Does Semaglutide, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic Help Keep Weight Off Long Term?

It is important to understand that as adults we don’t generate new fat cells. What this means is that when you gain weight the fat cells (known as adipocytes) get larger and when we lose weight, they get smaller.

Using semaglutide weight loss injections is like going on a diet. You will (likely) lose weight while you are on the injection/diet. If you stop the injections (just like if you stop a diet) without making changes to your lifestyle, you will likely regain the weight that you lost. Semaglutide, Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro don’t eliminate fat cells. Weight loss (by any means) causes a release of stored fat from fat cells, but the fat cells remain there as storage vessels, waiting for a calorie excess to fill back up again.

The only way to “get rid of fat” is with treatments that permanently damage fat cells causing them to be eliminated from the body (such as CoolSculpting) or by manually removing the fat cells (like with liposuction).
