Weight Loss Drugs May Reduce Activity
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
New research reveals an unexpected downside to popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy: users tend to move less after starting treatment, logging hundreds fewer steps and minutes of activity daily. Despite shrinking waistlines, these GLP-1 agonists may also cause muscle loss, undermining long-term health. Men and those with existing joint or muscle pain see the steepest declines, highlighting the need for proactive exercise strategies—not an afterthought—to ensure truly sustainable, healthy weight loss.
