Ozempic Hype or Health Hazard? Why I’m Betting on Real Weight Loss
Alright, I gotta say it: the hype around Ozempic, Wegovy, and other weight loss drugs is getting out of hand. Sure, stocks like Lily and Novo are hot now, but I don’t think that’ll last.
Think about it—30-40 years ago, there were hardly any overweight people. Look at any old photos from the ‘80s. Nowadays, it feels like everyone’s struggling with weight. What changed? It’s all those seed oils, artificial flavors, gums, and additives in our food that are banned in other countries but dumped into ours.
It feels like the system’s trying to make us sick and reliant on expensive healthcare or convince us we need pricey injections and pills just to lose weight. Every day, it seems like there’s some new “benefit” being pushed about these drugs—Ozempic helps with diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, even COVID survival… but are these benefits from the drugs, or just from losing weight? Common sense says it's the weight loss.
Instead of injecting myself to shed pounds, I'd rather cut out the crap in our diets and exercise. People saying diet and exercise don’t work? They’re wrong. It worked for centuries before our food got flooded with junk. I hope people realize this before it’s too late, but the “obesity is a disease” narrative is being pushed so hard now, it’s hard to say. Sadly, it’ll probably take serious side effects showing up years later for folks to rethink these meds.
Just eat right and work out. If you want treats, there are healthier alternatives. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking meds are the only way. And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see those “if you took Ozempic, you might be entitled to compensation” ads by 2035.

MonkeyGee : if you need a pill to lose weight, you have other issues.
Learning_Piggy : I used to think this way until I looked around and see more than a few obese people never managed to get out of obesity by themselves.
With or without surgery, with or without dietary restriction, obesity will most likely come back to them and it takes more than just personal grit to fight it.
