Nutritionist claims 3 foods have 'same effect' as weight loss injection

Regularly eating certain types of food can offer similar effects to a weight loss injection, a nutritionist has claimed.

Eating avocados, nuts and eggs can be just as effective as semaglutide injections which have soared in popularity among Hollywood stars as a quick fix for shedding pounds in recent months. Injections such as Wegovy and Ozempic have a compound in them which mimics fullness.

The compound creates the same GLP-1 hormone which is used to treat type 2 diabetes by managing blood sugar levels. With the injections being topical thanks to famous people admitting to using them, unpleasant side effects are being reported on.
