La personalidad Ozempic o cómo la delgadez extrema acaba con el placer: “Me arrebató mi habitual optimismo”
Usuarios de medicamentos GLP-1 se sinceran en las redes sobre su anhedonia, un efecto secundario que les impide disfrutar o interesarse por las actividades que antes les resultaban gratificantes
The phrase "Nada sabe mejor que sentirse delgada" became the mantra of supermodel Kate Moss after she uttered it in 2009. Written above the fridge in her shared home with hairstylist James Brown, the slogan served as motivation to resist the temptation of cookies. This expression was also used by various brands, including children's and teenagers', to commercialize T-shirts.
A similar trend occurred during Berlin Fashion Week in 2024 when clothing brand Namilia released a controversial T-shirt featuring the phrase "I love Ozempic". Extreme thinness is once again in style, thanks to the use of this medication authorized for treating adults with type 2 diabetes, making it easier and more accessible. While some claim that these drugs work better than Moss's phrase in curbing "food noise" - the presence of repetitive thoughts causing a person to constantly think about their next meal - many have lost the pleasure of anything else.
This phenomenon is called Ozempic personality, not to be confused with Ozempic face, which has the same origin but more visible results.
