Ozempic is a drug primarily prescribed to diabetic people, however it is commonly used as an off-label drug for weight loss
In a recent episode of the popular podcast show "Diary of a CEO," Johann Hari, a renowned health expert, warned of the side effects of Ozempic. The drug is well-known for its 'weight loss' properties.
However, the medication can potentially lead to an average weight loss of around 15% alongside changes to diet and exercise. In a statement, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency said although Ozempic was not approved for weight loss, "it is commonly used off-label for that purpose" in Britain.
He later said: "I remember the first day I took the injection, a couple of days later I remember waking up and I was lying in bed and I had this weird feeling, when you're not quite with it. I was struggling to articulate it and I felt very nauseous, which everyone gets when they start taking. The most common side effects of drugs like Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and constipation. However, there are other side effects that go beyond that.

Certain Foods Can Have Similar Hunger-Suppressing Effects as OzempicSome foods can influence the same hunger-quelling signals that Ozempic does. Certain vegetables, animal proteins and soups can keep you full. The 'Oat-Zempic' trend is the latest diet fad to gain viral status. The weight loss hack involves drinking a twice daily concoction of blended oats, and is said to elicit similar hunger-suppressing effects to Ozempic. Clips posted to TikTok demonstrating the trend have attracted millions of views, with advocates claiming to have lost 10 pounds in a few weeks. But experts say the Ozempic-like effect of foods isn't limited to oats; there are many ingredients that are known to keep hunger at bay for especially long periods. That's because they trigger the release of GLP-1 - the 'fullness' hormone that is also provoked by injecting Ozempic. These include foods high in protein, fiber - such as oats - or water, Michelle Routhenstein, a preventative cardiology dietitian and founder of Entirely Nourished, told the Daily Mail.
