Doctor reveals 2 easy hacks for ‘Ozempic effect’ weight loss without drugs: ‘Nature has got you covered’

Don’t worry, these weight loss hacks don’t involve chaining up your fridge or jumping on the treadmill.

Want to shed some pounds but hesitant to go on the extremely trendy Ozempic? Not to fear: An internal medicine doctor has outlined several natural ways to mimic this injectable appetite suppressant sans actually taking the shot, which she detailed in several TikTok videos blowing up online.

“Nature has got you covered,” declared Dr. De Deck, an internal medicine MD, nutritionist and personal trainer, in the clip’s caption.

She created the tutorial in response to patients who wanted to “get the effects of Ozempic,” without having to suffer the potential side effects of the controversial weight loss drug — one of which reportedly being pooping in your sleep.

Dr. De Deck explained that there are two main ways to parrot this pharmaceutical quick-fix: The first faux-zempic method involves the “gut microbiome” — the gastrointestinal microbes that influence appetite.

“Ozempic works by increasing GLP1 [a hormone we release when full], which slows the movement of food from your stomach through your intestines,” explained the doc. The hormone gives an artificial feeling of satiation, thereby curbing the amount eaten and inducing weight loss.

However, the nutrition expert explains that there’s a bacteria called akkermansia “that’s been shown to naturally increase GLP1 levels.”

This gastrointestinal regulator is sold in probiotic form in stores and online, as is the probiotic VSL3, which is also said to up one’s number of said hanger-curbing hormones, per De Beck.

Of course, what one eats has impacted weight long before Ozempic and other pound-shedding shortcuts came on the scene. “Eating a diet with a ton of fiber has been shown to increase one’s GLP1 levels,” declared the MD.

Unfortunately, studies show that 5% of Americans consume the recommended intake daily amount of fiber, which can be found in whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables and other foods, De Deck reports.

By making these adjustments, De Deck claims people can lose weight the au natural way.

Despite being all the rage in Hollywood, Ozempic has come under fire for a host of purported side effects, including vision changes, constipation, and even malnutrition.

One doctor recently coined the term “Ozempic old face” to describe the deflation and sagging that affects user’s visage after they begin taking anti-corpulence drug.

Earlier this month, several Ozempic adherents claimed they stopped taking the drug and ended up regaining more weight than they loss, similar to a tsunami after the tide recedes.
