FAT jabs are ruining dinner parties as guests on weight-loss drugs lose their appetites.
A survey found one in three hosts have been annoyed by invitees rejecting meals they prepared.
Eighty per cent on the injections say they now find the social side of eating and drinking uncomfortable.
Nearly half feel it has ruined their enjoyment of dinner parties completely — with 29 per cent of hosts getting upset.
Ten per cent of guests have even stashed food in a napkin to hide their embarrassment.
Jon Horsley, from trends and insights agency Perspectus Global, said: “Weight-loss drugs are still in their early days.
“The fact that their use can make social eating difficult is just one unforeseen effect.”
And it is not just food that is spoiled for those on jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, as 18 per cent say they can no longer enjoy wine or cocktails.
Sixty per cent believe the correct etiquette is to let hosts know ahead of time that guests are on the jabs, so menus can be adjusted accordingly.
Perspectus Global’s survey of 2,000 guests and hosts found lighter options such as prawn cocktail, melon and prosciutto, fish soup or a small fillet steak are the most suitable options.
For dessert, a sorbet is the order of the day.
Mr Horsley added: “Shared meals may become more awkward until we work past the social difficulties, adapt our menus and the etiquette surrounding the subject.”
