Key Points:

Over 70% of U.S. adults have overweight or obesity, and about 12% have used GLP-1 medications like Ozempic to aid weight loss by regulating appetite and blood sugar.
While GLP-1 drugs reduce hunger, patients must prioritize nutrient-dense foods to avoid deficiencies in fiber, vitamins, and minerals commonly observed among users.

Additional advice for Ozempic users includes working with a registered dietitian, engaging in regular strength training to preserve muscle mass, and maintaining proper hydration to prevent constipation.
