I think that, just like with stomach reduction surgery, people are going to find a way to overeat and gain weight while taking Ozempic too.

- glp1guide 1y agoNope, because the change is actually in the brain. https://glp1.guide/content/research-on-glp1-signaling-in-the-brain/ https://glp1.guide/content/research-on-glp1-signaling-in-the... https://glp1.guide/content/research-suggesting-glp1-is-a-brain-drug/ https://glp1.guide/content/research-suggesting-glp1-is-a-bra... https://glp1.guide/content/are-glp1s-primarily-brain-drugs/ https://glp1.guide/content/are-glp1s-primarily-brain-drugs/ This is the killer feature of Semaglutide and GLP1 Receptor Agonists widely. They were originally commonly thought about as digestion-slowing, and while that is part of it, the real change is that it's a brain drug. Oh also, on whether people gain back the weight: https://glp1.guide/content/do-people-regain-all-the-weight-lost-on-glp1-receptor-agonists/ https://glp1.guide/content/do-people-regain-all-the-weight-l... tl;dr - most people (i.e. over 50%) do not.

- loeg 1y agoUh, so, first, I'll say that bariatric surgery is largely a successful (if extremely invasive) intervention. It is not the case that people who do that surgery somehow compensate eat back to the same level -- on average, they don't. And second, the GLP-1s just massively reduce the urge to snack/eat. I'm sure they are less effective for some people than others, but on the whole they are miraculously effective for the population that overate habitually (the obese).
- astura 1y agoOzempic alters the rewards system, so if it's working you don't want to overeat, not just that you physically can't.
