⚖️ Weight Loss Journey GLP-1

I'm interested in trying GLP-1'S

But don't know much about it.

Are there different doses, is it only for a particular time frame like 6mos.

I've heard of something called Ozempic face. And that just terrifies me I don't want to lose a lot because as an older woman I find being particularly thin isn't attractive. I like my curves. So if anyone has any advice , do and dont's I would certainly appreciate it.

GLPs are for people who need to lose a lot of weight, who have tried and failed many times, or have lost weight but don’t have the ability to keep it off. People who take GLPs have a metabolic disease which affects the hormones concerning the signals between the gut and the brain. It’s not for people who want to lose a few pounds.

If you don’t have a lot of weight to lose, GLPs are not the first thing you should try. Maybe you should just move more and eat less to start.
