Does ozempic only help weight loss by suppressing your appetite? Let’s say you eat the exact same thing every day, you start ozempic and don’t change your diet- still eating the exact same thing and same amount, will you lose weight?
In: Biology
The study that originally showed that Ozempic could lead to weight loss showed that people on ozempic ate less than those who weren’t, and people on ozempic lost weight. So the explanation they came to was that ozempic leads to weight loss by causing people to eat less.
There haven’t been any studies on what happens if you force people on ozempic to eat the same amount as people not on ozempic, so nobody really knows what would happen.
But for right now it seems like if you started ozempic but forced yourself to eat the same amount, then you wouldn’t lose weight.
