The desire to look attractive has surged with the rise of social media, pushing many to seek shortcuts like Ozempic for weight loss. Originally intended to manage Type 2 diabetes, Ozempic isn’t FDA-approved for weight loss, yet it’s used widely—even by celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Amy Schumer.

YouTuber @ZackDFilms explained that Ozempic suppresses appetite by triggering the brain’s satiety center and balancing blood sugar levels. However, the drug carries serious side effects.

Dr. Ben Bickman, a professor at Brigham Young University, warns that Ozempic can lead to significant muscle and bone loss. For every 10 pounds lost, only six are fat—the rest comes from lean mass. Worse, once the drug is stopped, the body tends to regain fat, not muscle, and may even develop new fat cells.

Ultimately, while Ozempic may aid in weight loss, it’s not a magic solution and can cause lasting changes in body composition.
