With Ozempic after which Zepbound, it’s labored properly. The dangerous consuming will not be a behavior anymore. And for the those who say, properly, I really feel like I’m dishonest as a result of I’m not doing it pure or needs to be doing it pure, I view this as a lot of a psychological well being drug as a gastrointestinal drug or no matter, as a result of it impacts your head as to how you’re feeling about meals and that type of factor. I come from an extended historical past of overweight relations. I feel that it’s giving me chemical substances that aren’t in my physique naturally that I must be more healthy and happier.

You’re taking all this weight off, and your physique will battle you to realize it again.

Properly, I used to be a bit disillusioned as a result of I had talked to 2 pals that had taken it, and so they had misplaced weight. I used to be very enthusiastic about it.

I had completely no unwanted side effects in anyway, but it surely didn’t work for me so far as weight reduction. Simply reducing my blood sugar.

It’s modified how I take into consideration the tradition, for certain, particularly as a result of they talked about celebrities taking it prefer it was this dangerous, horrible factor.

Erica, 36, Mo., Republican, white, social employee

As a result of it’s so extensively out there on-line and even with major docs, it’s made me assume docs are extra open-minded now, that they’re keen to do all this stuff.

Erica, 36, Mo., Republican, white, social employee

I as soon as went to the physician and requested the physician for weight-loss medicines. I can’t keep in mind what it was, but it surely was like a capsule or one thing that’s purported to curb cravings. And I had a number of docs that checked out me prefer it was taboo, they wouldn’t prescribe one thing like that, that it is best to simply eating regimen and train.

I feel there was a number of skepticism about it at first. I feel as an increasing number of folks began utilizing it, it grew to become an increasing number of acceptable.

Andrew, 69, S.C., Republican, white, software program engineer

I simply assume that the messaging on the market was that is all sunshine and roses. That is fantastic stuff. And my expertise has been, not less than on the weight-loss aspect, that it’s been a bit bit disappointing, that I’ve type of plateaued and I preserve needing to boost my dosages. That’s not what I’d heard, along with among the unwanted side effects.

Joanne, 52, N.J., Republican, white, billing

For me, it was higher. I misplaced greater than I believed I used to be going to lose, and really feel higher. I’m not off it but, so I don’t know if my opinion goes to alter after I go off it. However for me, it was for the higher. I hardly had any unwanted side effects, and I realized quite a bit on-line. I realized extra on-line than I did from my docs, and that helped me with managing any unwanted side effects, easy methods to eat proper, what to eat, what to not eat.

I’ve at all times been athletic. I’ve at all times labored out. I used to be at all times on the go on a regular basis, and I attempted my greatest to eating regimen and eat the best issues. And it simply wasn’t doing any good. However as soon as I began with the GLP and I began reducing weight, it gave me much more encouragement. And now I can see the payoff.

Xavier, 56, Sick., Democrat, Black, housekeeping

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant

I used to be not in pretty much as good a spot 5 years in the past, earlier than I began this. This isn’t precisely associated, however I feel folks discriminate towards overweight folks. And I’ve spent a number of my life overweight and I’m not now, and I don’t have folks discriminating towards me in that method. And I feel that makes a giant distinction in your psychological well being and your entire angle about life. Like I stated, I’ve gained and misplaced 100 kilos a number of occasions in my life, and I’d really feel it each time. Some folks choose you for being on it. These persons are simply ignorant. They don’t perceive what the battle with weight problems is and the way this drug helps with it.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

I feel it’s typically factor. Weight problems is a really significant issue on this nation and lots of people need assistance. They’ll’t do it on their very own.

Yessenia, 36, Conn., Democrat, Latina, trainer

I’d say it’s principally adverse. I’ve been type of hush-hush about being on it, until somebody tells me they’re on it, as a result of I’ve heard folks gossiping about others being on it.

Brooke, 39, Fla., Republican, white, canine groomer

I feel it’s in style. I feel it’s stylish. I wish to learn the tabloids, and all of the Hollywood stars are on it, the Kardashians, stuff like that. And that’s OK, from my standpoint.

Leo, 46, Texas, Republican, Latino, logistics

I take a look at celebrities which are on it or which were on it, and it’s modified their life a bit bit. However I feel some have accomplished that for the mistaken motive, whether or not it’s ladies or males doing it, I feel typically they only do it for the style piece of it, to allow them to get talked about.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

I feel extra folks would in all probability attempt it apart from the value. For lots of people, it’s unaffordable.

Erica, 36, Mo., Republican, white, social employee

I undoubtedly assume it needs to be lined by insurance coverage. Loads of occasions it’s solely lined when you have diabetes, not only for weight problems. In order that’s been the wrestle for me the entire time. I don’t have diabetes. I simply have weight problems. That’s a illness, too, and I feel as properly, or a medical situation. So I really feel prefer it needs to be lined.

Joanne, 52, N.J., Republican, white, billing

I agree. I agree with one thing Kathryn stated earlier, that we’re lacking one thing in our physique that different folks could have. Drugs fulfills it. So I do assume it needs to be lined. I feel it will cowl a number of well being points down the street, and I don’t assume these corporations are wanting down the street. I feel they’re wanting on the price now.

Leo, 46, Texas, Republican, Latino, logistics

I feel it needs to be lined — perhaps restricted, to some extent, such as you get re-evaluated each six months or one thing — however basically lined.

Ricardo, 33, Ariz., Democrat, Black, coach

It ought to undoubtedly be lined by insurance coverage. I feel that this journey is part of well being care. The well being system ought to perceive that whenever you assist somebody’s weight reduction journey, you’ll be able to alleviate among the long-term penalties. It’ll get monetary savings in the long run. And so I feel that’s the lacking piece. Why isn’t it lined? That’s the primary query.

Ricardo, 33, Ariz., Democrat, Black, coach

Cash.

Andrew, 69, S.C., Republican, white, software program engineer

I don’t perceive the insurance coverage corporations masking it for diabetes however not for weight reduction. It’s like smoking. If you wish to stop smoking, Nicorette gum and aids like that aren’t lined by insurance coverage. Why not? I don’t perceive it.

Sara, 26., Mass., impartial, white, displays coordinator

My protection is altering subsequent yr, and so my well being care supplier was telling me about this deal as a result of it’d assist me afford the medication. She did inform me that it will be vials and needles reasonably than pens, like we’ve now. It’s a pleasant sentiment from the president. Nevertheless it’s actually only a disgrace that insurance coverage isn’t going to cowl it.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

I’ll imagine it after I see it. Like a lot with this administration, it’s simply all discuss, discuss, discuss, discuss.

Joanne, 52, N.J., Republican, white, billing

I feel it’s factor if it occurs, however I additionally really feel like if you will get it down that low, then they had been overcharging the insurance coverage corporations and all people else this entire whole time.

Virginia, 56, Mich., Democrat, Latino, disabled

I feel larger entry could be a double-edged sword. I feel that there are individuals who need to lose 5 or 10 kilos, and so they could take the drug away from any individual who actually wants it for diabetes. There have been occasions when it’s been very exhausting to get due to the demand.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

Weight problems is why so many individuals endure from different diseases, like diabetes and hypertension and coronary heart points. Something that will trigger you to shed extra pounds would have an effect on different situations, so I can’t see why the medical institution wouldn’t make it extra reasonably priced for folks to get this.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

I’ll imagine it after I see it, however as of proper now, I’m not too optimistic about it. And if it does occur, I don’t assume it’s going to be anytime quickly.

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant

Non-public insurance coverage corporations don’t need to actually pay for long-term stuff as a result of that affected person might be not going to be on that insurance coverage when the long run comes. However what Trump’s speaking about is Medicare. And I went on Medicare, and so the federal government’s choosing up my medical insurance from right here on out. So they are going to save from the long-term advantages of me being on it. So I feel that for issues like Medicare, when the particular person paying for it could possibly reap the long-term financial savings, then the federal government can pay for it. However for personal employers, they don’t have any assure that an individual’s going to be an worker when the center assault comes or no matter later. In order that they don’t need to pay for it within the brief time period.

Sara, 26., Mass., impartial, white, displays coordinator

I do know concerning the F.D.A. type of turning into extra regulated with what we’re allowed to place in our meals, the dyes and whatnot, making an attempt to be extra like Europe, different nations, being extra strict. In order that’s one thing I find out about him, and that’s one thing I like about that.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

One phrase: unqualified.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

He has no medical background. He has no scientific background. He’s the mistaken particular person in that place.

Virginia, 56, Mich., Democrat, Latino, disabled

Anti-vaxxer. That’s all I’ve.

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant

Properly, it’s “make America wholesome once more.” And Kennedy, he’s acquired some good concepts and a few actually dangerous concepts. So it’s simply all throughout the board. I do like the thought of eliminating the dyes within the meals and that stuff. I’m very nervous. My children gained’t vaccinate my grandkids. That might be a very dangerous concept.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

At this explicit time, it’s only a phrase. It’s only a phrase. It’s simply one thing some persons are saying. I haven’t seen something that will point out something that’s being initiated.

Yessenia, 36, Conn., Democrat, Latina, trainer

Cease listening to all of the stigmas and these loopy unwanted side effects social media retains posting, and simply give it a attempt when you really feel such as you want it.

Brooke, 39, Fla., Republican, white, canine groomer

Don’t be afraid. Simply do what it’s important to do to care for your self.

Sara, 26., Mass., impartial, white, displays coordinator

It’s not lazy to take it. I feel that’s one thing that folks mechanically assume. You’re simply lazy and also you don’t need to shed extra pounds.

Andrew, 69, S.C., Republican, white, software program engineer

It’s not only a magic potion. It’s essential to train and eating regimen when you actually must preserve the load off.

Erica, 36, Mo., Republican, white, social employee

It’s a device in your toolbox, not only a fast repair.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

Go for it. Give it a attempt.

Joanne, 52, N.J., Republican, white, billing

It’s useful, and I feel some folks want it. I realized about how a lot I used to be consuming earlier than I took it. It makes you notice quite a bit, and also you hope that whenever you do cease it, you keep on doing what you could do.

Ricardo, 33, Ariz., Democrat, Black, coach

I simply hope that folks perceive the science. That’s bottom line. Folks simply don’t perceive science, and it’s only a lazy factor to say: Properly, you’re lazy. It’s like, you’re lazy since you don’t perceive the science.

Xavier, 56, Sick., Democrat, Black, housekeeping

Go for it and take a look at that for your self.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

In case you’ve tried every little thing else and nothing appears to work, give it a shot.

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant
