Norwegian science site forskning.no reports on a Journal of Nutrition review warning that GLP-1 medicines such as Wegovy and Mounjaro can cut appetite so sharply that some patients struggle to meet basic nutrition needs. It cites data showing about a 39% drop in energy intake on an oral GLP-1 versus placebo, only 43% of users reaching 1.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight a day, and about 25% of lost weight coming from fat-free mass, and argues dietetic support should be built into treatment.
