So my wife and I have been talking about this recently. She is not overweight, but after we had our child, she put on some extra weight. She's keen on losing it now and going back to her pre-pregnancy weight.
She's been very consistent in going to the gym and has seen some good results. But it does require a lot of motivation and effort.
She's tempted to ask our GP about Ozempic, but also afraid of unknown risks that comes with going off-label.
My opinion is that she should continue in the old-fashioned-way because it's been working well, not just for weight-loss, but also as an escape from childcare.
But now seeing people lose weight very much faster than her, I almost see her lose the motivation to do it the old-fashioned way. Some of her gym friends are on it, and so is a daily reminder for her.
So I am a bit mixed on this. We're also planning to have another child soonish, so unsure if this even factors in.
I am worried that collectively, the world has gone a bit too fast in using this for minor weight-loss.
