Do the jabs do anything to physically make you lose weight?

Or is it all about suppressing appetite?

The reason I ask, I've been told all my life (often on here) that it is harder to lose weight the older you get, if you eat the same at 50 as you did at 20, even if activity is the same, you'll put on weight. Some women swear menopause causes weight gain, whilst some Drs say it doesn't. I've got some family members on the jabs at the moment that have struggled with their weight later in life, but are doing brilliantly on the jabs and losing weight rapidly.

So does this mean the mechanics are roughly the same with age, eat less, weigh less, and it's the mental aspect that gets harder as we age, not that we physically process food differently?

I was wondering the same thing. I’m on the lowest dose of Wegovy and I’m
on day 5. I probably am eating a little less but it’s good to know it has a blood sugar balancing effect as well.

If anyone is interested someone shared this video on the November MJ thread (thank you whoever it was!)

It’s about the science behind the medication and how it works in the body. It’s fairly easy to follow even when he gets technically.

I advise watching it at 1.5x speed - he’s very nice to look at but he speaks quite slowly and it’s a longish video!

Infesting thank you.,

It comes before all of that...I do think in the west we underestimate the devastating impact of obesity on our bodies. Many of the symptoms/changes we've attributed to menopause were actually consequences of carrying loads of extra fat around!
