The widespread use of new anti-obesity medications, widely known as GLP-1 therapy, including the most trendy names of the moment such as Ozempic or Wegovy, has brought about a real revolution in rapid weight loss, but at the same time it is accompanied by a major medical alarm.
The world's most renowned experts and scientists are urgently raising concerns that behind the miraculous effects of weight loss lies a serious danger that is directly related to malnutrition and serious damage to the patients' bodies.
During the recent scientific forum organized by the American Dietetic Association, medical specialists revealed that rapid weight loss through these steps is creating a large food pit.
According to the panel of experts, which includes renowned doctors such as Dr. Jaime Almandoz and Dr. Jamy Ard , the main problems being encountered massively in clinics are not simply related to fat loss, but to the fact that patients' bodies are drastically losing muscle mass and suffering irreparable damage to the bone structure.
This phenomenon occurs because these medications aggressively reduce appetite and provide a feeling of artificial satiety, causing people to consume extremely small amounts of food.
If this process is not strictly followed by a doctor, the body ends up in a state of profound malnutrition, depriving itself of the basic vitamins and minerals that keep the metabolism running.
Due to this critical situation, four of the largest medical and food organizations in the United States have issued a joint emergency guideline.
In their strong call, doctors emphasize that these medications should never be taken alone or as a magic solution without being accompanied by a strict nutritional plan and physical activity specifically programmed to protect muscles.
