SS: data is coming in showing that obesity is declining in the US for the first time in a very long time. Seems like the logical explanation is the introduction of Ozempic and the rest of that wave of new weight loss drugs. Pretty wild! And uptake has really just barely begun. Very good news for human health.

It’s not pharma at all it’s rising cost and all the lifestyle science being pushed on every platform. TikTok/youtube/facebook reels. People see the before and after so many times before they full send into change themselves

…and yet my insurance covers none of them. 780/month out of pocket for any. Thanks a lot UHC.

Shrinkflation of food products probably contributes a lot to this.

I was listening to a podcast earlier that said even lab animals were getting fatter. Perhaps environmental causes really are PART of the problem.

Baldness will be the very last thing they cure before the world explodes. Watch.

Fucking losers who won’t chage their diet and workout take ozempic instead to feel good about themselves. Still fat but put make up on

I’m still really big, and losing all this weight won’t be easy as I’m nearly bedridden from back issues. But Ozempic, combined with really minor diet changes, has helped me drop nearly 150 lbs already. I ballooned up after my back initially went out. I basically gave up. Ozempic actually allows me to feel full on a normal amount of food. I’m on less blood pressure meds now. All my other health indicators have gotten much better. My only complaint is that the head aches can really suck at times.

Taking pills to lose weight. Is that really a good thing ??

GLP-1 medications are being irrationally demonized, despite their life-extending benefits, proven effectiveness, and favorable risk/reward profile. I suspect that this is because obesity is highly stigmatized, leading people to develop emotional biases that prevent them from thinking rationally.
It’s crazy how I’m seeing anti-vax arguments from 2020/2021 resurface. I’m not being hyperbolic, it’s the same exact arguments: “muh side effects!”, “big pharma tho!”, “the natural way is better, trust me bro!”.

I don’t know why people are saying this is just the cause of weight loss drugs? I think lots of education on obesity since the 90s combined with the aging (and dying) boomer population certainly has a lot to do with it?

Peak? Sounds like a challenge to me. I think I can pack more on.

I wonder how people not being able to afford eating out as much and soda bans also play a part into this. I personally don’t see it going down too much anymore if fast food becomes more affordable again.

Like most people, we’re starting to notice some others with dramatic weight loss the last couple years.

The answer is “Eat less, move more” but people just want an easy fix with pills

As of last month I am no longer obese, as is at least one of my internet friends, so this tracks.

This is awful, one of my main strength in the dating world was that I wasn’t fat

And ozempic is just gen 1. Gen 2 is on the market now Mounjaro. Gen 3 is almost here.

Getting rid of one effect ignoring all the causes of the obesity does not equate health in any way. More and more of these posts i see lately that just look like bad ad campaigns…
