My country ass didnt even know what these were. Then I realized its just a single layer of pumpkin cake when I looked it up.
Naw, bro. The gluttonous, screaming fat cells of my body were twitching at the sweet potato casserole this year. Just a fucking spoon of that shit and I wanted to just go over and grab the whole fucking pan after that. My willpower was definitely tested day before yesterday.

Good summary and mostly my experience too. I've plateaued a few times over the past year and am now up to 7.5 a week (max dose is 15 I think). Its been slow but steady and MOST important, I don't hate my life after a month like I did on all other diets.

Find a yogurt without sugar, or a low amount. Chobani makes a zero sugar version, but I happen to think Chobani tastes like paste.
I settled on dannon light and fit Greek, 150 calories, 8 carbs, 12 protein, actually tastes like yogurt.
Your mileage may vary.

I just got myself used to plain greek, I'm not a fan of how the fake sugars come across in most yogurts. I prefer to just add or have with some nuts, dried/fresh fruit, or muesli . I also don't pay very close attention to fat as long as it isn't a bunch of processed oils.

These fucking things are the devil. Big ass cups for just 80 calories & 12G protein.
Gotta shake the shit out of the ones with fruit. My favorites are the Peach and the Blueberry ones. Problem is, some days my inner self will just scream to have a second one.

I suppose you could do either. But I think it mixes the actual fruit better. Dude... such an inane comment. tf

Why would you remove the fat and add sugar in anyway to an otherwise perfectly fine yogurt?
Also, I know someone who worked at Danone, they're not the worst quality out there, but still, in the 90’s he was talking about how they had trouble fermenting yogurt because there was too much antibiotic in the milk.
So while eating fermented milk guarantee that you don’t have insane amount of antibiotics left in it, you probably still have some which might severly reduce the gut benefit.
So organic cost $1 per pound, probably worth it.

Coworkers wife took Ozempic, 205 at the start. Took it for 3 months and dropped to 175, plateau can’t lose anymore weight so she ups the dosage, gets down to 160 plateaus again. Happy at 160 and not willing to up the dosage anymore because the thought of food just made her depressed and she couldn’t finish any amount of food she put on her plate at this point.
Six months 45 pounds lost, off the ozempic she goes. Within a month she was back to 185 because she lowered her caloric intake so low while on ozempic her basil metabolic rate plummeted and with nothing to suppress her appetite she ate like a normal person and ballooned up.
She then went back on it, lost the weight again but now she has ozempic face, is weak, depressed and my coworker wants his fat wife back because he says she looks and behaves like a zombie.
This shit isn’t good for you, don’t use it. Eat lots of protein, avoid highly processed foods, avoid sugar, go to the gym 2-4 times a week for an hour and take creatine. You’ll learn good habits, eat good and grow muscle and that’s something all of us old fucks are going to need as we begin to lose muscle due to age, don’t use ozempic which is known to cause you to lose muscle.

Like most things that are advertised as "fit" or "healthy" - they arent. The biggest take away from those is that theyre relatively cheap. 80 Calories, which you can burn off in 10 minutes at a slow walk. Has protein to help you meet or exceed your protein goals. Lastly, and most importantly, it fills you up a bit. Its more psychological than physical, even though RFK is probably twitching at the thought of it.
"She started eating like a normal person" - If she's ballooning up, she's not eating like a normal person. I dont know if its just because I got skinny on my own merit's instead of using Ozempic or Wagove or w/e - but Im ultra/keenly aware of how many calories shit has in it now. If my BMR is 1857, I knock out 2/3's of that number by just eating a basic burrito at Chipotle without all the extra additions to it. Hell, if I add all the other shit like cheese and Guac - I bet I could just make that a meal for the whole day. Then, my metabolism and blood sugar is going to be erratic and fuck my shit up even worse.
I think Ozempic and similar is "terrible" - let me be clear. But I am more than supportive of the people that use it and lose weight. "Zombie" face and all that shit is unfortunate, but losing that weight is far more beneficial than the detriments that we've learned about the drug "so far."
