Can a weekly shot curb your cravings? yale study investigates

NCT ID NCT04779697

Summary

This study tested whether a medication called semaglutide (a GLP-1 analogue) could help people with obesity by reducing their cravings for tasty foods, lowering hunger, and decreasing stress. For 12 weeks, 96 participants received either the drug or a placebo (a dummy treatment) without knowing which one. Researchers measured changes in food cravings, hunger levels, stress, and actual food intake in a lab setting to understand how the drug might help with weight control.
