Preguntas comunes
Is GLP-1 faster than diet alone?
Generally yes. Clinical trials show semaglutide 2.4mg produces approximately 15% body weight loss over 68 weeks. Achieving the same result through a 500 kcal/day deficit alone would take longer for most people, especially those with higher starting weights. The medication also helps reduce appetite, making adherence easier.
Can you combine GLP-1 with a calorie deficit?
Yes, and it is recommended. GLP-1 medications work best alongside reduced-calorie diets and exercise. The medication suppresses appetite, making it easier to maintain a deficit. Patients who combine both typically achieve better results than either approach alone.
What happens when you stop GLP-1 medication?
Research shows weight tends to return after stopping. The STEP 4 trial showed approximately 7% weight regain within a year of stopping Wegovy. Building sustainable diet and exercise habits during treatment is essential for maintaining results long-term.
Who is a candidate for GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications for weight loss are typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30+ (obese), or BMI of 27+ with at least one weight-related condition (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). Your doctor will evaluate your individual situation.
