Regularly eating foods such as avocados, nuts and eggs can offer similar effects on the body as seen with weight loss injections, a nutritionist has claimed.
In recent months, semaglutide injections have soared in popularity among Hollywood stars as a quick fix for shedding pounds. Brands such as Wegovy and Ozempic both contain the compound that mimics fullness caused by the GLP-1 hormone and is used to treat type 2 diabetes by managing blood sugar levels.
While effective at helping those with obesity issues, this kind of treatment comes with some unpleasant side effects. According to Wegovy and Ozempic's respective websites, regularly taking either injection may cause nausea, stomach pain, constipation and vomiting - with Wegovy users further risking headaches, tiredness and dizziness.
