Tried it Twice so far well before it was known about for weight loss
First one I was so sick after 2 months on it that I nearly collapsed with the pain while in another fabbers bedroom after a social
I made excuses and left
Second time I was feeling sick the whole time so gave up
Not for me |

"Thanks , can you get it under the counter ? Or only off doc "
Presume you meant over the counter
No its only available on a prescription
You start off with very small doses and work your way up
It's actually hard to get unless you need it for diabetes as chemist's run short |

If you're looking to pharmaceuticals for weight loss you're wasting your time. You need a mindset and lifestyle change for effective weight loss.
Start by changing your diet, whether that's by reducing portion sizes/meals or by switching to different foods or a combination of the two.
* Drink lots and lots of water. For men, the recommended daily intake is 4 litres per day. Hit that. Then exceed it.
* Be prepared to feel hungry. And when you do, drink water first. We often mistake hunger for thirst.
* Eat fruit. Doesn't matter which fruit. Just eat it. Especially if you're looking for a snack between meals. You can eat as much fruit and veg as you like between meals.
* Balance your diet. Make sure you're getting in proteins and carbs as well as fats, fibres and sugars.
* You don't need to be militant about it. If you want that slice of cake, have it. Just don't make a habit of it.
* Be disciplined.
* Exercise is great. It helps burn kilojoules, gets you into better shape and it releases endorphins which make you feel good. Start small. Make it a habit. Get a gym/walking buddy. There are other people who also need help staying motivated & you might be exactly who they're looking for.
Forget the drugs. Make the lifestyle and mindset changes. You'll be happier, healthier and meet new people. |

So, I agree with your life style stuff and that mindset is what wins it long term but I absolutely disagree that there are no good pharmaceuticals.
Ozempic is tough and if you find it to rough for you I'd suggest saxenda by prescription once a doctor has evaluated you.
There are also a lot of gym rat options and for those I would suggest anyone researching look towards one's that are designed for the treatment of asthma or breathing issues. I'm not going to name them but they are extremely effective at weightloss.

Ozempic is a drug for life, like blood pressure tablets.
It takes time to get used to it, by slowly increasing the dose. It suppresses appetite and most people will lose weight. About 10% of body weight over a 6 month period. Although not everyone finds it easy to take, some have no issues. If you stop taking it your appetite will return and you will gain weight.
As a weight loss drug it's very expensive for an average return but as a drug for other issues like diabetes and associated illnesses it can be excellent.
€160 a month if you want it for weight loss, don't be thick and buy it on the streets, you wouldn't know what you're taking.
If you have an illness it may be available on medical card which is a bit more realistic if you're on it for life.
My experience has been very positive and I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it and whose life would be greatly changed by a 10% weight reduction.
For example if you're 12 stone of which 3 stone is over ideal BMI you may get down to 10.5 but will this change your life ?
Speak to your doctor and discuss it properly, don't take advice on the Internet including this post. |

My general approach to life is to avoid pills as much as I possibly can. Not for any kinda tinfoil hat reasons, just don't like taking drugs unless I have to.
And this would very much be the pot calling the kettle black - I'm on the heavier side myself. Built more like a prop forward than a fly half. |
