempic in the same category as weigh-loss by better diet and workout.

 

Two completely different things.

 

 

 

Also, if it makes you happy that celebrities are loosing wight cause of Ozempic, it is time to evaluate your life and priorities.

[Bewitched]

Only for celebs that are actually overweight

As a society, thinness has always been the beauty standard and many people are saying that certain celebrities look better when they still have the same face, when it's just the weight

If we speak honestly, looks doesn't stop at the face, so yes ?

I gained a few kgs due to Covid's lockdown and had go through diet and regular exercise to lose it. It took hard work, determination, and multiple relapses before I could reach my desired physique. I don't care what people do with their money and body, but Ozempic for weight-loss feels like cheating to me. 

[Princess Aurora]

I'm confused by the question. What am I supposed to answer? 

[Last Boy on Earth]

Don't really care just think it's funny how not long ago the same people who were preaching about body positivity and accepting their own bodies as they were went running to get rid of said body as soon as there was an easy option lol

If anything the stark mass-slimming going on has triggered my body dysmporhia and ARFID tendencies. I've been actively working on it since the start of last year and this has thrown a wrench in my efforts. Idk it's just been wild to see so many transformations while I'm going in the opposite direction. I think it's good for people who struggle with weight and obesity to have this treatment, but see it just become another capitalist tool in the beauty industry is not good for society at all

[єѕℓαм]

To each their own ig 

but for me i like to workout and it's not just for staying fit but it's also a stress reliever and i actually enjoy doing it

[Mordecai]

The thing is all these people on ozempic are eventually going to gain the weight back unless they're on it for the rest of their lives because it's not a sustainable form of weight loss. It's great in the short term but in the long term it won't last

I just discovered that ARFID was a thing maybe a week ago and god I'm scared to go down the rabbithole, I have had an unhealthy relationship with food quite literally since I was an infant

[Cain]

Other people's bodies (that I'm not having sex with) are never on my mind

[New Edition]

honest question but if you're diabetic is it safe to take ozempic?

That's who the drug was made for 

[BionicWooHoo]

Rich ppl have been doing lipo before ozempic even became a thing. What's the difference? 
 

Personally wish they invested that research into like bulking for the gays. Right now the gays just have steroids that will give you heart attacks. Ozempic would do the opposite of what I want bc I want to keep putting on muscle 

[Eglė]

Less food for me when we eat the rich

 

[Onyxmage]

I think people should do whatever they need to do to be healthy. Most celebs are literally thin already but they use it to be insanely thin which is creepy IMO. However im not against using it to get to a normal body weight. Im not overweight but I have been in the past and if it wasnt so expensive I might think about doing it. THEN AGAIN you can literally get the same results by just not eating so much  . 

[Pendulum]

It's not my body so why should I care?

 

 

[PrettyHurts]

i think it's a really dumb idea if you don't need it for diabetes, since its not meant to be taken in the short term. if you're able to lose weight naturally then you should 

[ICLDXU4HS]

The more skinny people, the better! Always.

[Timber]

I don't really think about it, except that maybe it's not as healthy as doing it through diet and exercises. Dunno.
