But here's what nobody tells you: eating less without a plan creates a serious nutrition problem. Most Ozempic users face a quiet crisis. They're consuming 1,000 to 1,500 calories per day when their body needs 1,800 to 2,200 just to maintain muscle and organ function. They're hitting their calorie targets, yes, but missing critical protein, fiber, and micronutrients. The result?
