Ozempic, Wegovy, and other GLP-1 medications have transformed the way we treat obesity and weight loss — but many patients unknowingly make mistakes that can slow results, stall fat loss, or even lead to muscle loss.

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, explains the five most common mistakes people make while taking GLP-1 medications and how to avoid them.

You’ll learn how protein intake, strength training, realistic weight loss expectations, food quality, and lifestyle habits can dramatically impact results while on medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.

Understanding these mistakes can help you protect muscle, maintain metabolism, and achieve healthier long-term weight loss.

This evidence-based discussion covers the science behind GLP-1 therapy, metabolism, muscle preservation, and sustainable fat loss.

If you're using GLP-1 medications or considering them, this information can help you maximize results while protecting your long-term metabolic health.
