Ozempic looks quite impressive and I hope that it can help you, but as someone over 30 I have to say that the mindset that age is such a disability is very self-defeating, and you can trust me from experience on that one.

I've recently been getting back to the gym and getting my diet cleaned up (for mental health reasons above any other), and as a result I've lost about 30 pounds in 3 months and gained some muscle along the way - far better than I thought was possible at my age.

I also saw a post on Reddit of scans of the legs of 2 70-year-olds; one active and the other sedentary. The active one was almost all muscle while the sedentary one was riddled with fat.

There's no secret; it's diet and exercise, but obviously it isn't easy either. If ozempic can help with the one, then that's a big bonus.

I'm 48, and back in the gym after several years of first too much else to do, then laziness, then injury and the pandemic, and I'm now finally back up to a 4 year personal best. It's tougher than it used to be, but at the same time most people have never been anywhere near what they could achieve and have no idea how strong they could get if they were just consistent and trying.

I keep seeing people go in and lift the same weights every time while at an age they could easily increase the weight several times a week for months on end before starting to hit limits.

Having a great diet and exercise are easy when you’re not in the rat race. Super rats are able to do both but that requires fortitude, which a majority of the population lacks (lotta soft people these days).
