how to lose pandemic weights
 

guys i am new here

and just wondering how you guys/girls lost weights gained during pandemic periods

one of my friend who been through same as me, she recommended me to consider getting orlistat medications prescribed from hospital, but i am one of those who feel embarassed for having to talk about something so personal with someone comepletly new to me..

(aside from his/her expertise in the field)


i would be very happy if someone could help me to figure out how to get some medicinal help without having to deal with people??

would getting medications through some legitimate online platforms do some work for me?

Totally understand why you feel embarrassed — talking about weight and medication with a stranger can feel very uncomfortable, even if they’re a doctor. You’re definitely not the only one who feels that way.

But before you jump to buying something online, there are a couple of things that are really important to know:

🟣 About Orlistat

Orlistat can work, but it’s not a magic pill and it has strong side effects for some people — especially digestive ones. That’s why hospitals usually check:

• liver condition
  
• digestive issues history
  
• current medications
  
• BMI / general health
  

Not because of judgment, but because they need to make sure it’s safe.

🔵 About getting meds online

It can be done safely — but only through legitimate telemedicine platforms where you talk to a certified doctor online, not just buy pills without prescription.
This gives two benefits:

• no face-to-face talking if you feel uncomfortable
  
• you’re not risking fake or unsafe medication
  

You basically fill out a medical questionnaire → online doctor reviews it → issues a prescription if it’s safe → meds get delivered to your home.

So yes, it can solve your “I don’t want to talk about it in person” problem without putting your health at risk.

🟡 Another option (if pills feel too scary right now)

If your goal is to lose pandemic weight, many people are seeing results with:

• higher protein / lower sugar diet
  
• 20–30 min daily walks
  
• strength training 2× per week
  
• tracking food for awareness (not restriction)
  

Some even combine these with orlistat or GLP-1 meds, but it’s still good to be evaluated by a doctor to avoid side effects.

❤️ And just so you hear this from someone:

Needing help to lose weight doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.
Pandemic weight gain happened to millions of people — stress, routine changes, emotional eating, low activity… completely normal human response.

You’re not weak. You’re not lazy. You’re just trying to take care of yourself — and that already counts.
