    That’s what the company behind Ozempic tells people.

    In reality it’s more like telling people “just stop taking coke/meth/heroin”.

      I know people that bariatric treatment like a miracle drug and refuse to adjust, consciously or subconsciously, and I know people that have changed their whole lifestyle and have subsequently enjoyed the lasting success it has brung. No one is saying anything is easy, but you absolutely have to try. Opportunities are there to be taken.

                My diabetes doc thought about prescribing it, so I checked the medical journals (not Facebook or such shit), and what i learned scared the hell out of me. As way more people listen to internet shitheads than medical journals, I’m just relaying the message.

                Key point is, there is no easy way out of Ozempic and friends, despite Novo Nordisk influencers trying to sell that it “just takes some discipline”. Just like it takes just a bit of discipline to get off crack…
