Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2600189" data-attributes="member: 196898"><p>My late wife was bipolar, and she was clinically obese but never became diabetic.  When I started my Low Carb journey for my diabetes, I became chief cook and bottle washer.  She shared my meals with me even though she could have snacks which I did not, she actually found the LCHF meal plan was satisfying and she reduced her carbfests too.  I lost 8 stone doing LCHF, and she lost nearly 10 stone.  We both ended up at around the 10 stone mark which is where we were when we married.  Sadly my wife developed Parkinsons, and passed in her sleep one night.  So it is possible to lose weight to that extent without it being a starvation diet.  It is possibly something to consider, since the Ozempic route is likely to be as your doctor says.  It is a similar drug, but only once a week injection.  The LCHF route is not really a diet, it becomes a lifestyle change and it is sustainable long term and so it may help stop the revolving door syndrome I described in my first response.  I am still 10 stone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
