Speaking with MNT , Megan Warnke, RDN, a registered dietician nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, also not involved in this research, explained that a very low-calorie diet is not viable approach beyond a short-term intervention: The key words in this study are short term results. Like with any diet, this approach may work for a short period of time, but its not sustainable for long term results. Also, appetite suppression from semaglutide can help patients follow a calorie-restricted diet, but other factors like stress, sleep, and food insecurity will also impact diet success, which is something this drug cant fix, Warnke explained

They may be able to suggest a laxative (a medication to help you pass stools)
Types of Semaglutide (Injections vs Oral) There are two main forms of semaglutide used for weight management
