A nutritionist claims three foods have the same effect on your body as weight loss injections. In recent months weight loss injections have been in the public eye after claims that some Hollywood stars are using them to shed the pounds.
Brands such as Wegovy and Ozempic both contain a compound that mimics fullness caused by the GLP-1 hormone. They are intended to be used to treat type 2 diabetes, by managing blood sugar levels.
Nutritionist Dr Emma Beckett believes foods such as avocados, nuts and eggs can offer similar effects on the body on these injections. According to the expert, avocados are full of nutrients that trigger the GLP-1 hormone that boosts fullness.
