Idk some see it as using it in excess due to body image issues in Hollywood but a lot it seems like its always a thinly veiled shot at the body positive movement whenever I see this mentioned. The South park episode I'm sure helped fuel this. Hell of a lot of moralizing over ozempic in general and people not losing weight the "right way". thats-why-im-confused

Still gotta put the diet work in with ozempic. And exercise is also advised to maintain long term weight loss to not lose as much muscle otherwise which would be undesirable.

And tbh.... I'm gonna sound controversial but PEDs and steroids kinda are miracle drugs tbh. Its just that they can have really bad side effects. But the shit you see with em especially when they're hyper responders is nuts. I've seen people come back from injuries in a short time on em. Recovering from working out 3 to 4 times a day and it not being diminishing returns is crazy. The numbers powerlifters are hitting nowadays is loco. Seeing athletes still do impressive things while injured as well....idk like in terms of bodybuilding and I guess some strength sports for instance if you aren't a hyper responder you aren't gonna be a ronnie coleman but for other performance benefits maaaaaan I don't maaaaan if you see this shit especially with a proper regime

Honestly, not always. In over a year on it I've never really had to focus on my diet and I've lost 100 pounds. I just feel "normal".
