24 I would possibly try a pill, but no shots for me. If there is a side effect I don't want it to last for weeks, thanks.

Back in college, when I did not need to lose weight but we would now and then take "Fastin" or something to study. There was an amazing diet pill called "Preludin" or similar, as I did not pay attention to spellings of drugs for college exams...and while I sound like a druggie I only took them a couple of times.

That Preludin pill was awesome! No jitters, but made me feel taller and really great! Bring back that one! As I could use it now for 30lbs or so that I caught during the plandemic.

Eventually, sure. Rival drugs are being developed, which will lower the costs, and the patents will expire, at which time they'll be giving the stuff away.

But will we see $245 per month cash from this deal alone? I'm skeptical.

34 Add "fainting" to the long list of potential side effects mentioned at the end of the commercial.

35 I have mixed feelings about this. Americans subsidizing other countries' lower pharma prices needs to go. On the other hand, focusing on what's become a vanity drug for people with the almost-always-self-inflicted condition of obesity is something I don't care for. Stop stuffing your goddamn face with 10,000 calories a day of EBT-acquired junk food and then maybe we can talk medication.

36 Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer: Ozempic has a boxed warning for the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors based on animal studies. Symptoms include a lump or swelling in the neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath.
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas): Symptoms include severe, persistent stomach pain that may radiate to the back, with or without vomiting.
Gallbladder problems: Can cause severe stomach pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
Kidney problems (kidney injury/failure): Dehydration from severe vomiting and diarrhea can lead to kidney issues. Symptoms include a decrease in the amount of urine, swelling in the ankles, hands, or feet, and unusual tiredness.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): More likely if used with other diabetes medications like insulin or a sulfonylurea. Symptoms include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, confusion, or blurry vision.
Serious allergic reactions: Symptoms include swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe rash or itching, trouble breathing, or a fast heartbeat.
Changes in vision: Especially in people with diabetic retinopathy.

37 I'm on Ozempic not for weight loss (I'm pretty enough already) but for diabetes. I don't know how it works but it's rather disconcerting to just not want to eat. It's like I'm Barney Frank looking at Sydney Sweeney.

I will have to be on it the rest of my life; I liken it to someone with Type 1 Diabetes needing insulin for life, or someone who needs glasses for vision issues.

I have speculated - and I believe research is currently being done - that patients who have Lipedema and/or Lymphedema NEED these medications to treat those conditions. It has been nothing short of miraculous for me and our daughter -

Yeah. One the one hand - obesity costs us all a LOT of money (through gov. funded healthcare and also higher insurance rates for all.)

I agree. This shit is now being used for people looking to lose 25 pounds. I think if you're truly obese you face so many medical problems already, and are likely to die young anyway, that using this shit to lose weight is worth the risk. But it's an insane cash cow and being pushed on vanities who don't want to do the work to lose 25 pounds.

61 And get rid of those mobility scooters in food stores.

62 No need for cheaper groceries if half the country has cyclical vomiting.

Supply and demand.

63 How fat of a Fattie is Ace?

64 You know who's not a bunch of fatties? Ditch diggers, that's who.

65 44 >> Obesity is the biggest healthcare cost in America. Getting people to lose weight is actually a great way to make healthcare cheaper and improve health outcomes.

Eat better. Get the processed garbage out of the food chain. Exercise. Ozempic losses snap back as soon as you stop taking it. It's not a solution. And the mentality of those who will take a pill rather than doing the right thing to correct their problems is how we got here in the first place.

66 "Nausea (most common, reported in up to 1 in 5 people in clinical trials)
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Stomach (abdominal) pain
Upset stomach/indigestion/heartburn"

So basically like a trip to (insert name of least favorite Mexican food chain)

67
Cutting SNAP benefits should have cause the weight loss already.

68 I wouldn't take anything long-term that messes with appetite. "Failure to Thrive" is a bad thing. Anyone know if you can just turn things of-and-on like that all willy-nilly?

69 I tried to get on Mounjaro. The cost was something obscene like $1400 per month, but you could sign up for a coupon and "only" pay $550 or something.

Um, nah, I don't think so. I guess I'll just keep shlepping along toward the day when people start confusing me with the late Sydney Greenstreet.

But there are ways to that.

Outlawing all junk on SNAP and free school meals would be WAY cheaper and likely healthier than popping a pill. Mandating daily exercise in schools for 45-60 minutes daily would also help. I could go on, but there's ways to do it that are cheaper and healthier than pill popping for those without the serious diseases this was studied for.

83 It isn't the drugs, and the possible side effects that disturb me. To the extent that one's physician feels that a particular pharmaceutical is the right thing, that's fine.

84 I am not fat, but even if I was there is no way I would take this drug.

Maybe in a few years when other people have tested it, but this seems very risky, long term.

Also, I think there will be pill forms soon. And more regulated with daily ingestion to reduce shock to system.

85
With Ozempic, don't trust a fart. EVER.

86
Don't both of those drugs have rebound effects if you cease taking them (by rebound, I mean your weight bounces back up)? Making them, then, lifetime commitments and cash flow for the pharma companies.

Only having the government make changes for where they are already paying. And yes, you'd still have fat people, but we will always have fat people. The goal is to reduce, not eliminate. And when government is the payer (like with SNAP and WIC and public schooling) that's the best place for pay.

You would hope what children have learned as kids would continue into adulthood. They'd never have been paid by fed gov the chance to develop an appetite for junk or sloth.

145 There's something about taking short-cuts, aka meds to lose weight that sets off warning alarms in my head. I'm not bragging and God bless people who truly are suffering with weight (although not due to gluttony) but I lost 45 lbs 6 years ago and have kept it off. I did nothing more than count the calories I took in every day and did it in a little less than a year. Again, not bragging, but short cuts - without major modifications to lifestyle, can be dangerous. IMHO.

Because you are being far too aggressive.

157 Open season on Monday and I am dropping my long standing 16 relationship for Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Prices going up and I rarely need it. Going to roll the dice on continuing with VA healthcare. Like a car warranty, I'll probably have a major health problem in January but $11k on premiums every year I'd like back.

158 Maybe in a few years when other people have tested it, but this seems very risky, long term.

By the time I started on it in 2022, Mounjaro had been in testing and trials for over a decade.

I didn't start this without some serious "due diligence". I haven't had any side effects. Well, except for decreased appetite, which was sort of the whole point.

Everyone on the early forums talked about "food noise" being gone for the first time in their lives. I found that to be the case as well

Mind you, when I was a kid/teenager, I only weighed 100 pounds dripping wet. SOMETHING happened to change my metabolism when I hit 18. I had Lipedema and didn't know it.

Ironically, a low-fat, high grain-based diet - like the one that was pushed so long by "experts" seems to have been the catalyst for massive obesity over the past 20-30 years.

Well, in every case, the every action of the pharmaceutical is a 'side effect'. It is up to the physician and patient to make decisions in that regard. I reiterate, it is the wholesale promotion of precription drugs that disturbs me.

160 Fraser got overweight because of a physical injury making exercise a lot more difficult.
It is often one's own bad habits that cause obesity, but not always, and you don't know the backstory behind every person you see.

161 I'm not entirely in favor of these weight loss drugs. Maybe to get started but in the long run they will not get the health benefits of exercise and once off the drug will most likely back to overeating if they don't learn self discipline. Sort of like people that use liposuction and surgeries to remove fat. Doctors need to be telling people to put down the chips get off the couch and start by going for long walks and continually stepping up the level of exercise until you get results.

Pain in the ass I know but it works.

166 When I was at 355 and death’s door, I asked my doctor about Ozempic and got an rx which was affordable due to pre-diabetic dx. Good news, it was effective- I did 3 cycles over 12 weeks at the lowest dose and went keto. Bads news, it was very uncomfortable. No hunger, but significant nausea, couldn’t even stomach the thought of eating for first two or three days, even a glass of water made me puke. Energy levels way down, but exercised anyway to burn fat, maintain muscle. Great news is I lost 100 pounds on it (and another 70 since). Key is maintaining lifestyle changes after you get off. Not saying it was easy for me, but I’d always been an athlete before getting so fat, so it really just felt like returning to my “true” self.

223 Mounjaro completely got rid of my high A1C results and I’ve gotten off blood pressure, metformin, and cholesterol medications. I’ve lost maybe 30-35 lbs on it, but it’s been pretty slowly.

Yep.

I'm not/have NEVER been overweight. Used to be of the mindset "it's just calories in/calories out." Until someone I care very much for struggled with weight for decades. No matter what they did, they couldn't lose the weight. They weren't eating an excessive amount, were even doing things like crossfit 3-5 times a week, and could not lose the weight.

It got to the point where it was physically so dangerous to them that they are paying out of pocket (as ace said, $550 a month with a coupon) for these drugs. It's been a godsend. They've lost 100 lbs on them. Yes, they'll likely have to take them the rest of their life, and as long as they're not experience the worst side effects, that's ok. This price thing helps tremendously. *tremendously*.

246 >> The only time I like Bernie was when he asked the CEO for Wegovy, why is that, sir?

Because the minority of Americans who are net positive economically productive subsidize the whole world. Whether it’s drugs, or the welfare state, USAID, playing World Police, or creating breakthroughs in science and technology.

With drugs it’s pretty simple: if they weren’t cheap, the Europoors wouldn’t be able to afford them, and they’d be more expensive for Americans, or financially unviable.

It’s the same as selling HIV drugs in Africa for pennies.

so you can say that but when I lost a ton of weight, my energy went way up.

Another way to say that is: When I was heavy, I had low energy, which was a big impediment to doing exercise (or most other work) and which in turn made me gain more weight.

Obesity is a syndrome that enforces and expands the syndrome and protects the syndrome from being undone.

248 Mind you, I could always lose weight by starving myself. But I could NEVER lose weight/volume in my lower body (I developed massive thighs and abdomen), and when the weight crept back on, it would ALWAYS go to those areas.

CLASSIC Lipedema, but nobody knew that back then.

The Hell of it is, that the body/s6stem of a person with Lipedema keeps craving more and more "fuel" to keep things going, and it is RELENTLESS.

So yes, there are people who are just fat pigs, but my guess is that more of them have undiagnosed Lipedema.

And FTR, Lipedema is a Connective Tissue Disorder. Go to lipedema.org to find out more about it before you lump everyone into the "Fat and Lazy" category, please.

I'd far rather you try Mounjaro than the fasting honestly

and if you WANT to try the low/no sugar thing, maybe start with liquids. no sweetener in coffee or tea, plain ice tea, no juices. see how that goes first before going the whole way.

but eat whole foods not stuff that is "made" by a massive chemical process into tubes!!!! look for fewer than 20 ingredients lol

Great. Here's the thing, if they truly are "peaceful protesters and media" who are not obstructing or interfering then they should be left alone. However what we keep seeing on camera no less are these "peaceful protesters" swarming and blocking ICE vehicles and physically interjecting themselves into arrests. But that doesn't happen because Carl Sandberg wrote a poem extolling Chicago in 1916.

292 Pharma has a lot in common with software, where developing the “first version” you can sell is very expensive, but every “copy” is pretty cheap. Drugs are typically cheap to manufacture, so you can still profit from selling them at $0.10 /pill, but you need rich people (Americans) to pay $10 /pill to foot development costs, or the whole thing is non-viable.

Selling for $0.10 /pill in Europe makes sense if you’re still turning a profit on each pill, because you’re tapping into a market that you wouldn’t get if you sold for $5 /pill everywhere on Earth.

I had a "done fall out" aka passed out on our stairs once. Right after bedrest for a fx foot. Granted I was so excited to be up again that I did not hydrate, but I also find if I am concentrating on doing something physically I hold my breath. The ED doc, after many tests and brain scans (I have one), said she gets syncope and to lie down (not in the street) with legs elevated. Tighten all large muscles in arms and legs, and take deep breaths.

An exciting time as I could feel myself blacking out while sitting on the stairs. Sent my husband for juice. He returned with cranberry juice to find me with my head back & eyes open. Thought I was joking around and panicked.I woke to see cranberry juice all over the new wood foyer and thought, wth, arterial bleed? Got hauled off by burly paramedics and needed an IV to get my BP up.

Tried that once. Fucking disgusting, like Stevia. Ruins whatever you put it in.

323 I worry that fucking with one's endocrine system is a bad idea.

324 I've been trying a 36-hour fast once a week, and eating only one main meal on other days. Weight loss has still been fairly slow. Steady, but slow. I'm determined to avoid any kind of drugs. I gave up smoking seven years ago, and it turned out not to be all that difficult, so I'm hoping that a permanent reduction in the volume of food intake will be manageable.

The fasting is mostly just mind over matter. And I feel significantly more energized at the end of a fast.

It's not really about the subsidization...

Love monkfruit! A little goes a long way. I made the mistake of making bread with monkfruit instead of real sugar though. The yeast did NOT like the fake sugar, wouldn't eat it, all I got out of the bread machine was a hardened lump of baked doorstop. Never again.

335 Also there is the study by the Indian physician who noted that Indian chickens are much fatter than American chickens fed the same diet and traced the cause to a virus. Given the virus, the American chickens were just as fat as the Indian chickens. The virus also effects humans the same way as it does chickens. An obese person with low cholesterol likely has been infected with that virus.

336 Fake sugar can be as bad or worse than real sugar, especially if used in highly processed products.

I remember a funny like from the late comedian, Jackie Vernon: "My doctor took me off sugar and put me on sugar substitutes. Now I have artificial diabetes".

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The two sides of the coin that is President Donald Trump was on full display two days ago. His amazing ability to motivate and energize an otherwise detached electorate -- when he is on the ballot -- and his equally amazing ability to infuriate and motivate the Democrats.

And that's where JD Vance has a tremendous opportunity. As the presumptive front-runner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, He has the next two years, before the 2028 campaign begins in earnest, to create a persona as "The Anti-Trump." But not on policy, where the President and he are in broad agreement. No, it will be in tone, presentation, and image.

Donald Trump's bombast and hyperbole is an integral part of his public face, and in most cases it works to heighten awareness of the topic at hand and, frankly, to pique the interest of disinterested potential voters. But it also raises the hackles of his implacable enemies and, frankly, can blur the message. But that message is vital...love of America, respect for the working man, the desire for American industry to be unequaled, and for his beloved country to be a safe, prosperous, and happy place, with secure borders, a powerful military that is rarely used, a vibrant domestic economy, and the probability of upward mobility for most.

Is JD Vance any different? No, of course not. That message, until recently, would have been completely unexceptional, were it not for the shambling wreck of the Democrat/progressive movement dragging us into 3rd World territory.

But without the lightning rod that is Donald Trump, the Democrats, who can get their compliant flocks frothing at the mouth by the mere mention of the President's name, will lose a powerful recruiting and motivational tool. And the more JD Vance can separate himself from Donald Trump's unique personality, the weaker the Democrat strategy will be when directed at him. Thus the suggestion that he becomes the "Anti-Trump."

Trump Has the Entire Room Laughing as He Pokes Fun at JD Vance

The president then turned to Vice President Vance, quipping, “Why don’t you act like that? JD doesn’t behave like that. JD butts into conversations. I wanna have that for at least a couple of days. Okay, JD? We’ll keep you long term, but a couple of days of that would be very, very nice.”

This is exactly the way that JD Vance can create the image of an independent and powerful executive who is more than happy to confront Donald Trump if necessary, but will always be measured and calm in public.

Hyperbole is the politician's stock in trade, but with a thoughtful and quiet delivery, JD Vance can create distance from Donald Trump that will still allow him to communicate the broad strokes of an America First policy. It will also neuter the Democrat shock troops, who operate on rage and adrenaline. Three more years of Donald Trump will, hopefully, leave them exhausted, and the American people bored with their unending, unthinking, and hysterical responses to everything that the President does or says.

Yes, I am a fan of JD Vance. Will he be the nominee? Who knows! But the bench is reasonably deep, so if he fails to secure the nomination, I am confident that there are others who will be good candidates, especially with the possibility of Governor Hair Gel Newsom as the Democrat candidate, with all of California's miserable baggage piled high around him!
