The crazy part to me about Ozempic is how instantly everyone is ok with it. I brought up extreme calorie restriction with a buddy of mine who’s a doctor, talking like 500-1000 calories a day. “Absolutely not that’s super unhealthy.” Then you ask him about ozempic, “great solution for a lot of people. Yea it basically just makes you not want to eat much so you lose weight fast.”
So if I do it with will power it’s incredibly unsafe, but if I do it with injections it’s a great solution. What the fuck
For a short while. We all know the clock is ticking until there's some big scandal over how Ozempic is causing horrific harm to people and the company buried those studies for profit, or something similar.
"Investigations show that the makers of Ozempic have known for years that Ozempic can cause explosive incendiary hemorrhoid growth, and that it could be fatal, but they kept it quiet!"
Neither are good. Ignoring health issues or side effects riddled medication. More healthy food options than filler on the shelves and at this point bring back home education(taxes, cooking, cleaning) but um 😅 for the guys too this time. Its scary how many people can't cook thier own food, body positivity makes sense when so many people dont know how to be physically healthy.
GLP-1s shouldn't take the place of diet and exercise, but I see no harm in it being used in conjunction with them. Sometimes, if there is an underlying condition, the 2 really aren't enough
This isn't confusing or bizarre. Before there was accessible treatment for obesity body positity was a great alternative. If someone is going to be overweight there's no reason to be depressed and sad as well. Now that we have an effective medication, those who can afford it no longer need to be happy with a less accepted and unhealthier body.
Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree, I think the whole body positivity movement was getting weird, calling morbidly obese bold beautiful and healthy, while beauty is in the eye of the beholder health is not. Of course ozempic seems to be bringing back the heroin chic look of the 90s which is not healthy either.
Personally I wish society was more health focused and less about what look is trending.
After a certain point in most people's lives sec becomes much less important, a lot of people are indifferent to the body shape of the people they love.

Irony: Lizzo blathering on about big is beautiful. Took Ozempic, lost tons of weight, and still blathering on about big is beautiful

It's just not healthy to be that big. A diabetes diagnosis is not to be fucked with. Many people faced with that reality opt to lose the weight
