Interesting for anyone trying the Wegovy pills

What I take from this is you may absorb more of the medication if you fast for longer after taking it, although the study measures blood levels rather than weight loss results.

Because semaglutide has a half life 7 days, it's also not clear how much real benefit you'd get from fasting beyond 30 minutes and consistent adherence may be tricky. It wouldn't be as easy as fast for longer one day and shorter the next to control effects.

But thought someone would find of interest.....
