Weight Loss
Weight loss refers to the process of reducing body mass, either intentionally (through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes) or unintentionally (due to health conditions). It involves a decrease in fat, muscle, or water content in the body, often measured as a reduction in total body weight.
What is Semaglutide for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide is a drug to promote weight loss in people who are considered obese and/or overweight. While Semaglutide has previously been used to help people with diabetes, it has become incredibly popular for its effectiveness in helping overweight people lose weight in a safe manner.
With small weekly injections, men and women can experience significant weight loss to look and feel their best. It is often recommended to receive the injections in combination with incorporating a healthy diet and exercise into your daily routine for maximum results.
How Does Semaglutide Help With Weight Loss?
Semaglutide is GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide-1), a receptor agonist
This means that it mimics the hormone GLP-1, which regulates hunger and food intake. Additionally, when Semaglutide is taken on a weekly basis, it suppresses the hormone glucagon to prevent feelings of hunger. Additionally, it delays gastric emptying, therefore making you feel more satisfied after a meal.
Semaglutide injections combined with exercise resulted in a mean decrease in body weight
A recent study of 1,961 people found that in people with a BMI over 30 and who did not have diabetes, Semaglutide injections combined with exercise resulted in a mean decrease in body weight of 14.9% over 68 weeks. The placebo group saw only a 2.4% mean decrease in weight.
Semaglutide provided even more significant weight loss
A second study found that when combined with behavioral therapy and incorporating a low-calorie diet into meal plans, Semaglutide provided even more significant weight loss.
Semaglutide is often prescribed to men and women who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher that is accompanied by high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or other health conditions that can make weight loss difficult.
