Medical weight loss
Long-term weight management has been studied for years, and a good breakthrough has been discovered. Medical weight loss is an injectable antidiabetic medication cleared by the FDA in 2017 to treat type 2 diabetes. In June 2021, it was approved by the FDA for weight loss management. Medical weight loss mimics the hormone GLP-1 in your body to lower blood sugar after eating. In addition, the medication increases insulin secretion, which increases sugar metabolism.
The hormone GLP-1 causes blood sugar regulation to stimulate those who are glucose-dependent on insulin secretion. Insulin promotes sugar uptake by the cells and stores sugar as glycogen to promote fat building and skeletal muscle. GLP-1 inhibits glucagon release or slows down the release of sugar into the blood to enable you to burn more fat. It also makes you feel full and decreases your appetite.
Medical weight loss is considered a glucagon-like peptide-1 or GLP-1 agonist, and as such, studies prove that Medical weight loss greatly reduces the amount of food you eat. It helps reduce your appetite, and you naturally lose weight by not eating as much. Medical weight loss also has the benefit of lowering your appetite.
Medical weight loss is very safe when prescribed by a medical specialist. It is the only weight loss scientific injection that helps you feel full. Medical weight loss is regulated by starting you on the lowest dose at 0.5. After that, injections are every week and increase by 0.5 weekly as tolerated. You will eventually work up to injections, with a dose of 2.5 mg weekly. That is when you will see the pounds disappear and your body contour change.
