Weight-loss medications like Ozempic have impacted food consumption patterns, with a Bloomberg survey noting a shift towards healthier eating habits among users.

Despite concerns from food brands about declining sales due to reduced appetite, Sweetgreen Inc. experienced an increase in visits from individuals on these medications, suggesting a preference for “veggie-forward” options.

Fast-food chains face challenges adapting to these changing consumer preferences, with the survey revealing burgers as one of the food categories hit the hardest.

Survey respondents also visited Outback Steakhouse, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and the Cheesecake Factory less frequently after taking weight-loss drugs, according to the report. On average, those surveyed reported a 19% monthly decline in restaurant spending after beginning a GLP-1 drug and the frequency at which they visited the chains dropped by roughly 50%.
