South Korea's Weight Loss Fad: A Recipe for Misguided Optimism South Korea's social media platforms have been abuzz with a recipe claiming to induce weight loss through the natural secretion of GLP 1, a hormone linked to satiety and reduced food intake.
Dubbed "natural Wegovy" by some enthusiasts, the egg and oil concoction has garnered millions of views on short form videos, with many users touting its effectiveness in curbing appetite.
The recipe's popularity can be attributed, at least in part, to the high costs associated with prescription weight loss injections such as Wegovy and Mounjaro.
