Day 14 of starving myself to death challenge. For the first time, I feel worse.

You couldn't have expected it was only flowers and sunshine, if everyone would've felt better by not eating, everyone would just do it. It's effective but comes with suffering I guess. In the Netherlands (or Europe?) ozempic is popular to reduce weight. Iirc, Elon Musk did use it too. They say it's unhealthy tho, but every medication has tradeoffs I guess.

@retoor I tried it and hated it.

@kiki got sick of it? Some have to throw up from it and stuff. And stumach issues.

ozempic reduces fat of fat people, but it reduces heart muscles of both fat and skinny people

... also the people on that stuff don't look like they lost the right fat. their faces start to get scary

@retoor oh yeah it slows down your gut motility... so you'll get bacterial overgrowth. also your guts won't have time to repair. they need to be empty of food to repair immunological function

@retoor I feel bad every time I overeat. This includes a variety of symptoms, and awfully nasty burps is one of them. Instead of making my unhealthy appetite go away, ozempic just put my body into that awful state 24/7, WHILE keeping me hungry. That’s not the way to go, that’s the worst of both worlds

Don't really think anyone has the answer to this all. I mean, I have IBS. No one knows why, no one knows how to deal with it.

No pattern has been observed (and believe me, I try really hard to).

So the conclusion is just do whatever you want, or makes you feel good.

In my case, junk food. "Healthy" food has always wrecked me, but I can have fast food nonstop and no issue whatsoever.

So, conclusion, you do you, and that's it.
