It can have some severe side effects 😯

The desire to look attractive has surged with social media, driving some to seek quick fixes like Ozempic. Though originally intended for managing Type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has become popular among celebrities for weight loss.

Ozempic works by triggering the brain’s satiety center, reducing appetite and balancing blood sugar. However, its effects come with serious risks. Dr. Ben Bickman, a scientist at Brigham Young University, warns that Ozempic can cause significant muscle and bone loss during weight loss.

For every ten pounds lost, four pounds may come from lean mass, not fat. Worse, stopping the drug can stimulate new fat cell production, leading to higher fat percentages even if weight remains lower.

Experts caution that Ozempic is not a magic solution. Sustainable weight management still relies on healthy habits like diet and exercise.
