This is all nice and all, but how can they tell these benefits are from ozempic or actual calorie restriction? Were talking about people that suffer from hiv induced bad fat distribution. I assume this means they have conditions such as fatty liver etc. Simple calorie restriction will improve their life.
The study would have to do the exact same calorie restriction for both groups. One on ozempic, one without. Then if one group showed benefits that would he clear.
Even if the mechanism was something like they were stressed less by hunger.
Ozempic/semaglutide is great stuff, but it has same dangers as calorie restriction. If you don't watch carefully what you eat (increase protein, supplement with micronutrients) you can become deffiecient and end up in a very unhealthy place.
