Just putting this out there, I’m not particularly liked on this forum so thought I’d do it!
the price increase is sending people crazy! I’ve seen it on social media and heard it first hand from people I work with….. they are freaking out!
but for me I’m like WTAF - no I dont need it, and wouldn’t qualify for it…….. but have been horrendously overweight in my life yes, have I struggled with keeping slim my hole life yes, do i just eat less and battle on to keep a healthy weight yes….. have I put on a stone recently due to academic work yes, is it cos I’ve overeaten and drank too much pop yes!! Will I sort it all out through a better diet yes!
its a type of insulin….. insulin saves lives but equally can be very dangerous
end of rant!

Yes. Firstly each meal even if small keeps me fuller longer. So far less likely to snack. Also I now eat smaller portions as I’m not worried about being hungry. Far less likely to snack as a result. Stayed on 2.5mg (but using a 5mg pen to save money) so can enjoy food just eat less of it. It’s the first time in my life that eating less is easy. I don’t understand all the hate: if you don’t want to take it, then don’t.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it up to individuals if they want to take it. Glad it's working for you x

Hmmmm, wonder why you aren’t liked 🤔 you sound bored and a bit of an attention seeker. WLI advocate here, life changing. Almost 3st lost, way more energy, blood sugars stable, walking 2 hours a day, strength training and feel amazing.

"You are what you eat"?

Well yes, exactly. And Mounjaro makes you eat less, by making you feel full on less. Were you under the impression that you keep on eating the same, and fat just magically melts away? They haven't yet invented a drug that overturns the laws of physics.

I refuse to believe you have had academic work based on your OP. Also WLI are life changing, I’m very lucky that I can afford the hike (I’m not happy about because I’m being ripped off and it’s pure greed by the manufacturers) but I’m genuinely gutted for those that can’t afford it now because I’m a decent human being. I have lost 3st 4lbs and have another 3st to go I would be heartbroken if I couldn’t afford it anymore.
