GLP-1 weight-loss drugs can make holiday family dinners challenging as they alter appetite and affect social eating habits. While these medications help accelerate weight loss and regulate blood sugar, they can also change how people interact socially, especially during times of indulgence.
As the holidays approach, sitting down for meals with family and indulgent food can be challenging for those taking obesity drugs. These medications often decrease appetite, lower tolerance for alcoholic beverages, shift mood, and may even impact mental health. Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, a board-certified endocrinologist and author of ‘Weightless,’ discussed the impact of these changes in an interview with Fox News Digital.
