A few months ago, I wrote a blog post on Ozempic, which is a GLP-1 agonist intended for blood sugar control with the often desired side effect of weight loss. 

However, these drugs also have undesired side effects, and while the comments I received were not all against the drug.

“I’ve been on Ozempic for 8 months, and it’s a godsend for both me and my husband.” 

I was shocked by how many people shared problems.

One viewer had this to say after trying a semaglutide, which is a GLP-1 agonist: 

“I tried semaglutide and ended up in bed for five days with a huge headache, nausea, throwing up, and stomach pain. I will never take it again.”

Another viewer commented about muscle loss.

“Ozempic also causes muscle loss. I atrophied a lot when using it”

And another commenter had this to say: 

“I did try Ozempic. There is a side effect that isn’t talked about much – suicidal ideation. It was terrifying, and I immediately stopped the drug.”

Ozempic is expensive, requires weekly shots, and, as you can see, comes with unpleasant and even scary side effects. There is an alternative that can leave you feeling better, not worse, and all you need to do to make it work is shop for different foods at the grocery store. In this blog post, I share how keto does what GLP-1 agonists promise.
