GLP-1 Injectables for Weight Loss
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are prescription medications originally developed for diabetes but now widely used for medical weight loss.
They work by mimicking a natural hormone involved in appetite, digestion, and insulin regulation.
How They Help With Weight Loss?
How GLP-1 Medications Support Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications support weight loss through several mechanisms:
- Reduced Appetite – Makes you feel full sooner and less hungry overall
- Slower Digestion – Food moves more slowly through the stomach
- Better Blood Sugar Control – Helps reduce cravings
- Increased Satiety Signals – Helps regulate appetite in the brain
Typical Weight Loss Results
Expected Weight Loss with GLP-1 and Dual GIP/GLP-1 Therapy
- Once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy – Approximately 15% average body-weight reduction
- Dual-action GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy – Approximately 15–22% or more average weight loss, the highest among current injectable options
- Daily GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy – Approximately 5–10% average body-weight reduction
Note: Combined with nutrition, exercise, and behavioral support, many patients achieve even greater results.
