Dr. Ahmed 6 week belly Ozempic weight loss before and after Photos and reviews: How you may look after six weeks? Flat Stomach and sunken cheeks?
Losing belly fat is one of the hardest things you’ll find when you are on a weight-loss journey. People try different diets and workouts, but it’s a frustrating effort most of the time.
Belly fat is hard to lose because:
- It is controlled by hormones, especially estrogen, and sex hormones
- It is a storage area where most of the extra calories are stored as fat
- You can not move it with workouts. The muscles are hard to move, unlike the muscles of the arms and hips.
To lose belly fat in six weeks, you need to work hard. Along with going on a calorie-deficient diet and weight-loss exercises, you may need to take weight-loss pills as well.
The CDC recommends losing no more than 1 to 2 pounds every week. A person weighing 180 to 200 lbs may notice some belly-flattening after 6 weeks at a pace of 1 to 2 lbs of weight loss per week.
However, a person weighing more than 250 pounds may not notice anything after six weeks.
If you lose weight at a pace of 2 lbs a week, you should be losing at least 12 pounds after six weeks.
The good news is that losing weight within the first six weeks is much easier than losing weight after six weeks.
This is because of the extra water loss when you start a weight-loss program.
If you have tried diet and workouts, adding a potent weight loss pill may be the ultimate way to get back on track.
12 pounds or more of weight loss within six weeks can only be achieved with the latest weight-loss pill, Semaglutide.
What is Semaglutide: Rybelsus, Ozempic, and Wegovy?
Semaglutide is the latest drug that has been approved for the treatment of diabetes and weight loss.
Rybelsus and Ozempic have only been approved for the treatment of diabetes, while Wegovy has been approved for the treatment of weight loss.
All three drugs are different formulations of Semaglutide. Rybelsus is an oral tablet formulation, while Ozempic and Wegovy are injectable formulations administered weekly.
- Rybelsus tablets are available as 3 mg, 7 mg, and 14 mg and are administered daily
- Ozempic injection is available as 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg andis administered weekly
- Wegovy injection is administered at a dose of 2.4 mg weekly.
In clinical trials, all three formulations of Semaglutide have been observed to cause significant weight loss. The weight loss observed with these drugs is:
- Rybelsus has been associated with a weight loss of about 8.1 pounds after 26 weeks in clinical trials.
- Ozempic is associated with about 13 pounds of weight loss when used for 26 weeks.
- Wegovy is associated with a maximum of 16% body weight loss after 68 weeks.
Data of people using Ozempic was extracted from social media. It was observed that Ozempic use was associated with significant weight loss after six weeks.
The weight loss observed after six weeks was on average 23 pounds.
23 pounds of weight loss is enough to observe your belly getting flat.
Here are some pics of people who have flattened their bellies after six weeks of hard work, diet, workout, and weight loss pills.
The pics posted here are not a result of using Ozempic. These pics show what your belly may look like after losing some weight.
6-week Belly Ozempic Weight Loss Before and After [Ref]:
Here is a list of people who have documented some weight loss within six weeks of using Ozempic.
People who lost weight in 6 weeks | Weight loss in Pounds | Weight loss in Kgs |
| Baseline weight 186 | 13 | 5.9 |
| Baseline weight 166 | 12 | 5.4 |
| Baseline weight 166 | 10 | 4.5 |
| Baseline weight 191 | 2 | 0.9 |

Weight loss of 13 lbs in 6 weeks:
This young woman documented a weight loss of 13 lbs within 6 weeks. It is difficult to observe a weight loss of 13 lbs in 6 weeks, however, it has significant health benefits.
Although not clearly visible in the pics above, 13 lbs of weight loss is an ideal weight loss in six weeks.
Weight loss of 12 pounds in Six Weeks:
Subtle belly-flattening can be seen in the pics above. 12 lbs of weight loss in six weeks is better than rapid weight loss.
12 lbs weight loss in this young woman is equivalent to about 7% weight loss, which has significant health benefits.
10% or more weight loss is associated with improvement in blood glucose and blood pressure in diabetic and hypertensive patients. It also lowers insulin resistance and may help obese women with PCOS and infertility.
Weight loss of 10 lbs in six weeks:
Unlike the other pics, this lady lost only 10 lbs in six weeks, however, she has probably lost most of her belly fat. She has flattened her belly within six weeks with just 10 lbs of weight loss.
It is difficult to understand why some people lose belly fat while others lose back fat, thigh fat, or face fat.
One factor that plays a role in losing fat from a specific area of the body is that people who perform specific exercises are more likely to lose fat from that area.
Weight loss of 2 lbs in six weeks:
Discouraged by the scale but seeing a change in the mirror:
Here, 2 lbs can be just your scale misreadings, but belly-flattening can be seen in the above pics. It is unbelievable the lady lost just 2 lbs.
Sometimes even a single pound of weight loss is encouraging, especially if it is lost without any effort.
Weight loss of 20 lbs in six weeks:
20 lbs is a little too much for this lady as she is not obese at the baseline. However, one should try to lose weight not exceeding 1 to 2 lbs per week, especially, if the baseline weight is not too much.
Weight loss in excess of 1 – 2 pounds per week can result in gallstones and general weakness. However, if it is lost with aerobic exercises and a healthy meal plan, it may be very productive and very encouraging.
Flat belly and weight loss in Six weeks:
12 lbs weight loss is ideal in six weeks. Some people work on specific parts of the body like the hips, belly, and thighs. This lady seems to have worked on her belly fat.
Belly fat especially visceral fat is associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
Losing belly fat can have significant health benefits, especially in women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
