GLP-1 Drugs and Nutrition: What to Eat, a Sample Menu, and More Why Nutrition Is Crucial When Youre on a GLP-1 Drug Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) weight loss drugs including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), and orforglipron (Foundayo) work by suppressing appetite and delaying the rate at which your stomach empties
In most cases, semaglutide is used until the patients desired weight loss is achieved, which can range from a few months to a few years
In SURMOUNT-4, adults who had lost an average of 20.9% on Mounjaro then switched to placebo regained 14% of their starting weight over the following year, retaining only about a third of the weight loss theyd initially achieved
