6 Mistakes People Make While Taking Weight Loss Drugs, According to Experts
Summary: Weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy can be great tools, but many people make mistakes while taking them. Experts say you shouldn't skip your medicine or skip meals, even if you aren't hungry. If you don't eat enough protein or lift weights, you might lose healthy muscle instead of just fat. You also need to eat fiber to prevent bathroom troubles like constipation. Finally, remember these drugs are meant for long-term use. If you stop taking them, the weight will likely come right back.
