Part of the joy of the season may be gone — or feel different — for people who are taking popular weight-loss drugs and can't eat as much as before.

The article from Today.com discusses the use of weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro during the holiday season. It highlights the challenges and considerations for individuals on these medications when navigating holiday festivities known for indulgent foods. Dr. Scott Isaacs, an endocrinologist, advises that while these drugs can help manage appetite, they are not a "magic bullet" and require lifestyle changes for sustained weight loss. The piece includes personal stories, like that of a woman who found the holidays less stressful with the help of these medications, and expert opinions on how to approach holiday eating while on such drugs. It also touches on the potential side effects, the importance of not using these drugs as an excuse to overeat, and the need for a balanced approach to holiday celebrations, suggesting moderation and mindful eating even when appetite is suppressed.
