Ultimately this article is kind of a FUD nothing-burger. People's skin behaves the same anytime there is rapid weight loss.
It's strange how there is almost never a shortcut to anything. Like a universal law. So now you might get free weight loss without making any effort at all, but you'll also look older in the process? I have to say, my father has been taking it, and I noticed that he does look older all of a sudden...and his weight loss also plateaued. I thought it was just my imagination, but maybe not.
> strange how there is almost never a shortcut to anything. Like a universal law There are win-win tradeoffs. Vitamins, for instance. If you're running a vitamin deficiency, there isn't a downside to increasing your intake of that vitamin. (Curing acute dehydration via IV is another shortcut that just works.) The Ozempic story, for me, has been more about how we almost seem to be reflexively against the idea of a win…

Coffee being the only exception.
Was this article written by an LLM? I had to scroll so far to get to the core content it kept promising, it's like it wasn't written for human consumption. Ultimately this article is kind of a FUD nothing-burger. People's skin behaves the same anytime there is rapid weight loss.
A quick explanation about what Ozempic is would be helpful in this case. Not every country uses the same name for their drugs and the brand names are often very different
And if that's true, what is the conclusion? Stay obese to have a beautiful skin (and deal with the associated health effects)?
here’s my casual armchair analysis about some thing I know nothing about: Is this correlation instead of causation? I mean, if you’re dumping pounds rapidly and then your skin is all been stretched out…
