EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SEMAGLUTIDE FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Many people’s weight loss journeys are fraught with highs, lows, and pitfalls. It’s one thing to know what you should be doing; it’s another to make the commitment and follow through with it. Losing weight can be a difficult challenge. That’s where Semaglutide can come in. Semaglutide can be an effective way to help you lose weight. It has the advantage of being more targeted and effective than many other methods but it can also be combined with other weight loss methods.

WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?

Originally created as a medication for type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has also recently been FDA-approved to aid in weight loss. The medication mimics a hormone in the body called GLP-1. The hormone helps to regulate the appetite and trigger the release of insulin which regulates blood sugar. By doing this, it simulates the feeling of being full. By acting as an appetite suppressant, it can help you lose weight.

HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE TREATMENT WORK?

Semaglutide is administered via injection once per week at home under the supervision of a physician. The exact dosage depends on your needs and will gradually be increased as treatment continues. While taking the drug, it’s recommended that you stick to an exercise routine and a healthy diet. At Vitalab, we recommend pairing Semaglutide with our Science of Slim weight loss program. With regular injections and a healthy lifestyle, patients can lose 1-2 pounds per week.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SEMAGLUTIDE FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

Using Semaglutide not only helps you lose weight, it does so gradually so it’s much safer than crash or fad diets. When you lose weight this way, you’re more likely to keep it off. By reducing cravings and hunger, you also don’t have to struggle with craving unhealthy foods. You’re less likely to be hunting for a brownie in your pantry for a midnight snack. Additionally, with only one injection per week, it’s easy to use and is very convenient. With only one injection per week, it can be much easier and more effective than medications you need to take every day.

WHAT ARE SEMAGLUTIDE RESULTS LIKE?

The results of Semaglutide are pretty impressive. With a 2.4 mg dosage of Semaglutide, people have lost 15% of their body weight over a year. This means if you’re 200 pounds, you may lose 30 pounds after a year on the medication. As time goes on, you’re also likely to see that you aren’t putting the weight back on and that your appetite isn’t as strong as it may have been before taking the medication.
