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 appetite suppression side effect from Ozempic probably makes the biggest difference in weight loss, at least at the initial low doses. It makes dieting much easier. Some people don’t even consciously go on a diet, but they still lose weight because they eat less due to suppressed appetite.
At a certain dose, another important effect occurs which seems to lower the body’s resistance to caloric reduction. Diets almost always fail because the body fights against them, and takes metabolic steps to make further weight loss difficult. Ozempic seems to reduce that resistance and allows weight loss to continue for a longer period of time.
