Overview
- Long-term follow-up shows many people regain more than half the weight lost after stopping drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro.
- Emerging evidence suggests the body’s own GLP-1 signaling may be blunted after drug use, a mechanism still under investigation.
- Studies report that eggs increase fullness by stimulating endogenous GLP-1 and suppressing ghrelin, with added benefit when paired with fiber-rich foods.
- High-quality protein from eggs can help users meet targets around 1 g per kilogram of body weight to better preserve muscle during weight loss.
- A 2025 analysis flagged nutrient shortfalls among GLP-1 users; eggs offer a cost-effective way to cover some gaps, though they are not substitutes for the medications.
