My issues with bf are similar. Consulted with 2 endocrinologists and am on a very strict low calorie, low carb diet but it extremely difficult to lose fat. They both recomended a 1,000 calorie diet. Then I went to my primary care and began taking Semaglutide and had very little side effects, after 3 months my gall bladder began to hurt and I stopped taking it. One of the side effects listed under the "Warnings and Precautions" section of the product insert is Acute Gall Bladder disease. I have about ready many successes with Semaglutide and this was also suggested to me by Defy. I will probably try Semaglutide again in a few months.Follow my story. After 7 years going back and forth on TRT, I noticed that my insulin resistance got worse, I went to several doctors and nutritionists and I couldn't reduce my bf.
I started Ozempic in Jan/22, in 3 months I lost approximately 8kg of fat and gained 2kg of muscle, according to bio impedance, on a 1880kcal diet. From my experience, I believe that the effects on weight loss go far beyond the decrease in appetite, apparently semaglutide acts strongly on muscle sensitivity to insulin. I say this because I tested the same diet without semaglutide and the results are disappointing.
Side effects: strong fatigue, bad post-workout recovery and very severe constipation, I went 1 week without a bowel movement and I had a fecaloma, but I managed to solve it at home with a suppository. I spent a whole day in "labor", lol.
I noticed that I aged a lot during use. All my white hairs and wrinkles came out after using it.
After 3 months I stopped using it and felt a strong increase in appetite and I made a lot of mistakes with the amount of carbs, I gained everything and a little more. One of the doctors I consulted has had impressive results combining glp1 analogues with Keto Diet, something that makes it easier to get off the drug, since it tends to increase insulin levels.
If, insurance companies started treating Obesity as a medical problem vs.being critical relying on outdated thoughts, we wouldn't have to take treatment into our own hands.The high price of Ozempic is pushing many to unregulated, copycat drugs for weight loss
Some compounding pharmacies are offering what they say are generic versions of the drugs, which have soared in popularity for weight loss.www.nbcnews.com
I am at 205 with the goal of 185 and am considering Semaglutide but have some cardiac issues, ie/ pacemaker. and wonder if it would be wise. Do you have any information. I did have a good experience with fasting. eating between 12 and 6pm only vegetables, protein and fruit. lost about 5 pounds a week and may just do that again.$900 a month???!! I pay $180 for a 3 month supply through a compounding pharmacy! Need more info let me know… Been on Semaglutide for 7 weeks now have lost 5 pounds so far. I lift weights and cardio 3x week not a competitive bodybuilder but would like to lean out some I’ve always been a chunky kind of guy
Starting weight 220
Goal weight 185
For me TRT worsens insulin sensitivity too much. Last year I was only able to lose weight on TRT with ozempic, as I said in my previous report.I am at 205 with the goal of 185 and am considering Semaglutide but have some cardiac issues, ie/ pacemaker. and wonder if it would be wise. Do you have any information. I did have a good experience with fasting. eating between 12 and 6pm only vegetables, protein and fruit. lost about 5 pounds a week and may just do that again.
Sounds like a winner. Gain all the weight back or bowel obstruction....hmmm? I'll take door number 3.Novo Nordisk says stopping obesity drug may cause full weight regain in 5 years

A 7-mg and 14-mg version of oral semaglutide is currently approved for type 2 diabetes under the name Rybelsus.
