  1. There's a Free Version of this drug! It's called "One meal per day Diet"

  2. Silly claims. Nothing new about this supplement. Funny that it’s the latest hype. 🤦

  3. I'm wondering why those people, who take that viral supplement, gained weight that much…

  4. Best way to lose weight is Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes

  5. When I was 330 lbs I changed my calorie intake. I lost 91 lbs in 7 weeks. Your B.S. toxic pills don't work… discipline is needed for weight loss. These people who rely on pills lack the 1 thing needed for weight loss Discipline

  6. It's so funny when these Tiktak sheep find out about supplements like these that many have been using for years😂🤣

  7. Please bow your head and say this prayer now 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

                    "Carry our prayers up to Gods throne, that
                    the mercy of the Lord may quickly come
                    and lay hold of the beast,
                     the serpent of old, Satan
                    and his demons, casting him
                    in chains into the abyss, so that
                    he can no longer seduce the nations.
                   Thank you for everything
                     CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,
                          LORD GOD. Amen."

          If you can't look and remember the words, just read and pray them while you have your head bowed and your hands in front of your face 🙏☺

  8. @beingsavv is completely ignorant! She could easily lose seven pounds in six weeks by dehydrating a bit, eating a little healthier, and exercising! There's a 0.9 pound difference from week 3 to week 6 according to her social media….0.9! Where's the update on the "Size" at week 6?!?!?!?! She probably lost the seven pounds just due to fluid loss from the diarrhea! People are dumb.

  9. Drs are paid by pharmacy companies I dont trust them!

  10. It’s safe … it has been used for thousands ds of years 🫤

  11. It maybe help in weightloss but u wont even noticed it because it wont happen fast. Its a supplement not a medicine. influencer lied to u. Ozempic confirmed and very fast but beware of the potential side effects

  12. Her before and after pictures show zero difference.

  13. Yes, it does work! I don't know about the weight loss aspect, but it's help my brother who takes it for Type 2 Diabetes.

  14. 😅 I'm kinda glad I don't live on TikTok because I never hear about any of these viral sensations until it hits the news.

  15. JUST DON'T EAT CRAP and you won't need to lose weight. You are what you eat. You eat deep FAT fried foods, that's what you'll be. You eat BIG Macs or Bogger KING! That's what you'll look like.
    It ain't rocket science, it's get off your rocker science.

  16. Ozempic, Jardiance, or this is causing a false weight loss, cause it's not fat. It's all water weight which means you're at risk for dehydration, which cause many health issues. Eating less food or not overeating is the only way to lose weight. Even exercise doesn't cause weight loss,and could lead to many injuries if over done. Being toned and fit from exercise helps weight loss if you're eating the right amount of calories and limiting the carbs a bit. The pictures of the girl were identical. It's in her head!

  17. 7lbs could easily just be water weight.

  18. How Awful!!!Please Consult With Your Physician Before Taking Any Supplement.
