Alcohol & Carb Cravings

So from my clinical experience, in prescribing semaglutide (which is available under brand names like Ozempic) to over 50 people now, what I have found is that it definitely helps to cut down on sugar and carbohydrate cravings. People also feel like their blood sugar is more stabilized and they're not getting “hangry” from missing a meal.

We've also found that it helps with reducing cravings for alcohol. And I've had people say they could barely finish a cocktail. And there have been some clinical studies in a lab on mice to show that it does reduce their consumption of alcohol, but I've seen it in people already, just in this limited population of 50 patients, that the semaglutide has reduced alcohol cravings, carbohydrate cravings, and has increase the sense of fullness a lot faster, thus people eating a lot less calories, thus losing weight. So it does deliver what the manufacturers are talking about.

And my experience has been to use it in the lower dose forms and not seeing side effects which I do understand come from some of the higher dosages. So this along with a structured, ketogenic type of diet high in protein, low in carb has really helped a lot of individuals to lose weight.
