THERE is now an egg-cellent solution for patients looking to come off weight loss jabs like Ozempic and Wegovy.
According to Adam Collins, Associate Professor of Nutrition at the University of Surrey, eggs can help prevent people from regaining the weight they lost while on the appetite-suppressing drugs.
"Long-term studies of GLP-1 drugs show that once people stop taking them, they regain more than half of the weight they lost," Collins wrote in an article for The Conversation.
"This rebound may be even stronger than other dieting methods because of how GLP-1 drugs interact with appetite hormones," he explained.
Eggs are a simple solution and affordable, Collins pointed out, because their protein "triggers the release of the body's own GLP-1, while also suppressing the hunger hormone ghrelin".
They have also been repeatedly shown to help people feel fuller for longer and eat less at later meals.
