If you or a loved one has thought about taking Ozempic or any other similar weight loss drugs, you are going to want to watch this video until the very end. Today, I am going to explain what Ozempic is, how it works for weight loss, and what you should consider if you are taking or thinking of taking semaglutide based drugs. Ozempic is the brand name for the drug semaglutide, falling under the GLP-1 drug class. Some of these drugs you might know by the name of Ozempic, Wegovy, and Trulicity. These drugs are used to control weight loss in users using a different method than previously applied drugs. Instead of using amphetamine based drugs that essentially sped up the calories-out portion of the calories-in-calories-out equation, they are used to control the calories-in portion. These new drugs, such as Ozempic, are now manipulating the calories-in half of the equation by controlling appetite at the neurological level as well as delaying gastric emptying to help you feel more full for longer periods of time, again helping to curb appetite. For those that need Ozempic medically, this drug has been an absolute game changer. While being able to combat the weight gain that is associated with type 2 diabetes, it is able to do so without the worrying side effects of other drugs. I find it common, sometimes even coming from myself, that people are quick to blame someone being overweight for their lack of dedication and effort to combat their severe weight issue. However, that is not always the case - they might be doing the same thing that everyone else is doing in their pursuit of weight loss. The problem is, they could be such a metabolic mess, that despite their best efforts, they just can’t achieve the same results as someone else. While the intended use of Ozempic is noble and helpful, the misuse of the drug is rampant. People are running to using semaglutide products such as Ozempic in a pursuit of losing 10 lbs for their upcoming vacation. This has resulted in issues for the people that actually need the drug, namely: a supply shortage along with the price of the drug skyrocketing making it less affordable to those that really need it. Now, this brings forward the issue of the unintended side effect of Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs; where is that weight coming from is it all fat, or is it something more You might not know this, but a significant amount of weight loss does not simply come from fat stores, but also from lean muscle tissue. This becomes a major problem for anyone taking these drugs and is something that they need to be made aware of. In any case of weight loss, there is going to be a portion of that weight that comes from body fat and a portion that comes from muscle as well. However, it is up to you to maximize fat loss while minimizing muscle loss. With drugs like Ozempic, the weight loss is rapid making it hard to control just how much muscle you are losing along with the fat being burned. Studies have shown that taking weight loss drugs like Ozempic resulted in a loss of muscle tissue being between 25-35% That’s not good. In my profession, if I were responsible for someone losing 25-35% of muscle mass, that would be cause for major concern. This would actually lead to the presence of a skinny-fat physique, which is something that is undesirable. Someone who is skinny fat does not have that is lower bodyweight, but does not carry any significant muscle mass. The problem with being skinny fat, especially at the end of a weight loss journey, is that there is a limited supply of metabolically active tissue. This means that if you were to resume eating the way you were before, you’d be packing on fat just quickly as you did before you started your path to losing weight. The trick Start strength training. The benefit of strength training is that it gives you metabolic forgiveness; the more lean muscle you carry, the less effect food has on you metabolically. You can have that cheat meal without as much worry than if you were not training. If you focus on your efforts in the gym and rely less on drugs like Ozempic, you are helping yourself metabolically, aesthetically, and you are leaving more of the drug available to those that actually need it. Make sure to keep watching to the end to hear about how important your nutrition is in your pursuit of weight loss. It can't be overlooked even for a second.

I had tipped over into obesity and couldn’t lose the weight on my will power alone so I used semaglutide for just over a year and it was life changing. I lost almost 60 lbs and my energy, confidence, and happiness sky rocketed. I changed my gluttonous indulgent eating habits and now off the med and the new habit of eating healthy portions stuck. I might have lost some muscle since I’m thin yet still have fat on me. Strength training suggested here seems something I definitely want to get into not only for now, but old age quality of life as explained.

I took a one and only dose about 10 days ago, using it strictly as a springboard to change my habits. The major thing I've carried over so far was cutting down my alcohol consumption 90%. To me that is a game changer and now that those cravings are behind me, I can focus on what Jeff lays out here, but that initial shock was key. That's what I'd recommend to the just want to lose 10 pounds group of people considering this. Take a dose, use that week to reset your habits, and then go forward naturally.

i've been taking Ozempic for almost 2 and half years because of my diabetes. This Ozempic has help alot yes, but i get another problem gallstones and make it worst i get pancreatitis just because i lose 20kg in around 4 months. As i said yes help but i had constantly problems with my insulin ups and downs. Now my insulin is much stable and i just with training and taking care my meals also using creatine, i finished with Ozempic and just keep in going with training.

I really need to question those protein figures. 1. 0 - 1. 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight
Let's say you're a moderately overweight male at about 200lbs trying to lose weight. That's about 200 - 240 grams of protein per day. That's a crap load of protein! That's 800 - 1000 calories from protein alone. Now unless you're gnawing on a chicken all day long, that's a pretty high calories diet, especially for someone trying to lose weight.

I'm not really in the camp that says you are bound to lose muscle mass after 40 (or whatever random age people say is the limit. I see it more along the lines of everyone having a genetic potential that declines with age. And until you hit your age adjusted genetic potential there are still gains to be made regardless of age. I think that's a more accurate way to look at it and that is the mindset that keeps me training (and gaining) at the age of 53.

I can't believe that anyone that has any discipline and common sense would ever us these artificial chemicals when you can just eat healthy and walk. If your obese you should've taken yourself the past 5 years, if you can't walk sit and exercise. A healthier diet cures and prevents your current metabolic issues. I. e. I cured suicidal ideation, severe depression, copd and emphysema with a healthy diet and very little added movement.

i feel like even with the metabolic problem someone might have and being overweight i still feel the dedication is the best way to it unless things like diabetes cause i have struggled with my weight and i got bad enough to be 325 lbs and currently im about to be 2 years in my lifestyle change and im down to a solid 190 and im 6foot 3in.

As a type 2 diabetic, Trulicity helped me drop my A1C in bout 4 months from 8. 9 to 7. 4. while some of the side effects suck, having my A1C drop almost into the good range, in a short period. The nausea, and constipation kinda inconvenient, but my A1C lower is going to save me a lot, and save me from far worse things.

I am not a doctor, but I am an ICU Nurse who has extensive experience with rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdo is caused mostly by a build-up of proteins in the blood that damage the kidneys. Muscle is made of proteins (obviously, which are released into the bloodstream as the muscle breaks down.

Thank you for the informative video brother! Gives me additional insight as I’m researching and providing information to the people I train! My main concern is in addition to the high loss of muscle tissue, it can possibly lead to a higher chance of certain cancers!
reply

Wanna lose weight Take a pill. oh wait, it causes muscle loss We've got a pill for that too. but that causes cardiovascular problems Yeah, we got a pill for that too.
Don't start the endless path and simply train hard, eat well, and get your well deserved rest!
reply

Nonsense. Ozempic is the best thing since sliced bread. Leptin and insulin resistance caused by overwhelming amount of sugar consumption makes it impossible for obese ppl to lose weight no matter how much they workout. Ozempic works and it works well.
reply

Skinny fat is still an improvement for most people being prescribed wegovy.
Also studies have shown that people who stop wegovy/ozempic generally gain back all the weight, so its not really a medication that you're ever suppose to stop taking.
reply

As a diabetic who just started your workout program, this is one of the best videos Athlean-X has ever done. Thank you for acknowledging the struggle of weight loss and the unspoken issues associated with Ozempic use by non-diabetics.
reply

Our doctors say people don't come because of diabetes, they come asking for ozempic just for a specific occasion in the future.
Then he just says that this is regular fitness training and only like 5% of the people actually do it.
reply

I cannot support this message enough! As a trainer myself, it's a constant struggle to keep people from being mislead by supposed Healthcare Professionals kudos to you Jeff for staying on the forefront of these important issues!
reply

The published studies with semaglutide/tirzepatide have so far not included groups that were doing resistance training and eating sufficient protein. Weights and protein should prevent lean mass loss while taking these meds.
reply

My friend has been taking this. It saddens me the person she has become because of it. I’ve been trying and trying and trying to get her to stop. Hasn’t happened yet. She’s not diabetic. This shits horrible.

A wise guy once said.
Food is thy medicine & medicine is thy food
Problem is, nobody wants to put in the work. they want easy & quick results which appear to be even more detrimental to their health.
