Ozempic also causes gastroparesis, which slows down digestion and leads to nutrient absorption issues. People using Ozempic often develop a sunken in look, known as "Ozempic face”, as well as an increase in skin sagginess due to the loss of muscle mass.
There are healthier ways to lose weight. While it might be harder to adjust your diet, exercise more, or balance your hormones, these methods are healthier. Even small changes, like walking more and increasing protein intake, can make a big difference.
