GLP-1 Usage Statistics, 2026

A side-by-side comparison of two independently fielded 2025/2026 US polls (Gallup and KFF) on GLP-1 medication use — current and lifetime use, demographic breakdowns, brand-name versus compounded use, and affordability. Full methodology and both original sources are in the source article.

GLP-1 usage trend, 2024 to 2026: current use rose from 3% of US adults in 2024 to 11% per Gallup's July 2026 poll, with KFF's separate November 2025 poll putting it at 12%

Key figures

  • 11-12% of US adults currently take a GLP-1 drug — Gallup (July 2026) and KFF (November 2025) respectively, up from just 3% in 2024.
  • 15% of women vs. 9% of men currently take a GLP-1 drug (KFF).
  • Adults 50-64 have the highest usage rate of any age group, at 22% (KFF); usage drops to 9% for adults 65+.
  • 56% of GLP-1 users say the drugs are difficult to afford — including 55% of users who have insurance (KFF).
  • 68% of current users are on a brand-name product (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound); 19% are on a compounded version (Gallup).

Weekly Grocery Cost by Diet Pattern, 2026

Real 7-day meal plans, generated by Calorilator's own production meal-plan engine, priced ingredient by ingredient against real 2026 US grocery data (USDA, BLS/FRED, and retail averages). Full methodology and every source in the source article.

Weekly grocery cost by diet pattern, 2026: vegan cheapest at $46.17/week, vegetarian $65.41/week, halal $74.01/week, Mediterranean $76.41/week, pescatarian $76.91/week, omnivore $85.17/week, low-carb $97.79/week, high-protein most expensive at $103.56/week

Key figures

  • Vegan is cheapest at $46.17/week — below USDA's 2026 Thrifty Food Plan reference cost for a single adult woman ($57/week).
  • High-protein is most expensive at $103.56/week — 124% more than the vegan pattern.
  • Protein costs 70% more per gram on the high-protein pattern ($0.0684/g) than on vegan ($0.0402/g).
  • Low-carb ($97.79/week) costs 15% more than a standard omnivore pattern ($85.17/week) at the same calorie target.
