Joey Diaz on Ozempic and getting older:
The fat man is going to come back stronger if you just rely on the drug. Real change comes from lifting weights and walking, even 30 minutes a day of resistance training to fight sarcopenia and keep bone density.
He got down to 274 lbs (124 kg) on Weight Watchers without weights. Now at his current weight, he’s lifting and feels the difference.
Resistance training 2–3 times per week significantly slows sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), improves bone density, boosts metabolism, and enhances insulin sensitivity in older adults, according to extensive research from the American College of Sports Medicine and others.
