A diabetes miracle drug has become an off-label appetite suppressant, changing the definition of being thin and what it takes to get there.
Should anyone suddenly appear svelte, I just assume it’s Ozempic. However, if they elaborate unprompted on their new diet, then I know it’s Ozempic.
Now, the drugs are popular everywhere among anyone who’d like to be a little skinnier, whether their careers depend on it or not. At the city’s restaurants, they’re ordering less. “I obviously don’t know when someone is taking drugs,” says Anthony Geich, director of guest relations at Priyanka Chopra’s haute Indian restaurant, Sona, but over the past couple of months, “I’ve definitely noticed the trend of salads being ordered more, or people who are boxing their food up at the end of the night.
