Reading Ozempic Weight Loss Stories of people who have been on the latest weight loss and diabetes drugs might boost your weight loss efforts.
Although diet pills are not recommended as the first line of therapy for weight loss, diet pills may help you lose weight if you are resistant to a weight loss diet and exercise.
Ozempic and Wegovy are injectable formulations of Semaglutide that are now being used for obese people who are extremely resistant to other weight loss therapies.
After bariatric surgery, gastric sleeve & Roun-en-Y gastric bypass, Wegovy is considered the most potent medical intervention until now.
The STEPs Trials have documented a weight loss of about 16% from the baseline with high-dose once-weekly Semaglutide injections.

After she lost 45 pounds, her weight remained static. She started taking Phentermine, Adipex. Phentermine is another FDA-approved weight-loss drug. Her weight dropped from 180 pounds (81.6 kgs) to 172 pounds (78 kgs).
She lost about 8 pounds further when she took Phentermine along with Ozempic. Simultaneously, she did one hour of regular Cardio, used stairs instead of elevators, and cut off fast food.
She used Ozempic in a dose of 0.25 mg once weekly for four weeks, followed by 0.5 mg once weekly.
She noticed that with time her weight remained static, so she increased the dose to 0.75 mg for a few weeks and then 1 mg for a couple of weeks after which she came back to her usual maintenance dose of 0.5 mg per week.

In addition, people using Wegovy may not be diabetic. Wegovy is FDA approved for people who are obese and want to lose weight regardless of whether they have diabetes or not.
Ozempic is only recommended for individuals with diabetes. So, most, rather all obese individuals who are on Ozempic have diabetes too.
