... has lost a LOT of weight from using Zepbound, and she weighs less than 200 pounds now. She used to weigh about 350 pounds. I'm not sure how much weight she lost since starting Zepbound, however, because she'd already lost some weight from dieting before starting that injectable. The weight loss has been dramatic and more easily noticeable since she started Zepbound.
No bad side effects for her after about 6 months, but maybe something bad will happen as more time passes? I hope not, obviously.
She was unhappy during our family's holiday meals, last Thanksgiving and Christmas, because she felt full right away! So she moaned that she couldn't keep eating the delicious food, and I think she believed it was rude of her to eat so little in that group setting (eye roll)... but she just couldn't do it.
As for me, I'm down to my high school weight and size after about a year of avoiding ultra-processed carbs. I found old Lee jeans put away in a box, from my youth and made by union members in America with the real leather patch on the back, and I can wear them again! (The material is thicker with stronger stitching than the blue jeans that I find in stores today.)
I was never obese per my BMI, but I was close. Yet I mostly wanted to lose weight after my blood pressure was measured a bit high over a year ago. Now it's fine again, and my other health profiles have improved too... such as a triglyceride to HDL ratio that's less than 1/2 (0.5)! I'm almost 60, but I'm among the small percentage of Americans who are considered metabolically healthy, per various body and blood measurements, without taking any prescriptions.
About the only carbs that I eat are whole foods with plenty of fiber to keep my intestinal bacteria healthy. I also don't skimp on eating FAT, since it definitely helps to keep me satiated! I only eat two meals a day with no snacking in between, but I don't get hungry at all.
A book by Dr. Jason Fung, called The Obesity Code, is what first compelled me to change what and how often that I eat.
This free documentary is almost two hours long, but it explains the reasoning behind the higher-fat and lower-carb diet that I adopted about a year ago. Dr. Fung is one of the many medical doctors interviewed during the film.
