Semaglutide, also known as Wegovy or Ozempic was originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. At low doses, this peptide-1 receptor agonist increases insulin secretion, which is low in diabetics. Patients using the medication noticed a dramatic decrease in appetite, which often resulted in weight loss.
When you first begin using semaglutide, you may want to incorporate some other measures to decrease your caloric intake. Try using smaller plates for your meals, so your food fills the same percentage of the plate even though you're consuming far less. If you attempt to eat as much food as you're accustomed to while taking semaglutide, you may feel sick.
