How Semaglutide Helps You Succeed on Your Weight Loss Journey
Taking Semaglutide for weight loss, along with adopting healthy lifestyle changes, can be a highly effective method for reducing weight and keeping it off once you’ve reached your ideal weight goal.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of the GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide 1) hormone, which targets areas of your brain that manage appetite and regulate food intake. GLP-1 is naturally produced in your gastrointestinal system to signal the brain that you are no longer hungry or craving more food.
But the hormone does more than signal your brain to regulate appetite and reduce your food intake, it also works by signaling the brain to slow the digestive process, making you feel satiated over a longer period of time.
When your brain believes that your stomach is full and you don’t feel like eating again so soon, you reduce the amount of food you eat throughout the day. So no more snacking in between meals, filling up on empty calories that lead to weight gain and slowing down your weight loss journey.
Semaglutide weight loss injections on a weekly basis are part of a comprehensive weight loss program that, along with diet and exercise, can help you achieve your healthy weight goals.
You can lose more weight with Semaglutide because it stays in the body for a longer period of time than the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone it simulates. That means you feel satiated longer, with fewer cravings.
Is Semaglutide Treatment Right For You?
Patients who want to lose weight with Semaglutide will experience the best results by first ensuring they meet the criteria as a good candidate for utilizing this innovative medical weight management program.
Body weight, health conditions, and lifestyle choices can all play a role in helping you lose excess weight with Semaglutide. Below are some of the most important factors that can have an impact on your personalized approach for reducing calorie intake and reaching your weight loss goals on your schedule.
Body Mass Index
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a set of guidelines to support the use of Semaglutide as a weight loss management solution. The patient’s Body Mass Index (BMI) must meet one of the following criteria in order for Semaglutide to be an effective option:
A patient with a BMI of 30kg/m2 or higher can be considered a good candidate for this weight loss medication
A patient with a BMI of 27kg/m2 or higher who also suffers from symptoms of weight-related health conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and/or Type 2 diabetes.
Overall Health Factors
In addition to the patient’s body mass index and weight-related health conditions, other factors including age, medical history, and lifestyle habits can have a major impact on the efficacy of Semaglutide as the right weight management solution for reaching the patient’s ideal weight objectives.
A patient dealing with certain health issues such as gallbladder disease or a history of pancreatitis may not be able to take Semaglutide for weight loss. Diet and exercise should be important components of any Semaglutide weight loss regimen. Physical activity of any kind is a good start as well as making dietary choices that are low in fat, avoiding sodium and other artificial ingredients.
Any Semaglutide program that is not administered in conjunction with diet and exercise is going to take far longer for a patient to see real progress towards his or her desired results.
How Fast does Semaglutide Work?
Every patient is different, so there is no hard and fast timeframe that applies to every individual who chooses Semaglutide as their weight loss solution. On average, a patient may start to see some initial results in as little as four weeks. But this relies on a variety of individualized factors that apply to the patient in question, not every patient who takes Semaglutide injections for weight loss.
This is why the first doses of Semaglutide are low, as the body needs time to get used to the drug and adjust to any mild side effects you may experience, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. A low dosage can help you avoid feeling any of these side effects.
Over time, the dosages may get higher as the body has fully acclimated to the medication and receptors in the brain are reacting appropriately to regulate appetite and reduce food intake.
As the treatment progresses, you may see a difference in your weight and that should help to encourage you along your weight loss journey and continue treatment along with performing routine exercise and maintaining a healthy diet. Semaglutide injections are tailored to your needs and your pace towards the desired results. Our staff work with you, guiding you the whole way, to ensure a safe, healthy, and effective path towards reaching your ideal weight loss objectives.
But this is a step-by-step process that may take time to reach your goals. A carefully considered weight loss program is what we offer at Total Skin and Wellness, personalized for your specific weight management needs. The Semaglutide weight loss program is not a one-size-fits-all approach to losing weight and we want all of our patients to receive the specialized care they deserve when taking this revolutionary weight loss drug.
