I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Totally agree! People should definitely try to lose weight the normal way, but I do also agree that they can take this drug to help them with the process if they are overweight by a big margin, but not look at it as long term solution.

I agree!

Happily using a GLP1 💁🏼‍♀️

So I'm torn on this. So first when you say diabetic you should know its for type 2s. Not type 1s. I have no clue what ones are prescription but most are. You said they are still eating the same amount but that typically isn't true. It suppresses the appetite. So I'm not sure how they are eating the same amount. BUT it disgusts me that healthy athletes are in the commercials. And I think someone who is taking it SHOULD eat better and be exercising. I have seen a lot of people who take it say they do. But sadly that probably isn't everyone. Now if someone has a side effect I really won't care. It was their choice to get on it.

I agree to an extent. It should be available for people who need it. The issue is when celebrities abuse it and use it to become unhealthy.

I was really supportive of the people in my life taking this stuff because I know they’ve struggled, and I thought for the short term it was a great idea to become healthier. And it’s been great, but the minute they stopped they piled the weight back on and are now either back on it or considering going back on it, and I can see where this is going - long term dependence. The medication doesn’t address the underlying issues and side effects can be pretty extreme so to take it long term just seems like a really bad idea.

I've seen it change lives though. It's no different from any crash diet- these often result in putting the weight back on once the diet stops. The people using it properly are making huge lifestyle changes alongside it in order to become healthier. I don't actually think it's true that people are still eating a calorie surplus either. Idk, a lot of people do abuse it, it's not something that should be taken lightly for the sake of losing a few kg to make yourself skinny. But I think it gives hope to people who would never have lost the weight otherwise. Being overweight can be a vicious cycle, you get judged constantly by people who think you should just lose the weight, as if it's that easy, then you do something a bit more drastic and people have to turn around and judge that too. I strongly considered it last year. If I hadn't had success with weight loss I would have taken it. Not everyone uses it properly but those who do have made amazing long term changes to their lives and I think that's a good thing.

I’ve seen random mums from my daughters school selling weight loss injections on their Facebook, sounds scary to me.

These drugs are literally life changing. And yes. They are going to be for life for most people. Just like medication for ANY chronic disease.

And anyway, cocaine was once used as weight loss, drug and cure at all drug and aren’t we all glad that it is now illegal and regulated?

it can be life changing and a great asset for some while currently also being wildly overused and under regulated and being used as a crutch on a society that actually needs healthier, cheaper whole foods, walkable cities, and higher wages so people actually have the resources and time to live healthier lives instead of making themselves dependent on a drug that’s supply can’t be promised, and it’s just one more thing that’s a financial barrier to having a culturally accepted body. Because of the normalization of the drug there’s supply issues and the costs have spiked and so people are going on mock drugs that have even more side effects
