Weight Management

How do Weight Management Treatments work?

 

appitite.svg

Reduce Appetite

Weight management injections work by regulating hormones that influence hunger and satiety, leading to a significant reduction in appetite. By curbing hunger, these injections make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit, which is essential for effective weight loss.

Feel Fuller

They help individuals feel fuller for longer periods, reducing the urge to overeat or snack between meals. This supports weight loss by preventing overeating and making it easier to remain in a calorie deficit.

Improve Cardio Health

Weight loss injections can support cardiovascular health by helping to reduce excess body weight, which in turn lowers the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and other related conditions, leading to improved overall heart function.

Weight Loss Treatment Options

Mounjaro and Wegovy are both effective injectable medications for weight management, but they function differently to support your goals. Mounjaro, or tirzepatide, combines the effects of two hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, making it beneficial for both weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. It works by reducing hunger and enhancing metabolic function. Wegovy, on the other hand, primarily targets appetite by increasing feelings of fullness, which supports weight loss when used alongside a balanced diet and exercise. Orlistat is another option that works differently by blocking fat absorption in the digestive system. While Mounjaro offers dual benefits for managing diabetes and weight, and Wegovy focuses specifically on weight loss, Orlistat provides a complementary approach by helping control dietary fat intake. Each treatment has its unique benefits, and the best choice depends on your individual needs and health goals.

What to expect in your first 4 weeks

Week 1

During the first week of taking weight loss injections, you may start to notice subtle changes in your appetite and energy levels. Some people also experience mild side effects, such as nausea or digestive discomfort, as their body adjusts to the treatment. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s advice, stay hydrated, and maintain a balanced diet to support the effectiveness of the injections.

Week 2

In the second week of taking weight loss injections, you might notice a more consistent reduction in your appetite, making it easier to manage cravings and stick to your diet plan. Your body continues to adjust to the medication, and any initial side effects like nausea should begin to subside. This is also the time when you may start seeing small changes on the scale or in how your clothes fit, as your body starts responding to the reduced calorie intake.

Week 3

By the third week of taking weight loss injections, you may start noticing more tangible results, both in terms of weight loss and how you feel overall. Your appetite should be more controlled, making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit without feeling deprived. Any side effects are likely to have diminished by now, allowing you to fully engage in your healthy eating and exercise routine. This is often the stage where increased energy levels become noticeable, helping you stay motivated and active.

Week 4

By the fourth week of taking weight loss injections, you should begin to see more consistent weight loss and a greater sense of control over your appetite. Many people find that their cravings for unhealthy foods are significantly reduced, making it easier to stick to a balanced diet. You might also notice improvements in your overall well-being, such as better energy levels and mood. At this point, the injections are helping to establish new, healthier habits, laying the groundwork for continued progress. Regular check-ins with your healthcare provider will ensure that everything is on track as you move forward in your weight loss journey.

Not sure if Weight Loss treatments are right for you?

Weight loss injections might be right for you if traditional methods like diet and exercise have not achieved the desired results. These injections can effectively curb appetite and enhance metabolism, making it easier to lose weight and manage your health. They are particularly beneficial if you have struggled with obesity-related health issues or need additional support to reach your weight loss goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine if weight loss injections align with your individual needs and health objectives.

A safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is about 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kg) per week. This approach helps to maintain muscle mass and reduces the likelihood of regaining weight.
As we age, metabolism slows down due to a decrease in muscle mass and hormonal changes, making it harder to burn calories and lose weight.
Yes, high stress levels can lead to overeating and weight gain. Stress also triggers the release of cortisol, which can slow metabolism and promote fat storage, particularly in the abdominal area.
Common weight loss medications include orlistat, phentermine, and liraglutide. They work by suppressing appetite, reducing fat absorption, or enhancing feelings of fullness.
Weight loss medications are generally prescribed to adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 and above with obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. Weight loss injections are not suitable for everyone, such as those with certain medical conditions or pregnant women. Consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment.
Side effects of weight loss injections like Saxenda can include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and headache. It's important to discuss potential risks with a healthcare provider.
Some medications, like orlistat, can be used long-term under medical supervision, while others are meant for short-term use. Consult with a healthcare provider for tailored advice.
Results vary, but some people may notice weight loss within the first few weeks. Most medications work best when combined with lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise.
Yes, some weight loss medications may interact with other prescriptions. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
Yes, medications work best when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity to ensure effective and sustainable weight loss.
