#FDA #WeightLoss #Medication
Sounds promising. Very skeptical of something touted to be this easy for losing weight instead of exercise and a consistent diet. For the people who genuinely might need something lile this, it would be wise to consult their doctor just to ensure its safety in the user, not only its effectiveness.
So the news and the government is killing us 😂
Despite the economic downturn,I’m so happy☺️, I have been earning $23,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
Same here, i will praise Wilson over and over again because he has great skills, i started with $4300 and after 2week i received a returns of $19,600 then i continue with him ever since he has been delivering.
Please how, I’m still a newbie on investment trading.
After watching so many YouTube tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses untill Wilson Barkley started managing my investment now, I make $11,800 weekly. God bless Wilson .He has been a blessing to my family.
I engage in various prolific investments by compound interest & leveraging and as well operating with an investment professional Mr Wilson Barkley.
Doubted this before giving it a try, and didn’t regret trading with Mr Willson his the best broker so far
THIS weight loss drug curbs your appetite which is actually a good thing for those that don’t have Jesus Christ or the mark of the beast because they won’t be hungry when the beast activate the mark & the money we use now won’t be used anymore soon!!!
6 months from now people will be dying from this drug 🙄🙄 addiction?
Have people ever considered moving more and eating less? It’s not just free, it actually saves you money and makes you feel good at the same time.
For most people, thats perfectly reasonable, but for some people, they’re in certain situations, where its more complicated than that. Still gonna reiterate for most people it is sometimes just as simple as moving more and eating less. But take someone like me for example. I operate on a caloric deficit almost every day, I walk most places I go, lift weights, and most of the food I eat is home cooked, well balanced meals with decent ingredients. And yet I’m still overweight, and I’ve been having to see a doctor recently as I’ve developed blood pressure issues. So theres a more complicated medical circumstance. I think people like me should consider options like this, and I’m certainly going to…of course I’ll probably wait a while, watch how it performs publicly first, then maybe try it if I can afford it, which I probably can’t
@Ano Nymous Unless you have a problem with you thyroid gland that shouldn’t be a problem. It means that you still eat too much, the other option is that you are so obese that the fat has become unaccecible for easy burning(I forgot how that was called) so it requires longer times of not eating food.
You should feel hungry everyday btw and you should absolutely try keto dieting. If you are eating to the point you don’t feel hungry, then it’s easy to assume you are eating too much.
And again the exception is not the rule, as you said yourself, over 90% of overweight people have no real excuse.
I take phenq, and the answer is yes! I’ve exercised daily for years and have struggled everyday with my calorie intake.
Before being on phenq, it was just impossible for me to eat less. It felt like I was not in control of my actions. Being on this medication, it’s just a simple matter of having willpower. Eating less is possible now, and I also lost 42 lbs in 3 months
I wonder if these people made much effort to exercise daily and eat a healthy diet before using this drug.
If you can afford a healthy diet anymore, and have the time to be a gym rat and kitchen ninja.
AND if genetics didn’t take a big ‘ol steaming dump on you. I may have that time now, and had daily PT in the service, but not home when kids are growing up. Working out is easy when you’re already in shape, young, or employment/parenting situation allows. It’s a show stopper if you’re not.
Probably not
Great, start handing them out at Disney world and trump rallies.
Because eating too much and not exercising are unstoppable forces of nature. 🙄
Obese people only lost 40 lbs after *72 weeks?!*
That’s terrible. For $1k/month?! LOL!!!
I just lost about 50 lbs in 6 months not doing anything dramatic except limiting my food intake without starving myself & light weight lifting. I credit my mental health for being able to do that in a healthy manner. People try to do too much too fast and fail. Your head has to be in the right place.
Official drug dealers with impunity
legalizing cocaine to fight weight loss would be more ethical. we have the most corrupt govt on earth.
Great. My Mounjaro cost $457 per month. Lost almost 80lbs, but it is expensive 😢
Expensive, but still worth it, though. I used phenq which cost lesser (less than $70 per month) and I was able to lose 42 lbs in less than 3 months
@MargaretMouton Phentermine, right? I used it but developed insomnia, HBP, and mold swings. I wish I could use that since it is less expensive
@Becca M I’m sorry you developed that. Did you talk to them about it? Cause I never experience any side effects taking it. Well, body constitution differs
@Becca M Those I recommended it to never complained about the side effects, except few cases of nausea. I usually advice my subscribers to start off with one bottle, try it for a month and see how it goes
@MargaretMouton A lot of people developed insomnia, though. You are one of the lucky ones. I did talk to my Dr about it and had to stop using it.
Quite expensive. Well, i was spending similar amount before September 2021, when I bumped into what you would call a GOLD MINE. I saw an old friend at Walmart who had lost so much weight and got in shape. 3 months later, I lost 42 lbs and now have the body shape I always wanted.
Yall keep believing that…😂😂😂 the best way to lose weight is changing your diet, cutting back on sugary foods and exercise. Facts
That one probably won’t be covered by insurance either
It gives cancer. Don’t take it.
We have now entered a stage where the cause is selling you the cure . Buy it
Interesting news!
It doesn’t matter Phentermine works for me but a doctor won’t prescribe it so I can’t get it This will just be something I can’t afford so it won’t make a difference it won’t be available to the public
This cost way more than my social security check is so it’s not available to the public
