Mounjaro huh? Definitely seems like a mountain I wouldn't climb. Very hostile.

To be fair, this is what older people who have been fat their whole lives look like when they lose a ton of weight. Also, that lighting isn't doing her any favors.

To be fair did she ever look healthy at anytime in her career?To not look like that?
Dude that's a pretty massive fucking difference. That's not a healthy looking 63 year old.

Not really.
At least not healthy older people.
She's got that Skeletor look that people get when they either a) take Ozempic or b) lose a lot of weight because of sickness.
If she didn't admit to taking Ozempic I'd think she had cancer or some other disease.

Sounds okay if you follow guidelines. There seems to be this almost religious hang-up when someone must earn and suffer for their weight loss as an act of redemption.

Yes. Penn Jillette is an example.
The ephedra part became illegal/very hard to get, IIRC.

It is very difficult I lived like a slob for a long time and ate like a glutton and it became an extremely bad habit that I've been really struggling to break for a long time.... Mounjaro has helped me tremendously, If that makes me a weak ass pussy according to the judgemental fucks on here and in life then whatever man

Depending on where you live, you can get Primatene tablets, which are essentially just Ephedra and an expectorant.

I can't stand Rosie O'Donnell, but this is how older people that are very overweight look when they lose weight. Of course they are going to have some loose wrinkled skin. I still think she looks much healthier and probably feels much better too.
Yeah I remember for the US it was hard but for the longest time in Canada pure Ephedrine was super easy to get. From a quick Google in Canada it looks like they made it still over the counter but a pharmacists has to give it to you to control people cooking meth with it.

It's not about suffering, it's about the fact that you achieve something with drug assistance that you can achieve without. I think it's absolutely mind boggling how fast people are ready to throw some chemical shit into their body.
Just MOVE for the love of god. It's not that hard. You burn calories and don't have time and/or will think about to eat.

Fat stretches the face hiding wrinkles. She should definitely be strength training, but even without, she is healthier losing the visceral fat suffocating her organs.

Exercise alone will not bring these hunger hormones like ghrelin under control. Like eating a dinner and feeling hungry again one, two hours later.

But time flies when you're having fun(eating delicious food) versus suffering through hunger. Bulking is easy mode for me. It's tough for people without my appetite. Not everyone's easy/hard mode is the same.

You're body will adapt over time. It's an addiction like any other. Stop searching excuses. Restrain yourself.

I never said I'm on Mounjaro. Why go through all the misery associated with weight loss when help like this is available? Long term effects may be unknown, but this is the here and now. And being very overweight is dangerous enough.

I follow a doctor of obesity who put it this way. "Obesity is a chronic disease and the pathophysiology of obesity is an appetite dysregulation in the brain. The medicine helps regulate the appetite to normalize it or at least improve it." It's a tough subject and not everyone can just git gud. These meds help obese people think more like the average person when it comes to food.
It's like people who need meds to combat depression. Are you going to tell them to just think happy thoughts and quit being a pussy? No. I don't think that people who think they need meds to help them stop thinking about food all day should be judged. Heart disease is the number one killer. These meds can't be any worse than being morbidly obese.

How can anyone say she looks good and healthy? She's fucking gaunt. Unrecognizable.
She doesn't look like an exhumed corpse in real life. These are recent screen grabs from Zoom sessions she did.

Putting aside that it's a DRUG and it's not there to heal you but to restrain you…. It's the same principle like… Why go to school when you can just buy the paperwork? It's not about the goal, you learn something in the process. There is a reason why the people most anal about weight are the ones who actually went through the weight loss.
When I see people stuffing themselves I can't help to think of my old dog. The memory of him sometimes almost suffocating because of how fast he was eating was etched into my mind.
Ask yourself: Are you better than a dog?

This can't be stressed enough.
It's not changing your habits, lifestyle, or how you think about food. It's just artificially reducing your appetite, which means that when you go off of it, you're very likely to go right back to the same eating habits you had before.
That's great for drug companies because they have essentially created a forever customer.

Lose weight the way I want you to, in other words. Go on a journey of self-discovery and connect with the person you were always meant to be. This is not a Disney movie. This is lifesaving medicine for people with serious issues. You can still exercise and monitor protein/food intake.
Follow the proper guidelines regarding exercise and protein intake while using Mounjaro. Some will take it seriously, others won't.

I always found addictions pretty nuts. A lot of people with various addictions dont exactly look rich. A lot of them look like disasters with a crummy job or being broke.
How anyone can still muster the effort to do dumb shit while going even more broke is insane. You'd think someone would look at their bank account and say fuck it. Time to cut back on eating so much, smokes, drugs etc...

whatever we are doing is not working and every day the problem is getting worse. at this point glp1 drugs are the only hope we have to save the obesity crisis in the US

The incredible thing is that weight loss is far from the only benefit of Mounjaro. Reduced inflammation is the big one.
1. Blood Sugar Control (Glucose Regulation)
1. Blood Sugar Control (Glucose Regulation)
- Lowers fasting glucose and post-meal glucose spikes.
- Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces HbA1c (long-term glucose marker)
- Significant drops in:
- Blood pressure
- LDL cholesterol and triglycerides
- Inflammatory markers like CRP
- Current trials (SURPASS-CVOT) suggest a likely reduction in major cardiac events.
- May become a preventive tool for heart disease, even in non-diabetics.
- Reduces fatty liver (NAFLD/NASH) by improving:
- Liver enzyme levels (ALT, AST)
- Intrahepatic fat content on imaging
- Possibly prevents progression to fibrosis/cirrhosis in metabolic patients.
- GLP-1 and GIP receptors are found in the brain.
- Animal studies suggest:
- Improved memory and learning
- Reduced neuroinflammation
- Possible benefit in Alzheimer's disease (GLP-1s being trialled)
- Human trials for tirzepatide and cognition are early-stage.
- In women, helps reduce insulin resistance, androgen levels, and restore ovulation.
- GLP-1s may also modulate appetite-regulating brain circuits that overlap with sleep regulation.
- Tirzepatide may lower risk indirectly via weight loss and reduced inflammation.
- Direct effects on tumour pathways are still being researched.
that list sounds too good to be true, I feel like we're missing asterisks on every single line.

I know. Plato once wrote that with knowledge comes understanding. I've been reading about this stuff for a long time now. Most clearly haven't put in the effort.

We've known for a while about these benefits thanks to metformin. The problem is that it's an old drug and has been generic for a longbtime, so there is little incentive for pharmaceuticals to conduct big (and expensive) studies since they wouln't have any exclusive rights over any benefits it may find

I was actually doing minimum dose metformin for longevity exactly for this reason, before Mounjaro. Wasn't advisable to stack them since they do the same thing for blood glucose.
So GLP-1 does that, but also the brain thing that makes you eat the right amount and right kind of food.
