Is Ozempic killing the restaurant industry? Eateries reveal they've been forced to reduce portion sizes to tempt diners on weight loss drugs
Daily MailNima Safaei says there has been a 'shift in how people dine' amid Ozempic rise It's the blockbuster drug that has helped millions of people around the world achieve their weight loss goals. Restaurant owner Nima Safaei is now considering offering smaller sizes to avoid losing any potential customers who are on the weight loss drug 'Sometimes we do wonder why people come in if they’re not particularly hungry, but we understand that it’s about the social experience and enjoying an evening with friends.' Earlier this year, a survey by Morgan Stanley found 63 per cent of people on Ozempic are ordering considerably less while dining out than they were before they being prescribed the drug On top of this, Ozempic users have also reported how alcohol consumption has left them feeling nauseous, which could also have an affect on restaurants' profits. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency reminded healthcare professionals to inform patients of the potential side-effects of the drugs The health secretary said the injections should only be used by obese people who have failed to shift weight through diet and exercise not those looking to 'get a body-beautiful picture for Instagram'.
