On a semi related note I've seen it being used by some people who struggle with alcohol addiction. They're gonna have to up production in that case
what the hell is ozempic even. a panacea?
Ozempic, and all GLP-1 agonists, are appetite suppressants. They slow digestion, which reduces appetite and can help regulate blood sugar for those with diabetes. Alcohol is quite calorie dense, at 7 calories per gram. So in theory, an appetite suppressant can reduce cravings for alcohol.
This is not medical advice and please consult a medical professional/doctor before taking any new medications.
It’s not just an appetite suppressant, it also changes the way insulin is released and processed and slows digestion.
Thats why it’s really helpful for people with PCOS, it makes their body actually use the food you eat, instead of storing fat no matter what even when you’re only eating 1000 calories a day.
Also incredibly helpful for pre-diabetics and people with type 2. Compounded semaglutide is usually an option from providers, and it is typically way cheaper (to the consumer) than the branded stuff (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) while being equally as effective. It doesn't come in fancy plastic auto-injectors with a 10,000% markup, though, so pharma ghouls don't tend to push it as hard.
How does Marmite compare?
The high amount of protein (31g per 100g) and deep unami flavour could help with keeping one's appetite under control.
I've found Marmite toast to be a great hangover and nausea cure back when I used to drink.
Holy shit, that's a lot of protein.
Nah its because the mechanism that its originally been used for seems to be surprisingly effective for several other impulse driven decisions it seems.
