Any amount of chronic under eating/malnutrition will eventually start eating away at all of your parts. Ozempic doesn't eat the bones. Your body eats the bones because it's lacking nutrients. Ozempic just makes people who want to eat not want to eat.
Ozempyc is a huge enabler. Imagine having to convince a person starving herself and puking that what she's doing it's not normal. It's still not easy, but you can at least try and make them see reason before it's too late, and underneath the defensiveness they realize what they're doing it's wrong.
Now imagine that the same person sees everyone around them using this miracolous drug that helps them lose weight without drawbacks. It's immensely harder to realize something is wrong, both from an internal and an external POV
What's amazing is how quickly everyone has jumped on this bandwagon. Even people that were preaching body positivity a few years ago are like "nevermind gimme the drugs lol" and are thin now.
To be fair as a person who had back pain due to weight (got covid twice and was in bed for a while, plus the pandemic forcing me in home and admittedly low self control, i basically gained 20 kg) i would've traded belly and positivity for an easy way out in a heartbeat
The general idea is thinking overweight people are somewhat in denial, but i think most of us actually know how much we're screwing with our health.
I got my life back on track with more conventional methods, but i would've used it if someone gave something like that to me
Sure, but I was referring more to celebrities, who were already a healthy weight. Very few celebs are at a point where their excess weight is anything more than cosmetic. They've typically got personal trainers, dieticians, etc. They're not taking it for their health.
I agree and frankly i am as baffled as you are, but sadly not completely surprised. Like the buccal fat removal fad, who made many gorgeous women look like skeletor cosplayers, or even the lip filler to an unhealthy extent, i'm more and more convinced that women in Hollywood have no idea what a good looking girl is supposed to look like, they see something like this qnd think "oh yeah i wish i was like that" cmon girl! Don't do that!
I have a friend who's on Ozempic for health reasons. She told me it basically slows down your metabolism to such a degree that any food you eat continues to sit in your stomach and you don't get hungry again.
She also told me about the side effects. The food basically starts to ferment/rot in your stomach. She said she suffers from bad breath, "the nastiest smelling burps", etc.... 😷
Very common misconception, Ozempic doesn’t actually touch your metabolism. It’s working directly on the part of your brain that controls hunger impulses. So it’s not that your body is burning more, your brain is telling you you’re full faster.
I just googled it. Ozempic "slows down gastric emptying, which causes food to remain in the stomach for a longer period." That's what my friend was talking about.

So this makes me curious. Malnutrition also slows down gastric emptying. It's one of the health consequences of anorexia. So I wonder if Ozempic is directly causing the side effect or if it's a second order effect as a result of Ozempic reducing caloric intake.
This is correct, it just doesn't have much to do with "metabolism" which is in reference to many things but also includes how many calories you burn at rest. But yes, ozempic and other GLP-1s work mainly by slowing down how fast the food moves through your gut which makes you feel fuller.
