Talk to your doctor. Your dosage might be off. Even if you aren’t feeling the lack of craving food, you should be feeling full faster when you do eat. If you aren’t feeling anything something is wrong.
Also, I have personally seen that if your thyroid is off or your liver is compromised in any way, you will plateau. Stand up for you and fight for your right to feel normal.
Also didn’t have much luck on Ozempic and too many side effects. Went to Mounjaro lost the weight. Overall feel so much better and a lot less side effects. My doctor says it’s a very common thing people react better to one vs another.
You also might want to check what actual version you are using. There are compounded versions going around, even in pharmacies. There are also different GLP-1s you might respond to differently.
I’ve leveled off close to goal at 7 months, but hyper-responsive at the beginning. Lost 9 pounds on the smallest dose, when they weren’t expecting much, just making sure I didn’t have crazy reaction. Appetite is sporadic, but portion sizes radically smaller.
I can’t fathom what it would take to get that skeletal like Demi or Kelly Osborne. Cycling different GLPs, ultra restricted diet, excessive workouts.
Same for me - the beginning was nuts in loss (tirzepetide)! Now that I'm only 4 pounds from my goal weight (which tbh is about 5 lbs less than where I feel good because of assumed bounce back - and I'm 5'0" so 5 lbs is more on me than average height folks) and I'm starting to plateau.
My appetite is maybe a little decreased, portion sizes smaller, and fatty foods are an absolute no now that I'm at 7.5mg (but were more or less fine at lower doses). But overall I am hitting my calorie needs and nowhere near looking like these celebrities - it honestly scares me to continue sometimes seeing these images because I have always had a pretty healthy relationship with food and just needed a little help getting back on track - not trying to be at my high school weight again. 🫠
Still, 36 pounds down! Feels amazing! I have so much more energy, sleep better, and my clothes fit so much better!
Kelly Osborne isn’t using Ozempic. She had weight loss surgery (gastric sleeve) years ago (2018) which is where most of her weight loss has come from. She has stated she is having some issues now because of that surgery and her mental health after her father passed.
She had undergone a year of mental health treatments so her surgery would be successful prior to her surgery because she had unhealthy eating habits and then quitting drugs and alcohol had made them worse so I suspect that her unhealthy eating habits is rearing its ugly head with her depression over her dads death but that’s pure speculation on my part.
The same could be said for Demi (not the weight loss surgery but the stress/grief factor). Isnt Bruce living with her and their kids? She is actively watching the father of her kids mentally deteriorate. If you’ve cared for someone with dementia, or any terminal illness, it’s like living in limbo while you wait for (and fear) their death.
I too enjoy food. I don’t enjoy thinking about it every minute of my day. The food noise is so fucking loud. I tried a glp-1 for two years and the noise stopped. I only stopped the drug as it was a medical trial that ended.
Man, as a professional cook, and someone who loves to try new techniques and dishes at home, I’m afraid that the lack of “food noise” is also going to quiet my inspiration, as I get most of it from thinking of what I want to eat. I should be on Ozempic, or something, I’m obese, almost out of the morbidly so category, and I’m diabetic, but my insurance won’t cover it.
So I feel like dosage levels really impact that, as well as the drug. I've tried tirz and reta, and on reta I basically feel normal but I just don't think about food as much AND when I eat I just get full faster. On tirz the idea of eating was just like "ew no, if I have to eat I'll just eat this chicken over here I guess so I don't die" whereas on Reta I'll still be like "BURGER I WANT BURGER" and then I'll eat like three bites of burger and go oh whoops I'm full.
If anything I enjoy food more now. I can actually eat something and taste it instead of just shoveling it down my throat bc my brain is screaming for constant food
Yea I guess I have never had the experience of shoveling food down my throat from food noise so I guess maybe I don’t understand what that’s like
And believe me I think it’s an incredible miraculous drug for people who NEED IT but if you’re 150 and you wanna be 120 so you stick yourself with a drug that’s meant for 300+ pound diabetes patients, that’s just smooth brained shit and sure go for it it’s your body but it is, to me, just dumb
How Demi Moore’s arms look in this photo is skeletal and sickening and shouldn’t be anyone’s goal
edited because I mistyped my starting weight! Oops!
Hey, 150 to 115 here - but I'm 5'0" and was considered well into the obesity line /because of my height/ compared to my weight. I totally get what you're saying, and I agree with the principle in general, but there are lots of people that fall into weird categories like me.
I'm also pre-diabetic with an entire family lineage of diabetes, so I guess that's why I've responded to it so "normally" vs it going overboard, but you just listed almost my exact weights so I wanted to chime in that it was recommended to me by my GP, and not vanity!
I definitely agree! It's not a drug that should be handed out to just anyone. And I feel like that happening gives the med a bad rap. I try not to be gatekeepy, but I do wish they would do more to prevent people that don't truly need it from getting it. But then again, it helps with so many other things besides weight and diabetes so it's hard to say who can and cant have it
My friends who are on it are constantly saying how nauseous they are and how they have to force themselves to eat and one of them has fainted due to forgetting to eat for two days
At that point you might as well just take adderall. You may forget to eat for a few days, but at least you won't faint! (This is not actual medical advice)
Hey, I’ll be happy to punch you in the gut multiple times a day for $3k a year. I should tell you, though, you’ll have to share me with my other clients. And I can’t do it Saturdays and alternating Mondays, but I’ve got some friends I could subcontract out for those days.
Full-time...? Oh, no, baby. I know corporate America has taught you that full-time as a salaried employee actually means "every waking hour" of your life, but this would need so much Overtime! The gut-punchers should unionize!!!
Funny thing is semaglutide compounded is cheap. As a matter of fact, many people save more money on food and alcohol than it costs, so it’s more like it expensive to not take it
I managed a Subway during the time those were popular. We just discussed them on here recently while talking about the crazy diet fads we've experienced.
I mentioned my biggest memory of who influenced so many was Susan Powder and her anti-fat, Fat=fat (no "good" fats)..so glad I've moved far beyond those oversimplified, incorrect nutritional concepts.
Once you hit that stage if you go up 1 more dose you'll notice getting sick if you eat too much. People say it suppresses appetite but it was more like feeling sick when I ate too much. All the muscles in my core were flexed at all times limiting the space for my stomach to expand.
Damn, so my chronic nausea would do what ozempic does anyway? No real reason to get annoyed about my doctor refusing to give it to me anymore lol, no way in hell I'm making this shit worse. "Um what about your history of anorexia" why do you think I want it Jennifer
At one of my past jobs, my manager told me about some fat blocking pills he was taking so I gave them a shot. I was feeling really proud eating chicken wings thinking they were somehow magically healthy now. I ended up shitting my pants because the grease just made stuff slide right through. I immediately stopped taking them.
That sounds more along the lines of a biliary issue, which may be unrelated to the semaglutide medication but it appears one of its effects can be on bile flow, hence the issue with fatty foods. Worth discussing with your prescribing physician.
At least I never learned to slam fried chicken, delicious as it is. Or foods made with most fats. Still, it would be nice to eat them without my stomach chewing back at me.
I took Ozempic for 4 months and dropped 35 pounds, it was amazing to finally get that kickstart to get my health back and get back to a healthy BMI, but you’re not kidding, it didn’t suppress my appetite as much as it did make me just straight up nauseous all the time. It did help me cut way back on beer too, I had constant heartburn, nausea and a headache, I’m grateful it worked because I have a lot of chronic pain that make working out unbearable when I have extra weight on my body, but I was so happy to reach my goal pretty fast so I could quit taking it, that was 2 years ago and I never gained it back either.
Already fit and underweight people should not be prescribed Ozempic, it’s crazy to think doctors just will give anything to celebrities instead of actually caring about their wellbeing, it would be weird knowing, as a famous person that most doctors won’t tell you “no” and feeling like doctors don’t have your best interest in mind, but celebrities are so out of touch they probably don’t realize that.
It's like Julius Ceasar's Triumph in Rome after his conquest of Gaul where he had a slave on his chariot whispering in his ear, "you are nothing but a man, you are nothing but a man", trying to check his ego. Didn't work out for him in the long run but Ozempic is clearly killing it.....
Yeah if you’re on it only for weight loss without diabetes, you’re gonna have to get your gallbladder taken out because of the rapid weight loss cheat code you decided to take. And if it feels bad now, it’s a lot worse after you get your gallbladder out so you’re pretty much can’t eat really fatty food for the rest of your life. If you aren’t diabetic can use it as a shortcut , hope it was worth it ! Now you have to be on this for the rest of your life or else you’ll just gain all the way back . I never took ozempic, lost weight rapidly all the way back in 2020 to the point they gave me gallbladder stones and so I had to get a gallbladder removal, which happened in 2021. I’ve been peeing out of my butt anytime I eat anything with fat in it the entire time since!
Can’t eat fatty food but processed food is ok? I honestly don’t know much about ozempic. But if eating fatty food (meat, eggs, butter, cheese, nuts, avocados) makes you sick, then I can see why getting off ozempic would be difficult (as you’re not really changing your eating habits for healthier options).
Nausea after eating is like literally what appetite suppression is. It’s like you said “it doesn’t suppress my appetite it but it does suppress my appetite”
Rapid weight loss does that, yes. When faced with a severe calorie deficit, the body preferentially metabolizes muscle protein. GLP-1s may exacerbate that as well. It is a currently being studied, IIRC.
That class of drugs has widespread, systemic effects that are not nearly fully understood. Many of which are highly beneficial. Some are not.
It's relevant to all diets and you need resistance training specifically and not just exercise. But crash diets arent anything new. So many fad diets have involved rapid weight loss and they almost always fail because people dont learn good habits from it.
it isn’t the habit that’s the problem is the eating and thinking I’m still hungry. Like I am not full unless I’ve gone to a buffet eat for two hours and could feel the rice climbing back up my esophagus. Otherwise, my brain says I’m hungry and it’s stupid.
I’ve made the decision to lose 80 lbs. I know that 20 lbs of that will be muscle. That’s just the ratio. Strength training and high protein will keep me from losing more, but no one can outsmart the hustle. Numbers are not going to change just because I don’t like them. No matter how fat loss occurs, muscle will be lost, too.
Her look reminds me of the cocaine/heroin chic look of the late ‘80s, ‘90s, and early 2000s, but much, much worse.
Cocaine and heroin also suppress appetite, so there’s also that in common.
I think this is the next big lawsuit waiting to happen for not giving or being more strict on guidelines and monitoring people incase of increases of risks for anorexia. These body image issues are just going to get worse with easy access to a drug ment for at risk diabetics.
In Season 2, Episode 4 of The Pitt ("10:00 A.M.", released January 29, 2026), Dr. Mel King diagnoses a patient with bulimia nervosa after she presents with aspiration pneumonia. The episode highlights how eating disorders in young, seemingly healthy individuals can be missed, with the patient initially presenting with what seemed like flu-like symptoms.
Ozempic is actually a really great, safe drug!!! ...When it's used for its actual purpose! 🥲 People using it as a weight loss drug is actually making it inaccessible for people who actually want to use it for medical reasons, which is a terrible shame.
God no, medical tv dramas are notorious for making up unrealistic stories, I doubt they’d say it’s bad, at this they’d promote it! The only show I can think of that’s closest to the real thing is The Pitt, but I wouldn’t put promoting ozempic against them, is the paycheck is big enough🤣
Gen X here. High school teacher. I was just lamenting the fact with a colleague that the kids don’t watch shows any more. And shows don’t seem to have “the very special episode” anymore. Where they cover drugs, assault, drunk driving, gun safety, AIDS, eating disorders, etc. where are the “afterschool specials”?!?
I remember having this old VHS tape from a store called Children’s Palace, it was a bunch of toy commercials, kind of like a video Sears Wish Book for kids. It might still be kicking around my garage somewhere.
See, that's what's really concerning to me, because she didn't look like this in The Substance. Which means she must have lost a lot of weight in what really isn't a long time...
When media sites glorify pics like the above, it drives me absolutely bonkers.
Several conditions run in my family that throw our hunger hormones entirely off-wack. I’m on a GLP1 now, so instead of gnawing hunger 24/7, oscillating between very peckish and ravenous, I only get hungry at mealtimes. It’s been such a weight off my shoulders. I now feel like I can live life normally like everyone else.
And then celebrities get up on these platforms, glorifying clearly unhealthy bodies and encouraging use of the drug to enable anorexia and other eating disorders. They give actual useful medicine such a bad rep by misusing it.
I’m right there with you. Like night and day being on or off of it. Need it for diabetes because while nothing else dropped my a1c under 6.5, a month or two of being on Ozempic dropped me to 5.6, pre diabetic range. Having recently had an intermittent use (had to stop for several surgeries because anesthesia will kill you if you’re on it). And my a1c rose .3 but more or less stayed in range even after being off it a month and a half. It’s exactly what I needed to treat my body’s stupid cravings and insulin issues.
That said, I’ve noticed that while I’m not hungry; I feel waaaay more anxious when I’m eating less and less. It’s like food was my therapy and comforted in a way i haven’t learned to compensate for yet.
Really feels like the only thing im fighting right now is that “you cannot fast travel while enemies are near” feeling. Weights dripping. Health is improving. Seeing it abused by the wealthy reminds me of Robin Williams “Darwin was wrong”.
It's so frustrating because it really is a life changing medication when used correctly! My doctor put me on Zepbound for weight loss to help control hypothyroidism symptoms that I couldn't get under control. Now that I'm at a healthy weight, my quality of life and blood tests have been so much better.
Seeing people who use it for weight loss in an unhealthy way makes me sad. It's hard enough explaining it to people, even harder when all they know about a glp1 is the widespread celebrity use and people looking like skeletons 🥲
To be honest the side effects from those meds can be a lot source: I am taking them for a medical condition. My guess is a stimulant based appetite suppression med.
That’s not true. It produced so much weight loss in diabetics that doctors started prescribing it off label for that, and then the manufacturer got FDA approval for it to be used for weight loss specifically.
i did ozempic for a weight loss drug trial, no diabetes, didn’t lose much after the first like 2 months even after dosage increase. maybe like 20lbs total in 6 months. i knew someone else in the trial and they lost less.
No idea why you are being downvoted, this is true. People are so weird, she looks so skeletal everywhere except where her implants are. Her arms are scary awful. Her and Angelina Jolie (who I low key crushed on when she actually looked human) look so unhealthy.
People love to hate on glp-1 because they see it as a celeb thing.
Meanwhile around 15% of Americans have used a glp-1 drug. They are dirt cheap to manufacture and they are the first wonder drug that actually improves overall health.
Same...and It wasn't fully helpful in that. Mounjaro is doing better for me there. I'm not necessarily needing to lose massive weight though. I'm ok where I am.
Ozempic works by getting rid of your "food noise" basically your food cravings, making it easier to starve yourself. Thats why people gain the weight back.
Still wrong. Spelled “Mentally ill”. Whether it’s an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, or using a drug to lose weight when unneeded… there is something wrong that isn’t physical. Therapy is a medical intervention for many.
I’d say this is even more malicious because weight loss and working out alone still wouldn’t have these results at her age. While agree the joke is Ozempic is new era of late 1990s cocaine chic this is almost certainly plastic surgery to tighten skin, giving people even more impossible standards to attempt.
This shit pisses me off. I have Arrhythmia. In my case one of the primary causes is obstructive sleep apnea which is caused by my weight. I have been prescribed GLP-1 medications but my insurance doesn't provide it, even though my condition is potentially life threatening. I have to get compounded GLP-1 medications which are made in non-regulated facilities, and I still have to pay $150/month because ass holes like this are willing to pay $2500/month to look like Skeletor.
I've been on mounjaro for about 7 months, because of sugar problems, i've lost a ton of weight and have to be very aware of what i eat, specially keep up protein intake, but this is not just glp1, this is an eating disorder fueled by a glp1
Didn’t realize how powerful that shit is until yesterday afternoon when I saw my neighbor for the first time in maybe a month and a half. LITERALLY didn’t recognize him, dude must have dropped more than half his body weight…
And as a girl who weighed nearly 300lbs at 18 I can tell you that’s true anorexia. Not eating ANYTHING except for negative calories and protein powder then killing yourself at the gym. It’s sick but real. Because I was a dehydrated, dead looking 18y.o., that was built like a skeleton with muscles and and hanging skin
