When you're managing GLP-1 naturally or supporting medication like Ozempic or Wegovy, generic calorie-counting diets create a specific problem. They don't address the hormonal mechanisms that actually control appetite regulation. You end up eating "less" without addressing why your body is signaling hunger in the first place.
