"I never say that I have lost weight thanks to Ozempic": The ‘Ozempicazozo’ taboo, the people who hide that they consume it

by

There is a certain pattern around the social perception of thinness: we glorify it, yes, but we stigmatize the shortcuts to achieve it. AND That little contradiction has become very visible with the rise of Ozempic. Who thinns with effort receives admiration; Who does it with medication receives contempt. “Ozempicazo“It is the derogatory term that is being used in networks to indicate to those who are suspected that they have lost weight by resorting to this drug. Figures such as Ibai Llanos in Spain either Mike Pompeo in the United States They have been suspicious objects after their bodily transformation. A few weeks ago we published a report in which those who turned to Ozempic to lose weight They told us their long -term experience. Today we rescue some of their voices and add new ones to talk about this phenomenon. How complicated it can be to admit the use of Ozempic. Ismael, 35 -year -old Alicante, explains that “people see very well that you are thinner, they congratulate and comply with you, but when you tell them how you have achieved it, the perception changes.” In his case, he went from touching 100 kilos at 81 kilos, something he considers more acceptable for his stature. In Xataka Ozempic will soon become a thing of the past: this is what we know about the new generation of drugs for weight loss “It is a double moral, I have friends who put protein powder, creatine and several more things to be strong, with them there is never a problem. If I turn to a drug to lose overweight, then they do tell me that I have not struggled, that it is a shortcut,” he explains. “It seems that losing weight must imply suffering to be legitimate. So I stopped giving explanations about my weight loss, I don’t comment on, I thank and change the subject. “ Ismael’s point is that no one questions the use of pain or antidepressants for mental health, but to lose weight, pharmacology is considered a trap. Clara, which fell from 87 to 69 kilos, synthesizes it: “I have tried or remember how many diets without results, or with results but rebound effect, and when I find something effective, it seems that it is not acceptable because I have not been enough hungry.” Cristina, a 46 -year -old Valencian, has lost more than 16 kilos with Rybelsus (pills) first and Mounjaro (Injectable and Ozempic competitor) later. “I never say that I have lost weight with Ozempic, nor that it is with a puncture or with pills. I have turned it around,” he confesses. When asked for his weight loss, he turns half truths: “I tell that I did an analytical and saw that I had a little high thyroid and insulin resistance, so they gave me a treatment and that has derived in a certain weight loss.” In Xataka If the alcohol industry no longer had enough problems, it has now encountered one more: Ozempic “It’s like I feel bad to put it,” he explains about his reluctance to reveal the real method. “It is as forbidden, as is frowned upon.” This stigma is so entrenched that even when someone asked him directly if he used Ozempic, he denied it: “I got out of my heart to tell him no“. This contradiction generates frustration:” Now that I think about it, it gives me anger. Why do I hide? If my money I spend it on what I want. “ The Dr. Alicia Taboadasubspecialized family doctor in cardiovascular risk and endocrinological diseases, offers A nuanced vision of the phenomenon: “First of all, I would like to remember that obesity is a chronic disease and in the same way that we treat other diseases with drugs, it is normal to use a medication that has shown to lower weight and reduce cardiovascular risk, joint problems and even mental problems.” According to Dr. Taboada, the stigma has its nuances: “As for the people who hide Ozempic, They are normally patients who have a discreet overweight or who want to lose a few kilos. A patient with morbid obesity has no shame in saying that Ozempic is being punctured. “ There are legitimate criticisms, mainly The shortage that has affected diabetic patients. “The fact that it was so criticized has also been because until now we only had Ozempic, a drug in principle only for diabetics,” explains Dr. Taboada. “The one that many people were using it made the diabetics run out of the drug. But today this would not have to be because there is because it exists Wegovywhich is the same molecule but specific for weight control. “ Criticism increases to public figures that do not transparent its methods. Influencers that attribute physical transformations exclusively to diet and exercise, omitting possible pharmacological aids, They generate unreal expectations in vulnerable audiences. It is complicated. {“Videid”: “X7ZO910”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Added sugars: how to avoid them and improve the diet?”, “Tag”: “sugar”, “Duration”: “220”} “We have met people who do not want to prick, who want to make a normal diet,” says Dr. Taboada. “And really if they do well, if they make food changes, they get weight off too. You never have to force anyone. To clicking you will be easier because you are not going to go hungry, it is true, but if you have a lot of willpower, you can make a diet without the need for any drug.” The rebound effect adds another layer to the stigma. Pilar recovered 30 kilos after suspending the treatment, reinforcing the narrative that the method was not “authentic” or “sustainable.” On this, the doctor is clear: “It is said that they are drugs that should be taken for life, but unfortunately their price makes not everyone to do it, which is the vast majority. The most important thing is to establish changes in the lifestyle, because if we leave that drug, the patient will bounce.” Outstanding image | HAVEREDAS in … Read more

This is what we know about the new generation of drugs for weight loss

by

Many pharmaceuticals and laboratories have spent months to work seeking to replicate the success of drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound. Based on compounds originally devised as diabetes treatments (semaglutida and tirzepatida) that ended up triumphing as a method to lose weight. Pharmaceuticals responsible for these have not stopped working. New generation. Novo Nordisk, the Danish company responsible for the development of Ozempic and its active compound Semaglutida, announced a few days ago New advances In Cagrisema clinical trials, a drug that combines semaglutida with another similar compound, Cagrilintida. Now the pharmacist has announced another novelty in the development of the new generation of drugs capable of fighting diabetes and helping to reduce our weight, an exclusive license agreement for UBT251, a triple agonist associated with three different receptors. Danish is not the only pharmaceutical in this race. Cagrisema A few months ago, Novo Nordisk gave us new details Cagrisema. This is a drug based on Cagrilintida, in turn a compound that emulates amiline (and also calcitonin), similar to how the semagglutide emulates the peptide similar to type 1 glucagon (LPG-1). Redefine 2. In Your last announcementNovo Nordisk realized some results of the redefine 2 trials, the third phase of the clinical trials with which the safety and effectiveness of the new combined drug has been tested. The essay studied these factors over 68 weeks in more than 1,200 participants. The trial showed that the average weight loss of the group under treatment was 15.7%, considerably higher than the weight loss of the group to which a placebo was administered, which was 3.1%. The detailed results of the clinical trials of the Redfine program (Redefine 1 and Redefine 2), will be presented later this year, while the date the company manages for the approval of these treatments by the regulatory agencies is the first quarter of 2026. Triple agonist. But perhaps the main course is yet to come. This same week, the Danish pharmacist He also announced An exclusive license agreement for a new compound, now known as UBT251. Until now we already had double agonist drugs, such as the tirzepatid Zepbound and Mounjaro of the American pharmacist Eli Lilly. These drugs function as analogues of the GLP-1 and GIP hormones, but not the glucagon. New agreement. The agreement has been signed between Novo Nordisk and Chinese Laboratory United Biotechnology. By virtue of the contract, the latter will maintain the rights for the development, manufacture and marketing of the drug in continental China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan; while the European will be responsible for these activities in the rest of the world. To the race. Novo Nordisk was the pharmacist who opened the melon of drugs against diabetes converted to treatments for weight loss but may not be the leader in the race to achieve the triple agonist drug, the new generation of medications of the Ozempic family. And is that the American Lilly advances in the development of the Festatrutidawhich is already found In phase III of their clinical trials.

We have a way to improve the effectiveness of treatments such as Ozempic to lose weight: deceive metabolism

by

Our body did not evolve for the vicissitudes of modern life. During a good part of human existence, staying alive required for example that our body reacts to food shortages to prevent our energy consumption from becoming excessive and drained our reserves. In the world the contemporary world, this strategy has become an inconvenience for many who want to lose weight. A new way. Now this can change thanks to a New discovery. A team of researchers has discovered a mechanism used by the liver in the consumption of sugars and fats. Although the finding is still limited to animal models, the team believes that it shows potential to help improve the effectiveness of weight reduction treatments and even against diabetes. Facing the deficit. Layout seems simple: we just have to spend more calories than we consume. However, this is often complicated, since our body is an expert manager of its energy economy, knows how to react to scarcity. When we see ourselves in a prolonged situation in which we reduce the energy contribution of our body, that is, we ingest less calories, our body reacts reducing our energy consumption. To do this, it has a key tool: slow down metabolism. This implies for example, that after a time of diet, we can see how the weight we lower is reduced. Something that even affects people who resort to drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy or Zepbound. PLVAP. The team responsible for the finding, They explainHe was studying a gene called Plvap in mice hígados. This is also a gene present in human cells. It was known that people with mutations that eliminated this gene presented problems by metabolizing lipids (fats), which focused group interest. The study of this gene allowed to discover that its function It has to do with metabolic change that occurs when our body goes from consuming sugar to consume fats during fasting. If this gene is not activated, the body continues to burn sugar as if nothing happened. Deceive the body. Controlling this newly discovered mechanism would open the way to improve the treatments present for weight loss. The strategy to achieve this would be to use this gene to “deceive” the liver in its regulation of our metabolism. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Cell. Not just a matter of weight. Controlling our weight is something that arouses enormous interest, as the successes of drugs such as those belonging to the Ozempic family have demonstrated. However, those responsible for the study point out that they could also help us treat metabolic diseases. An example is diabetes due to the role of PLVAP protein in the way our body processes sugar. A long road ahead. Transforming the finding into a treatment that can reach people will take years. For now, work has only been carried out in mice, which implies that it must still be demonstrated that the same mechanisms operate in the metabolism of human beings, something predictable but for now without contrast. Designing a drug and getting all common controls, including clinical trials is also something that requires time and, above all effort. The success of the new generation of drugs for weight loss is at least an indication that this type of treatments is on the laboratory agenda, so the effort is.

I have run for weeks with a Zonense Suunto. It is a spectacular advance for both Marathonians and those who just want to lose weight

by

In recent weeks I have run a few times with a Suunto Race On my wrist next to a pectoral heart rate. Was necessary to try Zonense, the novelty presented a few months ago by Suunto. I wanted to understand her well and try her for myself. The truth is that it is an inventazo. What exactly Zonese is? Zonese is Suunto’s new technology to measure our intensity during exercise. The usual thing is to count pulsations per minute, but Zonese analyzes the Heard rate variability (VFC) To determine, in real time, how our body is responding to effort. The VFC is the variation in time between each heartbeat. Not all beats have exactly the same temporal separation, and these small variations contain valuable information on how our autonomic nervous system is working. High variability usually indicates a good state of recovery, while a low variability indicates fatigue or stress. The interesting thing is that This VFC changes during the exercise very specificly according to the intensity with which we work. And it is just this relationship that Zonese takes advantage of an algorithm called DDFA (Analysis of dynamic fluctuations without a trend) to determine in which metabolic area we are training. And that serves to optimize anyone’s training. Either an expert athlete who wants to increase his performance, or either a person who simply wants to go for a walk to lose weight and wants to do it in the optimal way. Three areas that change everything The training areas, or heart rate, are five, although according to whom you ask (including sports watches manufacturers) can give you six or seven. Zonense simplifies training only three colors: Image: Xataka. Green (aerobic zone). When your body is working mainly with oxygen and fats as fuel. It is the ideal zone for long training, recovery or fat burning. Your body could be kept here for hours. Do you want to go for a walk to lose weight? This is your area. Do not stay below or above. Yellow (anaerobic). Your body begins to use more glycogen and begins to produce lactate, although it can still process it. It is the “threshold” area, where performance improvements are important, but you can’t stay here for too long. Red (Vo2max). You are above your anaerobic threshold, your body produces lactate faster than you can eliminate. It is where the greatest adaptations of power and speed are achieved, but you can only maintain this effort during short time spaces. He Vo2max It is the maximum amount of oxygen that your body can process during intense exercise, is what measures our aerobic capacity. Why Zonese needs a heart rate A key aspect of Zonese is that it requires a heart rate. The optical wrist sensor that incorporates the watches is not enough, and there is a scientific reason for it. Optical sensors They measure the pulses by calculating changes in blood flow by lightbut They cannot accurately detect the exact intervals between beats nor the small variations necessary for the VFC analysis during the movement. Chest bands, however, directly detect the electrical impulses of the heart (such as an ECG), providing the necessary precision for this advanced analysis. In my tests I have used the Suunto Smart Sensor. It would be much better not to have to use it and limit us to the clock, but if these bands maintain their popularity it is for something: they are more reliable, precise and complete. My experience The first time I went to run with Zonense, I planned a 10 km training at a soft rhythm. Normally, based on my heart rate, I would run at about 5:30 min/km to keep my “aerobic zone”. However, after the initial 10 minutes that Zonese needs to calibrate (establishing your metabolic baseline of the day), the clock showed me that it was in yellow (anaerobic), despite the fact that my heart rate was just 145 ppm, which would traditionally consider as my area 2-3. It turns out that last night (several, in fact) he had slept badly and also came from three consecutive days of intense training. My body was telling me, through Zonesethat although the pulsations were not extremely high, it was metabolically working harder than traditional numbers suggested. I reduced the rhythm at 5:47 min/km and, indeed, I returned to the green zone. The training was much more pleasant and, surprisingly, the next day I felt quite recovered, something that would probably have happened if I had maintained my “normal” rhythm. On another occasion, after a week of rest, Zonese allowed me to maintain a faster rate (5:15 min/km) remaining in the green zone. My body was cooler and could work at greater intensity without entering anaerobic areas. Image: Xataka. This type of Personalized and dynamic adjustment is what makes Zonense so valuable. They are not just numbers on a screen, it is real information on how your body is responding to exercise at that precise moment. Another striking example: the shoes. With which I used for filming I marked VO2Max from 4:47 min/km, while when I went to flying I had to go down to 4:19 min/km to enter that area. Not only for elite athletes One of the biggest surprises has been to verify the usefulness of Zonese for people who are barely starting to play sports or simply go for a walk. It is common for a beginner to feel overwhelmed at the explanations of cardiac areas and to remove calculations from its theoretical maximum frequency. For this type of users, Zonese says something much simpler: “Stay in green”. With that simple instruction, the user will walk at a pace that maximizes fat burning without entering areas of greater intensity where the body begins to use glycogen. And it will avoid going too slow. And best of all: being real -time and calibrated information after ten minutes of activity, that user may be in the green or yellow zone depending on the day even if … Read more

A single island houses 70% of the US military bases in Japan. There is a weight reason for not to come out: China

by

At the end of January, in the Japan islands closest to Taiwan, Many places began to evacuate the area. The action was part of a series of drills that have been intensified in the last two years preparing for “the worst”, understanding this as An armed conflict between China and Taiwan. In fact, the most important island of Okinawa prefecture has a fact that attests to tension in the area: there is no other place in Japan with such a number of soldiers in the United States, and they have been there since World War II. Okinawa: trapped between two powers. For more than a century, Okinawa has been a territory in disputemarked by the conflict between Japan, the United States and China. Its history, which goes from being an independent kingdom to become a battlefield and military baseit reflects the weight of geopolitical decisions about the lives of its inhabitants. The island was originally The kingdom of Ryukyuan independent state that maintained tax relations with both Imperial China and with the Japanese domain of Satsuma. However, in the 1870s, Japan attached the archipelagoestablishing its control over the island. During World War II, Okinawa was the stage of One of the bloodiest battlesused as a shield to prevent US troops from reaching the main islands of Japan. After the war, instead of being returned to Japanese sovereignty, Okinawa was under control of the United Statesbecoming a military strategic point. Already in 1972, after 27 years of American occupation, The island was finally returned to Japan. However, the US military presence never disappeared. In fact, Okinawa houses 70 % of US military bases in Japandespite representing only 0.6 % of the national territory. It is estimated that there are 80,000 Americans on the island, of which 30,000 are uniformed military. The “slow” withdrawn. This week had the New York Times that the departure of those thousands of American marines has already begun, more or less, although With a delay of more than 20 years Regarding the original calendar. Before Christmas, a 105 Marines contingent that would normally have been sent to the island He was redirected to the new Camp Blaz base in Guam. This small movement marked the first trimming of military personnel in Okinawa within the agreement between Washington and Tokyo to reduce that US military presence on the island that goes back to World War II. According to the pact, 9,000 marines (almost half of the troops on the island) should be relocated at some point. However, due to the construction of replacement bases, its exit could take more than a decade to complete. United States maneuvers on the island A discontent agreement. Negotiation for the reduction of military presence It began in 1995when the case of three American soldiers who raped an okinawense girl caused massive protests on the island. This led to the United States and Japan They will agree to relieve the military load on Okinawa. As? In essence, by closing The Fuutema Air Base and the construction of a new installation in the north of the island. The first plan, signed in 1996, established a period of five to seven years for relocation, but almost three decades of that agreement, the original base remains operational and the new landing track is still 12 years after being completed. Geopolitics: the brake on the reduction. In any case, the delay in the withdrawal of US troops is due, in large part, to the growing military presence of China in the region. Recently and As we countthe Japan Ministry of Defense reported that Four Chinese warships sailed between Okinawa and a nearby islandincreasing concern in Tokyo and Washington about security in the Western Pacific. The rise of China, together with the threat of North Korea and tensions in Taiwan, has changed strategic dynamics. In fact, the times told that many in Tokyo and Washington wonder If they should really reduce the presence of marines in Okinawaespecially when the island is within the range of Chinese missiles and would be a key point in any conflict in the region. China’s hat. Although historically Okinawa maintained commercial relations with China, Beijing’s current influence on the region is seen with concern for many Japanese. The tensions between China and Japan by the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands They have fueled the fear that Okinawa can become a conflict point Between both countries. An uncertain future. For all this, and despite international pressure, the transfer of the Marines progress to slow pacealmost testimonial. Japan, meanwhile, has chosen to keep the status quoinvesting in the modernization of existing bases instead of accelerating relocation. In this regard, Camp Schwab, in the north of the island, will be the new home of the Marines relocated from Fuhenma. The construction includes an area of ​​land five times greater than the pentagon to house landing clues and hangars. It does not seem, therefore, that you think too much about an exit. For its part, Camp Fosterin the southern part of Okinawa, it is being remodeled with new barracks, schools and homes, consolidating the military presence in that area. Japan spends According to the New York Times1.5 billion dollars a year in the construction of new facilities, in addition to the 2.8 billion dollars already allocated to Camp Blaz base in Guamwhich, as we said, will house a part of the displaced marines of Okinawa. Yet, Pentagon still does not provide a clear calendar For relocation. And here we return to the exit box: in case of conflict in Asia, LTo Guam’s remoteness could represent a strategic problemsince the Marines would have to return to Japan crossing a combat zone. Thus, what is clear is that the island remains a key piece on the Indo-Pacific board, trapped between the strategic needs of the United States and Japan, and the own aspirations of autonomy of its population.

EA is checking the weight of a franchise

by

It makes no sense to discuss whether the name change of ‘FIFA’ was a good or bad idea, because EA had no other remedy: Since the year before ‘FIFA 23’that is, since 2023, EA had to leave the Federation brand and launch games under their own denomination. The name chosen was ‘EA Sports FC’ and as expected from the first moment, sales are not accompanying. Disagreements between great. Already in May 2023, ‘The New York Times’ reported That the agreement to prolong the use of the name of the Federation in the title of the EA Games was not on the right track, after a contract with a decade of seniority. That would be the only palpable change, because What is the interior of the game would continue the samesince clubs and players are licenses that are negotiated with the respective teams, leagues and glasses. The monies, always the monies. One of the possible causes of the disagreement could be the intention of the FIFA to bend the 150 million annually charged to EA. The company was also disagreeing with the requirement of the FIFA to allow it to associate its brand to other digital products, including other video games, something that It has also ended up doing. The financial disaster, in any case, was announced: when in 2021, EA set out to change the name of the franchisethe company’s shares chopped. “It’s not what we wanted or expected.” Thus he tried to soften his financial results of the third quarter of your fiscal yearin the mouth of his CEO Andrew Wilson, who has had less repairs to point to a culprit: the “low temporal profitability” of ‘EA Sports FC 25’. It was seen coming since he made a pre-ancient last month of the results, where they also pointed to the disappointing results of the ‘Dragon Age’ franchise as a cause of losses. Among these losses are a 3% drop in benefits. The fault is football. According to EA, its soccer franchise experienced “an interannual decrease of 5% in this third quarter”, which resulted in sales “lower than expected.” Significantly, EA detected that players remained in the holiday period playing previous franchise deliveries. According to the company, a patch of January 16 generated a retention of players superior to what is expected, which may translate with better results for the last quarter of the fiscal year, especially if these are pessimistic. The weight of a brand. Taking into account that the evolution of the games itself has been minimal, or at most, no more noticeable than in the change of other years, it is clear to what the FIFA brand, no matter how absurd it seems, it is relevant in the sales of the sales of the game. This sherwood picture It makes it very clear: the fall in Google searches of the titles of the games of the 2024 and 2025 is evident because in the end, ‘the FIFA’ is ‘the FIFA’, and when it is not ‘the FIFA’ … Well, it’s little.

How to lose weight with exercises at home: 30 minute routine

by

Who said that to lose weight you need to starve yourself or sweat profusely in a gym? Health and physical activity experts have insisted that the key is consistency and perseverance. In this sense, Following an exercise routine in your own home may be enough to meet your daily quota.and best of all… you only need 30 minutes. During this time you can include different types of movements and strength exercises, moderate and intense, in addition to warming up and finishing with a cool down. With the contribution of specialists, We show you what you should do: How to divide your 30 minutes of exercises at home to lose weight 5 minutes warm up This includes five different exercise sessions, performing each one in a period of 60 secondswithout stopping. Do them in this order and you can vary them later: walking in place, gentle jumping jacks, arm rotations (30 seconds per arm), trunk twists, and dynamic arm and leg stretches. 20 minutes with an exercise circuit Again, five sessions of different movements, taking up a period of 4 minutes for each one and another for rest. The correct thing is 40 seconds of exercise and 20 seconds of breathing. Over time you can change the order, according to your tastes, but always include: squats, push-ups, jumping jacks, burpees and calf raises. 5 minute cool down The final part of the routine involves stretching your muscles to relax them, known as a cool down. You can start with a gentle walk in place, for two minutes, and then do some static stretches. For example: 30 seconds on each leg for the quadriceps and again another 30 seconds for the hamstrings. Then 30 seconds per arm and finish by giving the lower back a minute. Remember something fundamental: no one loses weight just by doing exercises. Training must ALWAYS be accompanied by proper nutrition and hydration. Also, try sleep at least 6 hours straight at night (if you are an adult) and reduce factors that cause stress.
