Is it even possible to slim down without the expense and risk of trendy weight-loss injectable meds? Yes, it is! "Simple changes in your diet can deliver the appetite suppression of Ozempic―with no prescription, no injections and no side effects," insists Florida nutrition expert Annette Bosworth, M.D., or Dr. Boz, who has helped thousands shrink their waist and transform their health. Here, Dr. Boz gives us the skinny on all-natural hacks helping women like Indiana grandmother Celest Wehmeier profoundly lower appetite and drop pounds with ease. Keep reading to get inspired by 74-pounds-lighter Celest's story-and to learn how a few no-needle Ozempic dupes stand to benefit your body.
Dr. Boz explains that Ozempic and drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound work by increasing GLP-1, a hormone produced in our GI tract to help control blood sugar. “GLP-1 dramatically slows food moving through your gut, keeping you physically full,” the doc notes. “It also signals your brain that you’re not hungry and food isn’t as interesting.”
Ozempic causes a sharp rise in GLP-1 that kills hunger and quiets ‘food noise’—a term for those endless thoughts we have about eating even when we’re not hungry. But spiking GLP-1 production can be tough on our gut, leading to nausea, constipation, even intestinal blockages. “And it costs about $1,000 a month,” adds Dr. Boz. “So let’s suppress your appetite while saving your money and sparing you the downsides.”
No-Rx ways to destroy hunger
Dr. Boz, a keto diet fan, knows many of us don’t want to slash carbs at this cozy time of year. So she’s sharing hacks that mimic Ozempic benefits on any diet—or even no diet at all.
