Heather,  just my opinion in a nice way,  try weight watchers points plus program.   I have used and stayed with it since the beginning.  These drugs that are being used are off the hook!!  I am a retired RN and have done my homework.  Exercise and limit calories (points) do the trick.  Oh, and also apple cider vinegar.  It will not harm you.  Sincerely.

I have read there are plans to lower the prices on these drugs and have Medicare coverage. Have you checked prices on all the different brands? I have 3 friends doing very well on these drugs. Good luck.

Four of my co-workers are on the drug and they all look great. I have three family members on them and they all say they love it and it is worth it.

Re: Posted photo of myself & see how I am unhealthy

In my opinion, I would not take any drugs to lose weight. You never know How it will affect you and there's always side effects or long-term effects that can do harm. I would advise drinking a lot of water, eating a variety of different fruits which helps greatly with losing weight and some walking or exercise.  Perhaps speak with a dietitian who can help you change your diet and give you some guidance.  We all go through this in our life for the most part. The more you think about it, it can add stress which can add weight, so keep that in mind as well.

@HeatherAngel - I have never tried Ozempic or Peptides someone here on the forum shared her experiences with Carnivore diet thought she was crazy at first not knowing anything about it then one day after watching my weight reach 164lbs with my bloated belly and breast swollen - face eczema irritation nothing helped relieve the excessive dry skin swollen all over though only size 12 felt completely uncomfortable in my body.

This is my experience not telling you or anyone else to do carnivore diet you asked so I'm sharing what worked for me and continues with primary physician sign off completely.

The healing happened quickly within one week couldn't believe my eyes lost 5inches off my belly and eczema had healed stood in awe looking at myself needless to say speechless.
Inflammation all over continued healing long list of issues especially swelling everywhere including under my eyes puffiness left lol no amount of eye cream helped me.

I've reached my weight goal 126lbs - walk avg 20000 to 25000 everyday before couldn't do more than 2000 additional water exercise in my pool and started strength training with weights nothing crazy. There's not enough words to express my happiness with carnivore I'm a different person not only health benefits - physically and mentally.

@HealtherAngel - wishing you all the very best. 🤩

@PixieStar That's fantastic!  It sounds like you are very happy with your results!  Good for you!

 

  As for me, I lost weight a few years ago when I went on a Keto diet but over time I sort of fell off of it and started to eat carbs again.  They can be highly addictive. 

 

So once again I will give the low carb way of eating a try and maybe fit some carnivore meals in too.

@PixieStar I think that's the problem with most people who need to lose weight.  Many just don't realize how addicting sugar/simple carbs are!  Once you get past that it becomes so much easier to stick with a healthy food plan.
