How do GLP-1 medications work?
Weight loss medications, also commonly referred to as GLP-1 medications, like Semaglutide help with weight loss by reducing appetite and making you feel fuller for longer. It works by slowing down how quickly food leaves the stomach, which helps people eat less. When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, it can make losing weight easier.
What can I expect to happen when starting a GLP-1 medication?
Semaglutide injections are easy to use and virtually painless, with many people feeling little to no discomfort. Results typically start to show within a few weeks, with noticeable weight loss occurring over time. Most people can expect to lose around 5-10% of their body weight within a few months when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. The process is gradual, but consistent, making it a manageable and effective option for weight loss.
Are GLP-1 medications right for me?
Medical weight loss treatments may be right for you if you're struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, and if you're looking for additional support. These treatments are designed for individuals who are overweight or obese and may have underlying health conditions that make weight loss more challenging. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if a medical weight loss plan is suitable for your specific needs and goals.
