I went on a holiday with a guy who was on this. He was vomiting all the time but he was happy with it because it was helping him to lose weight. I asked him why don't you try to change your diet and exercise more, he said this is easier. You take a shot and you don't have to make changes in your lifestyle, but he also believed that once he gets to his desired weight level that's it. People seem to forget (or ignore) the fact that once you stop taking it, your weight will go back to where it was before if you don't make any changes to your diet and exercise habits. People love it because it's an easy, quick fix. They don't think about long term effects

I completely understand we don't have full data for decades although we do have 20 years data for Semaglutide. The side effects for morbid obesity ate often high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, joint pain, etc. Many of which can kill. So, pros and cons have to be carefully considered.

I have EIGHT patients who have gone from Morbidly Obese to Normal BMI. All of them were Diabetic and are now in remission. I also have over twenty patients who have lost virtually nothing on the drug. Difference? The first group described the feeling of insane constant hunger that disappeared when taking the replacement hormone. The second group all said they are emotional eaters who know they are full and really don't ever feel hungry. It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a medical reason for some obese patients .... They are missing important saiety based hormones. Personally, I take the drug for Diabetes. I am also now in full remission after a year.

People did not just evolved to get hungrier for no reason, nonsense. It's more likely the junk food gut bacteria telling their brain to eat more and more. The medical reason you mentioned stem from their lifestyle One of the most important thing that people never talk about is muscle mass. The world is becoming more sedentary. Having muscle mass can burn off significant amount of calorie despite eating a lot.

Obesity has always existed ..... But mainly among the wealthy. Difficult to overeat, even if you are desperately hungry, if you only have enough money to buy enough food for one small meal a day. Had a Great Grandfather who was very poor .... He was extremely thin and lived on a slice of rough bread for breakfast at 5.00am and a bowl of porridge at 9.00pm. He made his money as a "day and bone" man and initially any spare money went to look after his horse. Eventually, he made enough money to be considered middle class and had a stable of 8 horses. By the time he was mid-50's he was obese. The actual reason obesity is rocketing is the cheap availability of junk and poor quality food which people full up on. What is also interesting is that those taking the drug and losing weight have found that their taste buds changed within days of starting the course. I was heading report after report that they had no interest in fried foods ..... Sugar? Yes, but they were driven to eat fresh sugars such as fruit rather than cake or biscuits. One told me .... "I haven't eaten any crisps (chips) in a year. They just don't interest me". However, those who took the drug and didn't lose said there had been no changes in their tastes.

My diabetic sister has a hard time finding her prescribed GLP1 as pharmacies are sold out to weight loss, plus it's very expensive!!

There is one danger in using these drugs that wasn't mentioned in this video. Many people regain the weight they've lost once they stop taking the drug. That would appear to end up back where they started but that is often not so. When going through that people will tend to lose some fat and some muscle on the way down, but put on mostly fat as they regain weight. The loss of muscle mass as a proportion of total weight means they can be substantially less healthy than when at the same weight as before started. That said, I am delighted and amazed at the results of using this drug PLUS some moderate but regular weight sessions in the gym. It is worth noting too that the same caution applies for ALL methods of losing weight, i.e. unless efforts are made to preserve muscle mass while losing weight you'll end up less healthy than before if you return back to your starting weight.

This feels like a promotional infomercial for these meds.

The fact that there are children who are immobile is so scary.

Tirzepatide changed my life, I’m finally able to exercise daily. I feel good about myself and my image. My cholesterol has improved. There are definitely side effects to every medication but it’s been worth it for me personally. I don’t plan to stay on the med my whole life.

Another great documentary. Have watched several shows on Ozempic & this is the BEST I have come across so far. I love watching documentaries & find DW puts out the most unbiased documentaries. I like their style of reporting the topic as a "matter of fact" with lots of interviews from experts & a good balance of opposing views, and let the viewers make their own decision re their stance on the subject matter (Support or Against on controversial matters). I, especially appreciate experts admitting they don't have all the answers (as of yet). Most documentaries out there today try too hard to sway viewers to their point of view, which creates mistrust (my opinion). My guess is probably because their shows are funded/sponsored by entities with an agenda to sway public opinions. I wish all documentarians could be more unbiased in their reporting like DW. Documentaries should be informative AND unbiased, otherwise it becomes another "sales show" or "propaganda".

My husband finally got on Ozempic after begging his doctor for a year. Started losing weight (5’6, 260lb, 79years old). At first he lost 30 lb but then he started eating even more, gained some of the weight back. I don’t ask how much. He is an emotional eater and suffers from depression. Doctors don’t take the time to find out what causes overeating or any kind of addiction. Miracle cures are convenient for doctor and patient. Except there is no such thing as a magic pill .

Eventually, I switched to Contrave weight pills bcoz saxenda was too fussy for me (requires refrigeration and buying needles). So far, Contrave has better effect on partially suppressing my cravings to consume large amount of snacks and sweet drinks.

I'm too poor, so I take a daily doze of Lizzo.

Is it merely an appetite suppressant? Or something more?

It mimics the hormone GLp-1 and slows down the emptying of the stomach. Tricks the brain into believing you are full, leading to smaller portions and less food obsessive thoughts.

It a trick drug. It tricks your body hormones that you are full. You can kinda do the same with drinking a glass of water (but not as effective).

I wish I invested in Novo Nordisk and Nvidia earlier. I knew about both companies.

I was on the lowest dose for 2 months and lost almost 20 pounds. I’ve been off it for a month and I just fluctuate like 2 pounds of water weight 😅

So basically: - Don't consume more calories than you burn. - Your body may work slightly different meaning you need to consume even less then your sister to maintain or lose weight. - Don't try a miracle cure because there is none and the long term effects are unknown. Honestly, I'd like to see the food these people consider normal, because I guarantee you most of it is either heavily processed or full of sugar. And *THAT* is why you are taking on weight. You will not get fat on a normal portion of (boiled) chicken, boiled vegetables and boiled potatoes. You just won't unless you are a tiny minority with a genuine medical condition.

There are no shortcuts. Only proper nutricion , a healthy life style and exercise can be the answer .

Easier said than done, my friend. I don’t think those who lack the willpower to follow your advice deserve to stay obese. Finally we have something that can help them, isn’t that great?

I’m type 2, used 7 pins, was a1c 8 now a1c 5. Tip: when finish chewing your food you can swallow or spit. Swallowing makes you fat.

Finally major news media saying at least some truth

HFCS. I know Europe banned it but it'll take 15 years to see the results.

I wonder if it may be more effective long term on younger people, since their bodies and brains are not as set in their ways.

It is very much a societal thing. In the US my BMI hovers around 30 and any time I lose weight requires huge amounts of effort. But every time work sent me to Germany I'd just start losing weight without really trying. Averaged a loss of 20 lbs (9 KG) over 3 months every time I went over. Lots of walking, less over eating, but significantly higher beer consumption :P

In the US we have an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. I don't see any negatives in the use of GLP-1 agonist peptides when compared to the very real effects of the latter afflictions. They kill untold numbers in the US every year. I've seen too many personal stories where people are just better in every way after losing weight. Then adding excercise to "bridge the gap" and ween off of the glp=1 peptide. People with high BMI but high % of muscle mass will not experience results anywhere near people who have the droopy builds and low muscle mass content. Those folks drop weight at a rapid pace. But diet and exercise is always better than exogenous assistance. When you break into a closed loop feedback system you WILL change things. Regardless of how small, you're changing things.

Not the "documentary" I expected from DW.

Why are people gaining weight so easily, why for me it s so impossible?

Because everyone is different- i eat my feelings, and was forced to clear my plate as a kid, so i had to learn what feeling 'full' actually feels like. Some people have it the opposite way, they get fuller easily or lose their appetite when stressed or not feeling great mentally 😊

A bee sting or a wasp sting can trigger a cascade immohealth benefits.. research the bee's and insects. Look at them appreciate them.

Obesity is not a disease, but rather a symptom of an unhealthy diet. Constant abuse of carbohydrates which are not essential nutrients for humans leads to weight gain over time and eventually type 2 diabetes. Use of drugs is a temporary solution that may have results initially, but because dietary changes and habits are not changed patients will gain the weight back once they discontinue the drugs.

I never thought i would live long enough to see my personal dietetics become a modern day solutions for obesity people.. but at the end of the day its just diet manipulations, nothing more nor nothing less..

Remember OxyContin ? Here we go again 😮

Losing weight is not about niche diet, its a change of lifestyle.

...or you could just eat right and exercise...but noooo...

Nice loop! Food industry feed Pharma. Pharma feed food industry 🤑

basically this will make your body starve but your mind thinks you are full wow so healthy

No, it regulates satiety. Doesn't mean you starve. Whether you starve will depend on the dose.

Your mind doesn't actually register being full. It's your stomach and your brain that does that. Your mind has nothing to do with it. If you tamper with that process with medication, you're going to do yourself a lot of harm.

Weed actually helps me lose weight I jus get stoned when I’m hungry instead but somehow it’s still illegal here but this shit is legal, and fruit vegetables and lean meats are expensive af

fantastic for diabetes fasting

Eating carnivore style does the same thing as these GLP1 drugs. it quiets the food noise in my head, I stop eating when I'm full, and I don't feel hungry for long periods of time (I practice intermittent fasting). I am a diabetic. I tried five drugs besides insulin under the care of an endocrinologist and i cannot physically tolerate them. The last one I tried, Jardiance, put me in the ICU for four days with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Idk cause my girl was only recommended 4 months of ozempic. Others are being recommended for the rest of their lives. Yikes 😬

This will backfire big time & overwhelm an already very burned out health care system!!

Sometime it occurs to me that some people decide to lose weight just to renew their wardrobe 😄

Whole plant based diet with little or no oil really works to lose weight. Please look into this if ur struggling with weight problems.

Make junk food illegal like drugs!! But the billion dollar food companies will lose their fortunes! The types of “foods” work literally like drugs ,never satiate you and are addictive !

You gained weight with bypass surgery? Didnt they made your stomach smaller?

It so strange to here people say a urge to eat the whole time!! I really think eating & going to the toilet is a total anoianhse makes me angry I am hungry or I need to go to the toilet.
