Ozempic users may not admit to using drugs, but they will be happy to reveal the changes they made to their diet.

Weight loss injections have become so popular that almost everyone knows someone who uses them.

Some people, like me, are happy to shout their hitting habit to the rooftops, while others remain silent, without even telling their partners.

But what’s the best way to proceed if you suspect your slimmed-down friend is taking Ozempic but won’t say how she achieved her slim figure?

Here are some simple tips on the dos and don’ts of navigating the Ozempic label.

Don’t ask directly

“You look thin, are you taking Ozempic?” Ghosting is likely to follow soon. If your friend wanted people to know that she was using so-called fine strokes, she would let them know.

Many women fear criticism if they reveal that they have resorted to weight loss medications, as some consider it a “cheat” to not lose weight the old-fashioned way (i.e., by restricting calories).

Many women fear criticism if they reveal that they have turned to weight loss medications, as some consider it a “cheat” to not lose weight the old-fashioned way (i.e., through calorie restriction and misery). Women who had gastric sleeve or gastric band surgery experienced this (remember Fern Britton?) and now it’s happening to yappers too.

…But congratulations on your weight loss.

We all want people to notice our weight loss, even if we don’t reveal how we achieved it. There’s nothing worse than meeting friends after going down two dress sizes and no one says anything.

An acquaintance told me that he had recently developed the “Ozempic face.” It was certainly an insult, but as a former owner of chubby hamster cheeks, it made me tremendously happy. If complimenting someone’s body shape seems too personal, tell your friend she looks “glowing” or “healthy” and see if she reveals her secret.

Stop shaming the menu!

I used to always order three dishes, make fun of everyone and then finish everyone else’s. Now I eat a lot less, even though people know why.

Struggling to finish a meal at a restaurant and staying away from rich dishes are signs that your friend is probably using injections, but that’s no reason to say, “You left out half of that, what a waste!” to the rest of the table or making fun of her for ordering a simple salad.

include them

Not inviting someone to dinner or eating out because you think they are using weight loss medication is a bad thing to do.

Us charlatans will eat less and may not drink alcohol, but we are still fun, great company and enjoy socializing.

Being told you weren’t included in a night out because “you’re not really eating right now” feels like being back in school and not being picked for the PE team.

Leave the interrogation

‘How many calories are you eating? What program are you following? What weight loss group do you attend?

Annoying your friend and trying to trip her up so she gets cornered and confesses to Ozempic is not a mark of sisterhood.

There’s a lot of fuss about weak shots but, let’s be honest, no one would dream of probing someone so aggressively to find out what other medications they’re taking.

Ask for diet advice.

If your friend has successfully lost weight and you want to lose a few pounds yourself, ask for advice.

Ozempic users may not admit to using the drugs, but they will be happy to reveal the changes they made to their diet. They may have reduced their meals to two meals, they probably increased their protein intake to prevent muscle loss, and they probably ditched chocolate and cheese.

For people who successfully lose weight, it is liberating to talk about revising their diet no matter how they did it.

Skip the skinny jab horror stories

As soon as you reveal that you’re taking weight loss medication (in my case, Mounjaro), people are eager to tell you apocryphal horror stories.

The fact is that the medication is safe and the story you heard is likely an urban myth. And saying you think overweight people should work on their willpower instead of injecting themselves won’t make her more likely to trust you.

Admit it: you’re tempted too!

Barely a day goes by without someone wanting to ask me what it’s like to take Mounjaro. So if you’re thinking about getting a prescription yourself, say so; Chatters are more likely to come out to other users.
