5:30 How to maintain weight after Ozempic
Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of Ozempic is crucial when considering how to manage your weight after stopping this medication.
As a GLP-1 Agonist, Ozempic mimics a hormone in your small intestine that helps regulate insulin levels, control appetite, and slow down gastric emptying. While this can aid in weight loss, it can also lead to adverse side effects.
These side effects may include:
• Nutrient deficiency
• Gastroparesis
• Constipation
• Gallbladder problems
• Thyroid tumors and cancer
To help maintain your weight after Ozempic, it’s crucial to make certain lifestyle changes, such as:
1. Follow a ketogenic diet to keep insulin levels low and promote fat-burning.
2. Do intermittent fasting to control appetite and improve hormone balance.
3. Incorporate weight training to build and preserve muscle mass.
Additionally, ensuring adequate protein intake is crucial for maintaining muscle mass, especially for those who have already lost a significant amount of muscle while on Ozempic. This can be achieved through consuming bioavailable proteins such as red meat, eggs, and fish.
Monitoring your hormone levels and ensuring proper cholesterol intake is also important, as cholesterol is a building block for many hormones, including testosterone and estrogen.

Ozempic for Endo! Would love a video on that.
I’ve been using it in small dosages. 8 units (1.6 mg) every week, has worked wonders for me, I go to the gym, eat healthier and I also have a physical job, it helped me go past the plateau I hit for years that I couldn’t drop weight no matter what I did besides the diet and exercising. I feel a lot better. I incorporate a lot of protein, less carbs, and a lot of hydration and also just watching my calories. It’s been a slow process but I rather lose weight gradually than too much at once and shock my body.
Is it the same with Mounjaro?

Can't imagine the Amage Report years from now. Avoid all Trends kids. Wake up.
Thank you Doc. When i went onto this drug, there was no mention of muscle loss or increasing the protein intake, those I learned from future you 🙂
Dr. Berg, have you tried Ozempic? Curious. Ty
What about zepbound?
I have been on Ozempic for 2 years.
Lost 110lbs, walked 1800 miles.
Dosage went as high as 1.5mg per week.
I am now tapering off of it slowly.
I had no major side effects beyond very very slight nausea from time to time.
I feel at least 10 years younger!
No constipation.
No spasms.
I did increase my dosage very slowly and never went all the way to 2mg per week.
I will say this. If I hadn't been completely miserable, I never would've risked it.
People using these drugs to lose 10 or 20 lbs are reckless in my opinion.
If you are morbidly obese, and hopeless, it might be worth the risk.
I was to the point where I would get out of breath walking upstairs, and would break out into a sweat when drying off after a shower. My quality of life was non-existent.
My experience has been positive so far.
I do realize this could still change for the worse.
I also have relatives who have been on it even longer than me without negative results… yet. 🤷🏻♂️
No pea or hemp protein?
Dr. Berg, is it okay to take ozempic when I have PCOS and gallstones? Thank youuu so much and I'm always buying DR.BERG'S food supplements here in the Philippines♥️ I always trust your advices 😊
I did not lose weight while I was on Ozempic while simultaneously doing weight watchers. And I don't want to gain weight when I get off, adding to my problem.
What about the other GPL1?
I'm almost 69, 6'2" and morbidly obese at 320. I just asked my doctor to prescribe this drug. Realistically? What can I expect to lose? I'd like to lose 100 to 120 pounds.
How many pen i need to lose 27kilos?
Don't take the Oz ever!!!
GLP-1 science and medications have helped many people who could not lose weight with dieting and had trouble keeping on a consistent good eating routine. It has its benefit and many are thankful.
I am on Mounjaro (5 weeks in) and I’ve lost 20lbs. I titrated to 5mg and don’t feel hungry at all, even a baked potato is too much now! It’s hard to make yourself eat when you feel like you already ate! I force myself to eat though.
I have PCOS, eating lchf and fasting 18 h eating just 2 meals, did that in more than 1 year , and SAME WEIGHT 😢
"Maintaining Weight Loss After Ozempic:" and you literally spent no time talking about you videos name. Great thumbnail though!
I'm on Wegovy one month. Lost 20 lbs and feeling fantastic! Lot's of energy and mental clarity. I've been taking thousands of dollars worth of all the recommended vitamin supplements until now. None of the supplements ever helped. The constipation is real tho.

Jardiance 25mg
Metformin 1g twice a day
Gliclazide 120mg morning 80mg night
Actos 15mg

I took pregnelone and it totally trashed my liver. Not recommended.
Stomach paralysis
1 egg is 7g of protein? What so how many eggs are you supposed to eat

Hey Dr Berg- what if you have lost muscle mass on GLP-1? Is it permanent? Or can you reverse muscle loss by weight training?
I never lost any weight but I was never very overweight anyway it might have lowered my A1c about .3 points not really sure. Told my Endo doctor I want to get off of it.
I had gestric sleeve surgery after 3 years I start gaining weight my diet is quite healthy still I can’t control my craving for sweets now my dr asked me to start Ozampic . I m confused 😕
Hi dr.. I was also using ozempic.for last 10 months . I lose 23kg…now my dr advice me to stop ozempic because my blood sugar is reversed… I donot want to gain my weught again… I want to maintain my weight.. Kindly advice me what i do now
I have T2 and was put on Ozempic for two reasons by my Endocrinologist. Lose weight also control glucose. Yes, lost weight due I was not able to eat, and did help my glucose was able to stop taking insulin shots. But the side effects was brutal with me. Hair loss, sick all the time, muscle loss, couldn't exercise. After 2 years on it my doctor finally took it off. I am happier with taking insulin shots again but now with appetite back I am gaining weight back and fast. So now it is training myself again to exercise which I'm doing and food choices which I have started. I hope to stop the weight gain soon. 😔
❤Youre saving lives 😭🥳🌟💯💗
Ive been on ozempic for couple of months and have had the worst diarrhea. Going to the toilet 15 times in a day. I take ozempic once every 2 weeks. But now im planning on slowly moving away from it. But scared ill gain all the weight back which has happened before. I have hypo thyroid and high blood pressure so also stressed about how to manage this. Would love some tips or help on this.
Anything about Mounjaro doc? I'm on Mounjaro as well as low carb and exercising regularly. Side effects are: no appetite. But that's it! From what I've read, Mounjaro seems to have less adverse side effects compared to Ozempic.
Thank you. Everyone glossed over the studies that talked about how muscle mass went way down on these drugs. People were not eating as much, so they were getting less protein. If you do start taking these drugs, make sure you maintain an adequate protein level. The best sources of course are animal products. Fish, beef, chicken, pork, turkey, shellfish, organ meats, etc.
I just bought your blood sugar support to help control my insulin resistance, pcos , and have an ovarian tumor. About to have surgery to remove the tumor. I already eat correctly and exercise. Going into menopause. Can’t take BHRT yet until the tumor is gone . Love you Dr Berg ! I will never take ozemic or any of those toxic pharmaceutical substances.
Mr. Berg If you are a professional or an amature athlete and regularly hit the gym would you not need more consume a higher amount of carbs then what the ketogenic diet requires to maintain a certain level of energy during your training?
good day,great news ?what is the best recommendation brand you can say,thank you
Stop dancing around the subject – semaglutide is a scam, weight loss takes education and work, not drugs
Lose weight naturally… Don't use synthetic drugs!!!
I have been on ozempic for over 2 years loosen, nothing so now i gave up with ozempic. Never again didn't work for me.
Can pregnant women take Berberine?
Do you have a video or can you comment on estrogen and cholesterol? I had a gastric sleeve while I was going through menopause and lost 70lbs. My cholesterol shot up despite the weight loss and I read somewhere it was because of menopause and estrogen loss. Is this correct?
