Weight-loss drugs can suppress appetite—but don’t ignore nutrition.

Popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy can help shed pounds, but many users risk nutrient deficiencies and muscle loss without proper dietary guidance. Learn how to stay healthy while losing weight!

Popular weight-loss medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have revolutionized obesity management by reducing appetite and curbing food cravings. These drugs, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, can lower calorie intake by 16-39%, supporting significant weight loss. However, new research highlights an often-overlooked risk: many users may not receive sufficient guidance on nutrition, putting them at risk for protein deficiency, vitamin and mineral shortages, and muscle loss. This gap is particularly concerning given the rapid rise in private use of these medications.
