I’m really tired of prescribing ozempic. It’s the only thing I have access to that works, but it’s not the wonder drug people think it is. Pretty much every other day I have to give the same speech about informed choice around it and how it works. I look forward to a brave new era where there are half a dozen others on the market that I have to give a slightly different speech about.
Do you have to adopt an exercise regimen with Ozempic or does the weight come off without exercise? The latter seems like a bad idea, which is why I’m curious.
For most it’s an appetite suppressant. Bear in mind, exercise is rarely a weight loss tool. It’s very important but it’s not really a way to lose weight
I lost 40 pounds mainly through exercise. I didn’t do heavy calorie restriction or anything.
Great work! It’s not that it’s not possible. It’s just not common.

I’m not aware of any specific evidence that you “have to” with Ozempic but lots of general evidence that exercise is beneficial including with other means of weight loss.Sure, I understand that. I’m just wondering if people are looking at it as an “I don’t have to exercise” cheat.
