Is it the begining of the end for Weight loss injections?

@everydaysaschoolda I didnt say it was. I said I had reversed my condition which is not diabetis.

😂😂😂

@Mounjaroversary

@Ukefluke

Type 2 diabetes is not an autoimmune disease

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and is not reversible

Something tells me that the OP is the one sitting at home, stuffing her face with a kebab and mad as Hell that she can't afford WLI.

But even if that’s the case - which I don’t believe it is with most people (I can’t even eat greasy/fattening stuff anymore) - why do you care? And also what difference does it make? If the person was eating the full pizza before they were still unhealthy weren’t they? Only fatter.

At least on WLI’s they’ll be less likely to end up in hospital with obesity related diseases, saving the NHS money - right?

Were you starting threads before the advent of WLI’s hand wringing about the obesity crisis and how worried you are about fat people’s health? Of course not.

Again, lack of critical thinking and virtue signalling/judgement wrapped up as caring about something which is no concern of yours and affects you in absolutely no way.

Which camp are you? (bc I believe these threads are usually started by one of two types of people): an overweight person who isn’t eligible for WLI’s on the nhs and either can’t afford it or doesn’t want to give up the comfort of binge eating? or one of these disordered thin people who obsesses about food and flagellates themselves at the gym in order to be thin and has always felt superior about it - and is now peeved that overweight people don’t have to work as hard as them to lose weight? Am I close?

Yes. Again certain concerned citizens have no idea what the drug does. I always order a chicken salad in a restaurant now and too much sugar is intolerable. I had a phase of just eating chicken breast… I couldn’t be bothered to eat chips. Def makes me want the protein.

Agreed. I'm on holiday right now and I've absolutely promised my DP that I am not denying myself anything I actually want. I've turned down loads of treats and sweets and alcohol, not because I'm being "good" and secretly wanting it, I just don't want it. That's why MH makes it "easier". It doesn't melt the fat off or even just suppress appetite, the blood sugar / insulin balance is handled far better so that thing when people say ,"I forgot to eat lunch"..I get that now.

Funnily enough, when I started mounjaro the idea of eating a curry or pizza became very unappealing and I actually heard the words “I fancy a nice chicken salad, is there one on the menu” come out of my mouth. I am totally resetting my diet and listening to what my body needs rather than what I used to crave.

Eg if I’m meeting friends for coffee I don’t have a pastry or slice of cake any more, I look at them and I simply don’t want any. Is not hard, I don’t feel denied a treat or that I’m being virtuous. I’m basically developing “normal” eating habits that naturally slim people have.

The hardest thing for me is that the hit of fat and sugar from a bar of chocolate used to be my comfort/stress relief, so I feel a bit discombobulated and am finding new ways to self soothe that don’t involve food or drink.

🤣 I mean, it is pretty sad isn't it, the user name thing.

Don't question @BeginingoftheendforWLI 's caring. They care so much they changed their user name. They really really care and are deeply concerned about all our health.

No one has said its not possible to overeat on WLI but it will make you feel unwell potentially and surely the whole point is that you are trying to lose weight so with a bit of motivation plus the effects of the jabs then most people are successful.

On the WLI boards almost every person has overhauled their eating and are giving it their best shot. You can't help everyone even with some of the amazing medical interventions that exist. My friend had a kidney transplant at age 20 that they had waited years for, then spent the next 10 years getting absolutely wasted and making themselves very unwell. Most people wouldn't do this.

Oh, so the faux concern and disingenuous pondering have now disappeared? And we are now seeing your true, spiteful nature. Nice, really nice.

It must be miserable having your twisted outlook on life.

Think you've blown your beans now OP. Usually better to wait til a bit later in the thread.

I know people that have broken their gastric band by overeating. Something which is also not supposed to be possible

Already did it once but mistakenly thought i'd cracked it and fell off the wagon spectacularly.

You "suspect" do you? Based on what? Perhaps have a trawl through the many many threads here, one for each month going back to 2024, where people talk about the way they're eating and changing their lives. Before coming out with any more drivel.

Delightful stereotyping there, btw. "ordering a pizza or a doner kebab or a curry". 🙄

Nice of you to come back and acknowledge to a pp that she, in fact, has every right to be on WLIs after asking a very leading question implying that she doesn't.😉

Correlation is not causation.

I think with that comment you've pretty much just given away your real feelings rather than the faux concern you started with.

@BeginingoftheendforWLI Wow. What a nasty and frankly ridiculous comment. Why don't you hop on a few of the threads on the WLI boards and see what people are actually doing? Rather than "suspecting" what people are doing you'd actually know. But then that wouldn't fit your presumption would it? Much more comfortable to go about in wilful ignorance and feel superior.

Mounjaro is great. Loved being on it. But it did end up with me getting an autoimmune condition which while noone can prove was caused by it I am sure was related. However for people v overweight I can’t see there is any downside when compared to being obese

Why are people so obsessed over picking fault with weight loss injections? No one is forcing anyone one to take them. A small minority are able to get them through the NHS and the others are using their own money to buy them privately. That's their perogative and it's none of your fucking business.

Fat people have been demonised for years, and now that they are using a successful tool to aid weight loss, they are demonised for this too. Ridiculous!

If you can eat and eat without feeling hungry then WLI would work for you because it reduce the food noise and your physical desire to eat.

You should do what you want of course, but 800 calories a day sounds potentially hard to sustain, so depending how it goes, you might reconsider, especially if you are overweight enough/have enough parallel conditions to qualify on the NHS.

Obviously not no.

It is, however, just the beginning..

Why are you concerned? We have long term data, these sorts of drugs have been around for 20+ years. The overwhelming data is nothing but positive irrespective of weight loss for cancer reduction, adverse cardiac events etc. And sarcopenia can happy with any rapid weight loss, it’s not related to the peptide. And it’s quite simple to combat, eat adequate protein and resistance train
