You could curb your appetite and lose weight without dieting, so what's not to love? Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
It’s hard to avoid the buzz about Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. Ozempic is a drug for adults with type-2 diabetes that has weight loss as a side effect. Wegovy is a larger dose of semaglutide, approved specifically for weight loss. In one study, about two-thirds of participants lost 10 percent of their weight, although seven percent dropped out because of unpleasant side effects. Mounjaro is a similar diabetes drug that also has weight loss as a side effect.
These drugs work by curbing appetite and making the stomach empty more slowly. They lower blood-sugar levels and act like glucagon-like peptide-1 , aproduced in the intestines that signals fullness and allows the stomach to empty more slowly. As a result, your appetite will decrease, you’ll eat less, and lose weight.
So, if Wegovy produces significant weight loss, reduces the risk of heart attack, and curtails emotional eating, what’s not to love? About 20 percent of people taking these drugs experience possible side effects including nausea, dehydration, fatigue, constipation, and muscle loss. But even if you were in the lucky 80 percent who didn’t have side effects, you’d need to payto your food choices. There have been reports of malnourishment resulting from extreme loss of appetite.
