Yes, there are shortcuts. GLP1 enablers like the drugs being discussed here help to provide the hormone that gives the user a sense of fullness after eating. It’s a hormone that’s largely absent or depleted in people with eating disorders and obesity. I’ve said it several times but will say it...

Sorry but that’s a desperately misinformed view. These drugs are legitimately on sale online and that’s how the majority are purchased as the NHS is able to fund only chronically obese patients.

It’s worth checking the Mounjaro subforum on Reddit. If you search for alcohol you’ll find a lot of discussion. In a nutshell, most people say they’ve lost interest in drinking, either going from excessive to a small amount, or from a small amount to zero. But some people do report that it’s had...

Mounjaro is weekly. I think the previous generation (Wegovy, Ozempic etc) were/are daily but that seems like a faff. There are plenty of reputable outlets including Boots and Asda. MedExpress was mentioned. I’m going to use Simple Online Pharmacy because my sister in law used them and recommends...

They must be used alongside a healthier eating and exercise regime. That’s the whole point. Unfortunately some people will see the headlines and think these are miracle drugs that allow you to eat what you want while losing weight. That’s absolutely not the case. They reduce appetite so in fact...

A surprise to see Ashley Young in any team of the week but nice to see Veltmann and Buonanotte make it.

Great news, and exactly what I was hoping to hear. After doing plenty of research, I’ve just about decided to join you. I'm likely to order today.

It’s a perfectly sensible view but how it’s best implemented will vary. The important thing is to find what works for you. When I was a runner I used to read the great doctor-philosopher-runner Dr George Sheehan. One of his maxims, an appeal against over-prescriptive training advice, was "Every...

These drugs work only in conjunction with calorie-restricted diets and exercise regimes. They make it easier to stick to such programmes. In effect, yes. They are GLP1 agonists which means they reproduce the hormone (GLP1) that’s naturally released after eating, and which gives the feeling of...

No. It doesn't work as well.

Monster must be spending a fortune on marketing. I'm sure you've noticed that Fabian Hürzeler sits in front of 2 cans of the stuff at every single press conference.

It's hard to generalise. There's not really any such thing as 'young people' as a class. I keep reading that young people don't drink and go to bed at 9pm. I'm sure plenty do but certainly plenty don't from what I can see!

This class of drugs, and the way they work, have been passed as safe by both the NHS and FDA. People with a family history of thyroid cancer, and no doubt other conditions, are weeded out at the GP stage. They won't be prescribed. There are plenty of warnings aimed at particular groups. These...

It might I guess, yes, but eating plenty of fibre is part of the NHS recommendations for using weight loss / T2 Diabetes drugs.

Thanks. Mounjaro is once a week, and costs about £130 for a 4-week supply. Re your friend's behaviour, the important thing about the jabs is that they're not a panacea. I've read the NHS info, and without doubt you have to approach these things sensibly. You have to eat, and eat healthily...

Yes, one ot the fascinating aspects is that these drugs are now being linked to a range of other health benefits including lowering the risk of heart disease. I was reading an interesting thread on Reddit where dozens of commenters reported a loss of interest in drugs and alcohol, including...

Thanks. Some people do report side effects like nausea and constipation. Seems these aren't too bad for most people. A bit like Covid jabs, these things affect different people in diffferent ways. I wouldn't go to too much trouble researching this (though I appreciate the thought) as there's...

I know there's a general weight loss thread somewhere but I'm particularly interested in whether anyone has had experience of weight loss jabs like Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy etc? My wife's sister started using Mounjaro about a month ago and says it's done her a lot of good by reducing her...

Ah, an opportunity to quote the Millets-Shakespeare witticism. Apparently a sign once seen in Millet's window: Now is the discount of our winter tents.

I still think he’s a decent player, and would be open to going in for him again if we lose a couple of players. Most young players would opt to go to Chelsea, especially under a coach you’d just won the Championship with, and who'd praised you to the heavens. And then shortly after you arrive at...
