This article explores the nutritional risks facing people who use weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Experts warn that many patients do not receive enough dietary guidance, which could lead to vitamin deficiencies and muscle loss. While these medications are effective at cutting calories, there is very little research on how they affect the quality of a person's overall diet.

In the UK, most people buy these drugs through private clinics where follow-up support is not always included. As a result, nutritional care has failed to keep up with the sudden surge in popularity for these treatments.
