- Weight Loss- real life results vs studies
I follow information on GLP-1s since I am taking Ozempic and it typically says Ozempic is one of the lower overall weight loss drugs with a 5-15% reduction in weight. Ozempic studies appear to be...

- Ozempic worked for 1.5 years, then stopped. Anyone switched to Mounjaro in the same situation?
31F, PCOS, insulin resistance. I'm on 2 mg Ozempic. I started at 154 kg in April 2025 with my endocrinologist. In about a year and a half I lost 50 kg. I tracked calories and walked, with very...
