NCT ID NCT07457424
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study directly measures how GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic) change the way people eat. Researchers use a special device to track every sip of sugary and fatty drinks in 140 adults with obesity. The goal is to understand exactly how these drugs reduce calorie intake, not just through questionnaires but by observing real eating patterns.
