Taking Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro for weight loss? There's one important mistake you should avoid: eating too little. GLP-1 medications can help reduce appetite and support weight loss, but that doesn't mean eating as little as possible is healthy or sustainable. In this video, Dr. Ani, a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine at Macie Medical, explains why under-eating while taking GLP-1 medications can put your health at risk. Consuming too little food may increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies, gallstones, muscle loss, and reduced bone mineral density. You'll learn: - Why under-eating on GLP-1 medications can be harmful - What happens when you don't get enough nutrients during weight loss - Why preserving muscle mass matters - Why rapid weight loss isn't the only measure of success - How your doctor can help monitor your nutritional intake and adjust treatment when appropriate - Why medical supervision matters for safe, sustainable weight loss Remember: the goal isn't simply to lose weight as quickly as possible. It's to improve your health while protecting your body along the way. At Macie Medical, we provide personalized primary care and obesity medicine to help patients pursue their weight-loss goals safely and sustainably. Dr. Ani works with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan based on their health, nutritional needs, and progress.
