It's ok to eat fat

[Terrel L. Shields]

Once Ozempic, have to stay on it for life.

Actually that is not true, but you can if it works better than other meds.

There is no definitive answer to the above. The best you will get is "it depends". But for diabetics long term use is a plus for the majority of users.

I don't think so. Diet and exercise was working for me until I hyperextended my knee. After one year I am still not 100%, but progress is happening and the 15 lb. I gained has to come off. Once off, then I probably can resume a lower dose of other drugs. You eat too much when your mobility is hampered by injury.

Insulin would be hard to get off but this is different. The primary goal is to control the blood sugars not to lose weight, that's just a common side benefit of the drug.

I'm going to do a month's worth of Tirzepatide 5mg for my last 10 lbs., melt that chit off like nobody's business.

I worry about you. You taking drugs which we still don't know how it will affect you in long run.

glp-1 drugs have been on the market for 20 years. So there is some relatively long term data

The secret to losing weight is to eat less and eat heathy.
Just exercising is not enough but do try to walk at least 7,000 steps a day.
Try not to eat late at night. And fast until next day at least 12 hours.
Cut down on fatty food and eat protein, vegetables, and nuts.
I cut down in eating sweets, pastries, cookies, and potato chips.
And unfortunately, less out eating at restaurants this month. Although yesterday I ate one In&Out burger instead of my normal two burgers.
It's only a month and I feel like my belly is getting slightly smaller.
