Regularly chowing down on foods like avocados, nuts and eggs offers similar effects on the body as effective weight loss injections, according to one nutrition. As of recent, semaglutide injections have surged in popularity thanks to Hollywood stars preaching them as a quick fix for shedding excess fat.
Brands like Wegovy and Ozempic both contain a compound which mimics fullness caused by the GLP-1 hormone, and is used to help treat type-two diabetes by managing blood sugar levels. And while it's also effective in aiding the obese, the treatment can cause a number of unpleasant side effects.
According to the respective websites of Wegovy and Ozempic, regularly taking said injections is known to sometimes cause nausea, stomach pains, constipation and vomiting. Wegovy users in particular also are further at risk to increased headaches, tiredness and dizziness.
