The "Ozempic face" phenomenon causing concern isn't actually caused by GLP-1 medications, but rather by malnourishment from losing weight too rapidly without proper nutritional support. Understanding how to use these powerful tools properly can help prevent this gaunt, aged appearance while still achieving sustainable weight loss results.

• GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) work by suppressing appetite and increasing satiety
• The hollow-faced appearance some experience is from malnourishment, not a medication side effect
• Many doctors fail to provide adequate nutrition education when prescribing these medications
• Protein must be prioritized first at meals to preserve lean muscle during weight loss
• Muscle preservation is crucial for both appearance and metabolic health
• Losing weight too quickly guarantees muscle loss alongside fat loss
• A realistic weight loss timeline should be at least 12 months for significant results
• Having proper support and accountability is essential when using GLP-1s
• Hydration and mineral balance are important for flushing toxins released during fat loss
