Does glp 1 cause weight loss?

My doctor has recommended a GLP-1 medication for me to manage my type 2 diabetes and also help with my weight. I want to understand more about its effect on weight. Does GLP-1 actually lead to weight loss?

Haan na, it definitely causes weight loss, actually that is why it is so famous nowadays. It suppresses your appetite so you eat very less without even trying. But lifestyle change is also important, ho na, otherwise weight will come back.

When my doctor first put me on it, I started losing weight so rapidly that I panicked thinking something was seriously wrong with me. But my doc reassured me that it is completely normal because of how the medicine works on your gut. It really works, just stay hydrated.

Bro, it absolutely does. I was struggling with my weight for years and my doctor prescribed this. The food noise in my head just stopped completely and I lost around 8 kgs in two months. You just don't feel like overeating anymore.

It does cause weight loss, but please be very careful. I had severe nausea and dehydration issues, and ended up in the clinic because my dosage wasn't adjusted right. Please don't take it without strict medical supervision.

It works well for weight loss and saves you from the constant struggle of dieting while managing a busy work schedule. But realistically, you must use that time to build better eating habits, or you will gain it all back once you stop.

It helps reduce weight by slowing down digestion, yes. However, true health comes when we combine this with gentle physical movement and deep breathing exercises like Kapalbhati. Let your body heal naturally alongside any therapy.

My doctor at Apollo Hospital explained that while it is highly effective for weight management, it is not a magic cosmetic drug. You should book a proper consultation with a senior endocrinologist to see if it is suitable for your body type.

Yes, it is highly effective for weight loss. I track my daily calorie intake on MyFitnessPal and noticed my deficit was much easier to maintain on this medication because it delays gastric emptying. Just make sure you are still hitting your daily protein targets.
