Ozempic's Weight Loss Deception
- Ozempic, initially for type 2 diabetes, is misused for weight loss due to appetite suppression.
- Studies reveal significant muscle loss, equivalent to 20 years of aging, within just months of use.
Healthy Weight Loss Strategies
- Prioritize a high-protein, high-fiber diet with vegetables and weight training.
- Add some high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to minimize muscle loss (5-10%) compared to Ozempic (40%).
The "Ozempic Look"
- Ozempic users often appear "skinny fat" due to muscle loss, particularly in the glutes ("Ozempic butt").
- "Ozempic face" is characterized by a gaunt appearance due to muscle and fat loss, often mistaken for malnutrition.
