Back to EpisodesWeight Loss Shots: Protein Deficiency Risk
Description
New study reveals potential downsides of weight loss shots like Wegovy and Mounjaro. Users are more likely to skip meals, leading to nutritional gaps and muscle loss. Researchers found that 88% arent getting enough protein, which is crucial for maintaining muscle while losing weight. These drugs, called GLP-one receptor agonists, can cut calories by 16-39% but may also impact diet quality, risking hair loss, fatigue, weak immunity, and brittle bones. Italian nutritionists found that users ate less and skipped meals more often, losing more weight but also dropping protein intake. Experts stress the need for personalized plans and resistance exercise. Lead researcher Doctor Valentina Vinelli emphasizes the importance of monitoring protein and nutrients for safe long-term weight loss.
