    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.

          Sure, I understand that. I’m just wondering if people are looking at it as an “I don’t have to exercise” cheat.
