Ozempic and Wegovy are often used for weight loss, but without the right approach, they can lead to unintended issues like muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies. These medications work by reducing appetite, but if you're not eating enough or getting the right nutrients, it can impact energy, hormone balance, and overall health. Muscle plays a key role in metabolism, and losing it can actually slow progress.

Focusing only on the number on the scale can be misleading. Fat loss, increased strength, better energy, and improved overall function matter more than just dropping pounds. Building a healthy, sustainable routine with proper nutrition and exercise makes a bigger difference in the long run than simply eating less or chasing a lower weight.
