As GLP-1 weight loss drugs become more popular, some people may be missing key nutrients such as protein, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals. Dr. Tyler Rives, a weight loss specialist at U.M. stated that some people are using the drugs as a primary treatment for obesity, but not necessarily paying enough attention to their eating habits. This can be a problem as the medications significantly suppress hunger, leading to a decrease in focus on a balanced diet. Rives also addressed food myths, such as the idea that people can't eat eggs while taking Ozempic, and suggested that replacing certain foods with healthier options could help.
