I'm not "fat" per se, but I'm carrying about 20 pounds over. Lack of exercise isn't the issue. And I don't really eat that bad of a diet. I'm considering oral Semaglutide (which I can buy off the shelf) to help cut down the weight. Does anyone have any experience with it? Cautions? Does it work?
 
You’ll lose weight, but you may also get…. Cross eyed, bad breath, babies born naked, a new left toe, anal itching, transmission leaks, the urge to watch Hallmark movies, and fear of clowns.
 
Know someone who's been on a clinical trial on such a drug. Had lost 80 pounds in ten months.

Yes, there have been side effects. Upset stomach, digestive upsets, etc.

But eighty pounds that they've carried for 30 years. Legs, knees, and hips are a LOT happier. Feeling a lot better about their appearance.

Be advised, too, how these work. They're not enablers for gluttony. Massive kill of appetite, full up very quickly. Buying six ounce steaks instead of twelve ounce, and STILL bringing leftovers home. Perception of taste skewed as well, actually dislikes sweets.

When I retired seven years ago, I went on a traditional diet. Lost 65 pounds. Despite twice-weekly workouts, 30 pounds of that were muscle (as measured by my trainer). So it's little different from the new drugs.

They say that if you take it, you will lose weight.
And most of that weight will be muscle weight, meaning you will need to double up on your weight-bearing exercises.
But when you stop taking it, you will gain that weight back.
Sounds like a scam to me to get you to keep sending them money for the rest of your life.

Wrapping a double cheeseburger with bacon in lettuce is the epitome of putting lipstick on a pig.
