Most people use it for ever because they also don't change their diet , they still eat the same crap just less of it, and don't exercise. Once they stop using ozempic they go back to eating more bad food.
I think using it as an aid to help develope new good habits or reset your body signals is the way.
80% of my diet calories are very good, home cooked food using real basic ingredients, I eat fresh fruit and vegetables everyday. It's that 20% of junk that's bad, bikkies, lollies, occasional desserts, fried food.
And the side effects, absolutely minimal and unproven . The side effects of obesity are guaranteed, debilitating and often fatal .
That makes sense. About 5 years ago I did the whole body transformation thing and it was great. But! It was too extreme and I ended up (also due to lockdown) putting back about 40% of what I lost. It can be really easy to get carried away with the whole gym/eating/aesthetics thing, almost to the point of giving oneself an eating disroder. This time I'm trying to be smart by offsetting the junk I eat with healthy main meals and not religeously counting calories.
