Semaglutide Now Approved by NHS
- abe94 4y agoThe National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) concluded semaglutide, marketed as Wegovy, is safe, effective and affordable. Delivered via an injection into the skin, the drug makes people feel fuller and more satisfied, so they eat less.
- pid-1 4y agoI was prediabetic in 2020 and lost 40kg in 3 years. Ozempic helped A LOT. I had to do my homework with exercise + therapy, but this drug made dieting a breeze. It felt like cheating. Not sure if my experience agrees with any science, but when I was fat I would constantly feel hungry. My mood was terrible. Exercising sucked for physical and mental reasons. Nowadays maintaining a reasonably healthy routine is much easier, I don't feel as hungry (even after stopping with the drug) and exercising is actually enjoyable.
- exfatloss 4y agoWow, 40kg is super impressive! Could you share a little bit about the experience? My experience is also that it is just super difficult to eat less/exercise more when your metabolism is already wrecked. Sounds like that just "went away?" Maybe these drugs really are "it" if they found that button to push.
