Lack of a balanced diet When semaglutide dramatically reduces your appetite, you might find yourself eating much smaller portions or skipping meals entirely
Additionally, the NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) provides the clinical frameworks that pharmacies like ours follow to ensure medications are prescribed appropriately
Prioritize protein (0.7 to 1.0 grams per pound of target body weight), eat frequent small meals rather than large infrequent ones, limit high-fat foods during dose increases to reduce nausea, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol (which worsens both GI side effects and calorie intake)
Long-term success requires viewing semaglutide as a tool for sustained appetite and metabolic management, not a short-term fix
