Some of you won’t like this but it’s worth saying.
Skinny injections are everywhere right now. Ozempic, Mounjaro, whatever the latest name is.
I’m even hearing kids talking about them and that alone should probably make us stop and think for a second.
Before anyone jumps down my throat, I get why people are drawn to them.
If someone told me I could have a six pack, big arms and run a sub-20 minute 5k by taking something once a week
I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t think about it for a split second too 😂
And look, for some people, in some situations, they can help with weight loss. I’m not denying that.
The part people don’t really talk about is what happens next.
The whole appeal is that they’re easy. You take it, your appetite drops, you eat less and the weight comes down.
No planning…..No routine…..No real lifestyle change other than starving the body
And at the start, that feels like winning.
But over time I’m seeing the same pattern again and again.
The dose increases, The cost increases, Side effects start to creep in.
Weight comes down but confidence doesn’t really follow.
Strength doesn’t improve Fitness doesn’t improve
Energy is still all over the place.
Then people start thinking they should probably tone up or get fitter… and that’s where it gets tricky.
Because now you’re trying to juggle the cost of the injections with the cost of actually training, and most people can’t or won’t do both
And if we’re being honest, the injection will always feel like the easier option.
👉Training takes effort.
👉Planning meals takes effort. 👉Getting stronger and fitter takes effort.
There’s no way around that.
What’s interesting is that more and more people are coming into No Limits who have already tried the injections. Some lost weight, some didn’t, but the common theme is they don’t feel how they expected to feel when the weight came down.
What I do know, because I see it every single week, is that long-term results come from fairly boring basics.
Training 3–4 times per week. Creating a calorie deficit over the week, not starving day to day.
Doing something you can actually keep up when life is busy.
We’re not anti anything here.
We’re just not in the business of selling shortcuts that don’t hold up long term.
If you’ve tried everything and realised you probably need a bit of structure, support and accountability, that’s the conversation we’re happy to have.
No judgement…..Just honesty.
