Understanding Semaglutide and Diet
Semaglutide, marketed as
Mounjaro, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It works
by mimicking the body’s natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which
helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and weight.
When combined with a healthy
diet, Semaglutide can be a powerful tool for weight management. A balanced diet
provides essential nutrients, supports metabolic health, and helps maximize the
benefits of the medication.
