How does Ozempic work for weight loss?
It mimics GLP-1, a gut hormone that slows digestion and tells your brain you're full. Appetite drops, portions shrink, and most users lose 10–15% of bodyweight over a year. It's not a cosmetic shortcut — side effects (nausea, muscle loss, regain after stopping) are real.
Follow-up questions
What happens when you stop?
Most people regain a significant share of the weight within a year unless habits, protein intake, and strength training are dialed in.
Which GLP-1 is best?
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) produces the largest average loss in trials; semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) is close behind.
Does metformin cause weight loss?
A modest 2–3 kg on average, mostly in people with insulin resistance. Not in the same league as GLP-1s.
