I hope all of the people using Ozempic and Mounjaro to lose weight without a perscription and the celebrities having fucking "Ozempic and Mounjaro Parties" are enjoying it because I (a person who actually needs it for diabetes management and has a perscription) am about to miss my 3rd week of shots because I've called 3 pharmiacies and not a single one has it.

Pair carbs (and sugars) with fiber, heathy fats, and/or lean protein to decrease an insulin spike, inflammation, and weight gain.

What happens when people avoid sugar?

They eat more fat and become fatter, sadder and more insulin resistant.

I'm not shaming anyone, I'm just sharing knowledge.

Insulin resistance and my time by the sea

allow me to be giddy for a second :D

around a month and a half or so ago, I was diagnosed with an insulin resistance after some blood sugar tests and visits to an endocrinologist. I went in for a regular thyroid checkup, but did the blood sugars just for the shits of it yk.

Welp, since then, I've lost around 10 kg in 20-ish days :DD I stopped taking insulin medication that the doc prescribed me cuz it made me real nauseous and he said I can go without it as my case isn't that bad.

Ngl I'm kinda proud of myself! 6am morning walk with my mother, then swimming, then lunch, then more swimming, and an evening walk. For the past 7 day I've kept a 14k+ steps streak, which is 10+ kilometers for me, with the smallest one being 14.5k and largest 28k

I feel so much better. My skin is better(but still bothersome), and I'm no longer pregnant looking from constant bloat :D Even some definition can be seen on my legs which is so cool

The diet change is a bit drastic but I don't mind as much except for sweet cravings.

Hopefully I can keep up this sorta activity and diet when I move back abroad for uni.

Currently I weigh 71kg. Let's go for 69 bros!

Wegovy Update!

**TW: weight loss, talking about weight, dieting*

Finished my month on 0.25 MG, and now I’m up to 0.5 MG!

On 0.25 MG:

- Side effects were the worst the first week. Usually after taking a dose, the effects were most felt after the first 2 days: no appetite, didn’t have cravings/didn’t eat much, very tired, and my metabolism was THROUGH THE ROOF. Like absolutely through the roof: before when exercising it felt like I had to go very extreme when working out to produce any results or get my BPM up. Now if I’m getting myself up to a moderate work-up, my BPM is at a healthy, easily obtainable range. Otherwise, I was mostly fine taking 0.25 MG. I’d gotten p good at self-injecting too!

-The dose began to wear out on me after week 3 or so. I began wanting to eat more and have minimal cravings again. I knew I’d probably need to go up a dose soon.

-I lost 4 lbs in a month!! 💃🏻🎉

On 0.5 MG:

-Currently I’m on week 2 of 0.5 MG. I skipped the initial dose when I was supposed to go up because I was going to travel internationally, and I didn’t want to 1) Travel with the pen and inject myself somewhere foreign and 2) Stress my body out more while traveling with foreign foods, jet lag, etc. On Wegovy you can skip/miss doses for a week so long as you get back on within 48 hrs the original dosing date. (I was gone for a week and a half- before I left I took my last 0.25 MG dose, skipped the week I was gone, and came back to take 0.5 MG!)

-On the first dose, I took it shortly after I got back to the US. The first few days I felt nothing much. Usual appetite loss, no cravings- but I felt like I ate MORE because I just got back to the US and was having to adjust back to eating. I could argue I was extremely tired/sleepy, but it could’ve been the jet lag.

-The days leading up to my next dose, I had stomach cramps and a loooot of bloating. Going to the bathroom hurt. It was surprising how much my symptoms changed. But after the bathroom I always felt better. Working out does help alleviate a bit of the stomach cramping/bloating.

-I just took my second week dose last night. Right now my stomach feels tight/sore, and I feel pretty tired. Right after any dose I feel pretty exhausted. I have NO appetite and I am not wanting to eat. I’m still making myself eat something nutritious with protein though.

Those are my updates with Wegovy. I seem to be finding success with it 💕 I plan on either getting a personal trainer or going to a weight training 101 class, because I honestly don’t know how to weight train my body effectively for several reasons lmao. I also need to see a doctor about my fucked up shoulder- I can’t effectively weight train because my left shoulder is wrecked, but I don’t want it to stop my progress.

I’ll keep posting every once in a while!

Why Your Current Diet Isn't Working: The Truth About Losing Belly Fat

Are you struggling to lose belly fat despite following a strict diet plan? You're not alone. Many people experience frustration and disappointment when they don't see the results they expect from their diet. But why does this happen? Let's take a closer look at the truth about losing belly fat and why your current diet may not be working.

Understanding Belly Fat

Belly fat, also known as visceral fat, is the type of fat that accumulates around the waistline and can lead to a variety of health problems. This type of fat is more dangerous than subcutaneous fat, which is the fat that accumulates just beneath the skin. Belly fat is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions.

Why Your Current Diet May Not Be Working

One of the main reasons why your current diet may not be working is that it's not designed to specifically target belly fat. Many diets focus on reducing overall body weight rather than targeting specific areas of the body. While losing weight is important, it's equally important to focus on reducing belly fat, which requires a specific approach.

Another reason why your current diet may not be working is that it's not sustainable. Many diets require you to restrict your calorie intake to an unhealthy level, which can lead to feelings of deprivation and can be difficult to maintain in the long run. To lose belly fat, it's important to follow a diet that is sustainable and provides all the necessary nutrients for your body to function properly.

The Truth About Losing Belly Fat

The truth about losing belly fat is that it requires a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. To lose belly fat, you need to create a calorie deficit by burning more calories than you consume. This can be achieved through a combination of cardio and strength training exercises, as well as by following a healthy, balanced diet.

The Role of Diet in Losing Belly Fat

Diet plays a crucial role in losing belly fat. To reduce belly fat, you need to focus on foods that are high in protein and fiber, and low in refined carbohydrates and sugar. Protein and fiber help keep you feeling full and satisfied, while also helping to build lean muscle mass. Refined carbohydrates and sugar, on the other hand, can lead to insulin resistance and an increase in belly fat.

To reduce belly fat, it's important to eat a variety of foods, including lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. It's also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Avoiding processed foods, sugary drinks, and alcohol can also help you lose belly fat.

Exercise and Belly Fat

Exercise is also a crucial component in losing belly fat. Cardiovascular exercise, such as running, swimming, or cycling, can help burn calories and reduce overall body fat. Strength training exercises, such as weight lifting, can help build lean muscle mass, which in turn helps to increase metabolism and burn more calories.

It's important to note that spot reduction, or targeting specific areas of the body for fat loss, is not possible. To lose belly fat, you need to reduce overall body fat through a combination of diet and exercise.

Lifestyle Changes for Losing Belly Fat

In addition to diet and exercise, lifestyle changes can also play a role in losing belly fat. Getting enough sleep is important for weight loss and overall health. Lack of sleep can lead to an increase in cortisol, a hormone that is associated with belly fat. Managing stress through techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing can also help reduce belly fat.

Losing belly fat is not an easy process, but it is possible with the right combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. To see results, it's important to focus on reducing belly fat through a sustainable diet and exercise plan, as well as making lifestyle changes to support your weight loss goals. It's important to remember that there is no quick fix or magic pill when it comes to losing belly fat, and that it takes time and effort to achieve lasting results.

If you're struggling to lose belly fat despite following a healthy diet and exercise plan, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual health status and help you develop a plan that is safe and effective for you.

In summary, losing belly fat requires a multi-faceted approach that involves a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. By focusing on reducing overall body fat, eating a healthy diet, and incorporating exercise into your daily routine, you can achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall health and well-being.

(please be advised that i am ranting about weird diet myths around sugar and fruit, and also addressing annoying and wrong comments i read recently with a hypothetical "you". I am not talking to you, the reader)

I decided to be mature today and look after my stress level and Not start what is sure to be internet beef by telling people in a comment section that sugar molecules are not magically different when they come out of an orange. I even get worse blood sugar spikes from grapes than from chocolate because that also has fat which slows down metabolisation so blood sugar rises more slowly. "But fruit also has vitamins and fibres wah wah wah" still doesn't mean fruit has chemically different sugar molecules than refined sugar (made from plants btw!!) and also not the fucking point. There is slightly different sugars which have different prevalence but funnily enough fruit has quite a lot of the sugar monomer that has a higher glycemic index, and at the end absolutely every carbohydrate except indigestible ones (mostly cellulose, which we know as fibre!) becomes glucose and gets turned into ATP which fuels your body. "But the fibre in fruit" thats why we eat meals with hopefully all types of nutrients in (including fibre) and then that fucking oreo also has some fibre to accompany it. Besides the fact that it already has less of a blood sugar spike than fruit because of the fat content. "But the vitamins!!!!!!!" I promise you will not die of scurvy if you don't eat 300% the recommended intake of vitamin c every day, you will be fine. Go worry about some vitamins that arent in fruit, or vitamin d. And read a fucking wikipedia article on different sugar molecules and where they are found while you're at it please i am begging. "The evil fructose in fructose syrup is different than good fructose in fruit" please employ one braincell and read that again omg.

(disclaimer fruit is not bad, i do like vitamins too, and if you don't have blood sugar issues the glycemic index of it (how much it spikes the blood sugar) is nothing you need to be concerned about. also reminder that vegetables also contain vitamins and fibre and shit, because sometimes this fact gets lost in the heated discussions around fruits)

Hellooo,

I just wanted to start this blog off by opening my heart about what has been going on with me. Recently I had a very thorough medical examination and it turns out im kind of fucked. My insulin levels are off the charts, my thyroid gland is having problems, my menstrual cycle is a mess and if i don’t take care of my weight very soon, i’ll be sure to develop diabetes and PCOS…

I’ve blamed myself for my failures in the past but not as strongly as i have for letting my body rot to this point. I’m willing to improve my life but I know that it isn’t going to be easy. I’m lost and panicled but i have good doctors on my side as well as my family.

Still, I feel like being even a little anonymous on this blog is going to help me get on track a little easier. I need to keep myself accountable and avoid falling back into unhealthy habits.

So yeah, this is my weight loss blog.

I will update again tomorrow since I will be consulting with my doctor about the specifics such as calories, macros, exercise regime and medication : )

[eatclean-bewhole]

Rethink intense cardio and pick up the weights! It is good to keep cardio in the mix, but overdoing cardio could potentially lead to unwanted hormonal changes that may hinder fat loss. This is especially detrimental if you are already experiencing a hormone imbalance or if you’re in perimenopause. I love me a good swim or cycle session, but resistance training is a must! 💪🏽

Resistance Training!

IN THE CONFINES OF MY WEIGHT ROOM, amidst the clinking of iron and the rhythmic grunts of determined younger weightlifters around me, I chase strength and size. Alas, I am 61.

Just spent ages on this 🥺💛✨🌙🌻🍋

My meals are gonna vary slightly from week to week but I think it’s a good baseline. I struggle with holding myself accountable and not sticking to goals, so I’m hoping this will help keep me in check and motivated.
