"It's Impossible to Gain Weight Eating This"... Doctor Praises the 'Natural Wegovy'

Woo Changyun, Endocrinology Specialist

"Essential to consume 2 to 3 eggs in the morning"

An endocrinology specialist has identified eggs as a food that increases satiety in a way similar to diet injections.

Woo Changyun, endocrinology specialist and director of Wim Clinic, pointed out in an interview with health media outlet Longjin released on April 22 that “the daily protein intake of women in Korea does not meet the recommended standard.” He emphasized, “It is essential to consume two to three eggs, or about 20 grams of protein, in the morning.”

He explained, “The quality of protein is as important as the quantity,” and added, “Animal-based protein contains more essential amino acids and has a higher absorption rate than plant-based protein.” He recommended consuming protein from foods such as eggs, chicken, beef, and pork.

Director Woo also stressed the importance of protein intake on the YouTube channel 'Drfriends' on April 19. He said, “Some people skip rice and substitute a meal with a piece of cake to lose weight, but this is the worst choice. If you lack protein, dietary fiber, and fat, your satiety hormones decrease. When satiety hormones are low, the brain craves fast-absorbing carbohydrates and fats for survival, which ultimately leads to irresistible reward-driven cravings.”

Director Woo stated, “If you crave a late-night snack, I recommend consuming foods that induce the release of satiety hormones,” and suggested a piece of meat and an egg. He reiterated, “It is impossible to gain weight from eating these. I have never met anyone who became overweight from eating eggs.” He added, “Cholesterol and protein provide an incredible sense of fullness. If you add olive oil, that’s essentially ‘Wegovy.’ The hormones released by your body will naturally make you feel full.”

He also shared advice on a healthy diet including eggs. Eating an egg 30 minutes before or right before a meal can significantly reduce your total food intake. In addition, consuming eggs with cabbage can benefit gut health and overall metabolism, while pairing eggs with multigrain rice containing oats or lentils can improve nutritional balance. He further suggested, “If you add a boiled egg to Greek yogurt and a spoonful of olive oil, it can prevent blood sugar spikes and maximize satiety.”

Wegovy is an obesity treatment that helps with weight loss by sustaining satiety and suppressing appetite through the regulation of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone levels with the active ingredient semaglutide.
