New research published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine offers promising insights for addiction medicine specialists! The study investigated the effects of semaglutide, a GLP-1 analogue, on food addiction (FA) and weight loss in obese patients (PwO). Key findings: Reduced FA symptoms: Semaglutide treatment significantly reduced FA symptomatology among PwO. Effective weight loss: Both groups with and without FA experienced similar weight and fat mass loss. No increased side effects: Semaglutide was well-tolerated by both groups. This research suggests that semaglutide may be a valuable tool in addressing FA and promoting weight loss in obese patients.
