Effect of Ozempic and semaglutide on weight loss.
The center for appetite regulation is in the brain, more precisely in the hypothalamus. The medication causes the brain to send a satiety signal. The desire to eat decreases. In addition, after taking the medication, the brain tells the stomach to keep the food in the stomach for longer. This also leads to a longer feeling of satiety. This is why people lose an average of almost 17 percent of their body weight due to semaglutide. Semaglutide also affects the reward system: the desire for junk food, i.e. food that is very high in fat and carbohydrates, decreases.
Medication with semaglutide must be taken permanently.
However, semaglutide must be injected permanently, because if it is stopped, the lost weight quickly returns. This is why the therapy must be accompanied by a change in lifestyle: more exercise and a change in diet are important components of the treatment.
Severe side effects possible
Semaglutide has a strong impact on the body's functions and various side effects can occur:
persistent nausea
persistent feeling of fullness
vomiting
constipation
headaches
diarrhea
pancreatitis
This is why the choice between Ozempic and PhenQ really is very simple. The side effects often only occur for a limited time. This is why the dose is usually increased slowly.
