Weight loss drugs make it harder to get the nutrients you need—here's what to do about it

GLP-1 drugs reduce food intake by 16% to 40%, causing nutrient deficiencies in over 22% of users within a year, requiring nutrient-dense diets and protein intake.

Summary by Medical Xpress
Weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work primarily by reducing hunger. They mimic a hormone the body already produces called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate appetite and feelings of fullness.
