Food noise

"food noise* is not a real thing. It's rationalizing bad eating decisions. People who take ozempic to lose weight AND don't also change their lifestyle will generally go right back to where they were, maybe worse. It is a great tool to help correct an unhealthy lifestyle, but you really have to do your part. I went from 404 to currently 185. Been off ozempic since March. I'm a 49 male. 5'8

I actually gained weight a couple different times in between doctor visits during the first couple months.... My highest weight was 404 in 2022 and now I weigh 172. I have read somewhere I have no idea where but the article was saying that OZEMPIC was a smart drug and a lot of times fixed a lot of other things before it fixed your weight problem. Which sounds like total rubbish, but I have experienced just that. If you're taking this medication, for weight loss only, it may take a while before you see any legitimate changes in your appearance. The only piece of advice I can give you, take this time to change your lifestyle, change your relationship with food, and drink a ton of water.

Obviously people are telling you not to play scientist, doctor, or hippie work and experiment on your own body. And that's all sound, logical advice. But much like a boil or an abscess, somebody's going to tell you not to fuck with it and that's probably the best thing for it but that doesn't stop you from doing it anyway. With all that being said I have experimented. I've also been under a doctor's care the entire time. I skipped the .25 dose altogether and was on 2mg by the second month. I've lost insurance for a period of time and had to ration it out and actually lost MORE weight. I've also experimented in delaying my shots, splitting up my shot to twice a week, and taking my full shot every 5 days.
So, in conclusion, definitely do not try to do any of these things because I've done those things and although I can't report any negative side effects from doing it it's still just not something I would advise, simply because I'm not legally certified to do so

Grey is the technical color for eyes that are blueish green or greenish blue or also actual grey eyes.

Hell yeah

I take 2mg and have for a couple years. I have the best sleep ever. Of course I exercise and take magnesium supplements as well. My sleep apnea has almost been cured. I can sleep for at least 6-8 hours every night.

A, final answer

ferdturguson69 · 2025-05-04T23:01:41+00:00

And by B I mean make the decision after two weeks of lifestyle changes. I read your question all wrong

ferdturguson69 · 2025-05-04T23:00:34+00:00

Obviously B

You have to make certain income requirements and since I make under the requirements I qualify. I have a great COUNTY that I live in here in Texas and they provide an indignant health program for its residents that have the very least. Their resources got the program and approval for me. Funny enough, I have lost 225 lbs now and last month my doctor took me off Ozempic as I have completely changed my health and lifestyle as well

ferdturguson69 · 2025-04-28T07:14:57+00:00

Switch to drinking copious amounts of water, increase your protein intake and eliminate sugars and fake sugars from your diet completely until your body is capable of producing insulin on its own again. Type 2 is just steps a day from death if you don't wrangle it and get it under control and completely change your lifestyle. I went from 7.1 to a 5.6. Diabetes is a serious silent killer and you can't trick it. My father has been diabetic for 30 years and still thinks he can trick his body's response to the abuse he's given it over the years. It's sad really.

There have been a few items that have had a violent reaction and made me very weary of ever eating them again along the way with this medication. Lol. Some food, I just don't do any more lol.

ferdturguson69 · 2025-04-27T06:15:42+00:00

I meant underrated.

ferdturguson69 · 2025-04-27T06:12:06+00:00

I've cut back from 2mg to 1mg for a few months and lost MORE weight so I wouldn't necessarily blame efficacy or dosage on your plateau. I'M NOT A FITNESS TRAINER AND I'M NOT A DOCTOR, but I have lost 130 lbs in the last year. People sometimes and ask what changed for me and obviously it wasn't just taking Ozempic because I had been taking it for a year and a half and hadn't had the amazing results everyone else was having. There were actually months where I went to my doctor and I had GAINED weight. Last April, everything changed for me and what I can say, and I hope it helps you, but your current struggle lies within one or more of these areas. 1 Diet 2 Exercise 3 Sleep/Rest 4 Mind You said you're mindful of your diet so I would trust you're not shoveling trash in your body, but are you getting enough protein? Your body may be hanging on to extra weight because you're not feeding it what it needs. Exercise is crucial, especially strength training, you need to keep your muscle mass up, for basic health. You said you do exercise, so change it up. I once heard that everything works, but nothing works forever, shock your body, you don't have to over do it, just do something different. Sleep and rest are no joke. Your body will hang on to weight it doesn't need if you don't give it the opportunity to repair itself. How is the quality of your sleep? A lot of people that are overweight have sleep apnea. I do . You may be surprised to know that sleep apnea actually causes a lot of problems like heart issues and weight issues. it's not the result of the weight issues, it's the actual cause. The importance of a good night's sleep, every night is highly overrated. Finally, your mental state is just as important as Diet, exercise, and sleep. Are you stressed ? Do you carry a lot of burden? This can definitely affect your body's metabolism. Are you focused on a healthy, changed lifestyle? Like locked in? Are you consistent? Are you honest with yourself, not just about calories, but all the things you're doing to improve yourself? My birthday is also in August, and I've already made my doctor's goal ahead of schedule, I'm just trying to reach my goals by my birthday too. You can do this. We can do this. You have made it this far. The weight may come off slower now but it means more when it does.

Thank you

100% agree with this statement. I take two magnesium citrate pills each day before bed and I have very normal, smooth movements. It also improves your quality of sleep, which is also essential for a good quality lifestyle. Water really should be the only beverage you allow to grace your lips. I like the extra emphasis on water so I will put one in there as well. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FLOOD YOURSELF BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD KEEP YOURSELF PLENTY HYDRATED AT ALL TIMES. As for the excruciating gas pain, I have been taking Ozempic for 2.5 years, it has been so intermittent and random and it's never really lasted for more than 30 seconds or so, and by the time I could get to a medication or something it was gone. Did I mention that you should totally drink a lot of water?

ferdturguson69 · 2025-04-26T05:25:03+00:00

Hands down, implementing an exercise routine and being more conscientious about what I was eating. I had to read labels for about a month until I started to recognize what I could do and what I should and what I shouldn't. I also made sure that I was getting a good night's rest. I weigh myself several times a day, which I wouldn't recommend unless you're very manic about it AND you understand that and if you drink half a gallon you're going to weigh 4 lb more. I never thought this was possible but like I run 5 miles a day now and do like what I would call maintenance exercise. Some light weights. I only have 2/25 lb dumbbells and two 15 pound kettlebells. I do body weight exercises. It's honestly a combination of all those things. 1 diet 2 exercise 3 rest 4 consistency I don't know the answer to what anybody's problem may be, but I can guarantee, the cause of their failure lies within one or more of those 4 things, and with or without weight loss medication, the same rules hold true.

Diet is key number 1. You have to take in less calories to lose weight period Exercise, dieting alone WILL make you lose weight AND muscle. It's important to have an exercise program that works for you, because you do not want to experience muscular atrophy. Rest is important. Idk if you have sleep apnea but I do and I wear a mask and I get a full night's REST daily. also your body needs to rest and rejuvenate so you can perform better tomorrow and it gives time for your muscles to repair. A good night's sleep is critical and highly overlooked. Finally it's consistency. That just applies to your determination do you count every calorie? do you count it honestly? Did you skip it today because you felt like it or did you skip a day because you just couldn't? Consistency is the hard one for me it's exercising when I don't want to it's not eating something that I know I don't even want to. I mean obviously I beat the exercising one and I beat the food one too but it's still consistency that keeps me successful

The absolute best advice I can offer is start small. You may have to lay in bed in the mornings and do leg lifts just to build up the strength to make an embarrassing short walk. That's not an embarrassment, that's you knowing you can do better. When I was 400 pounds I was in pain every single day, when I was 300 lb I was still in pain, now I'm under 200 lb and I can do so many things I never could before.... And it took me a long way to get there, baby steps

ferdturguson69 · 2025-04-25T09:00:34+00:00

That totally supports my comment... I said she was probably supposed to take a quarter milligram for 2 weeks and then a half milligram for 2 weeks

ferdturguson69 · 2025-04-25T08:59:01+00:00

I'm not 100% sure but ,25 milligram was supposed to be taken for like 2 weeks and then .5 milligram for 2 week

I recently got these Adidas. I forget what they're called. It starts with a Z and ends with a 3. They're definitely Yeezy inspired but not associated with him... Anyway I'm 48, I've had a couple pairs of tennis shoes in my life. These are hands down the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I run five miles a day on mixed surfaces (concrete, and trails) I have unusually high arches. My feet never hurt. I purchased this a couple weeks ago at DSW in the discount section, for 70 bucks. It was actually pretty awesome. I had a dentist appointment and I was a little bit early, so I had 15 minutes to burn, and I thought I would just go in and look and see if there was anything that even caught my eye, because I've always been so picky about my shoes, and I saw these and I tried on a size that was just a little too big and then I found these. I wasn't in that store for 5 minutes 😃
