Is liraglutide effective for weight loss?

A friend of mine who lives abroad was telling me about this drug, liraglutide, for weight loss. I'm curious if it's actually effective, or if it's just another one of those fads with no real results.

My doctor prescribed it to me last year, and yes, it is very effective because it completely suppresses your appetite. But the moment you stop using it, the hunger returns. You must build solid eating habits during the process to keep the weight off.

There are many rave reviews online, but honestly, don't trust the hype blindly. It is an injection that can cause serious nausea, vomiting, and even thyroid issues in some. You must verify its suitability for your body with a proper doctor.

It is clinically proven to be effective, yes. But remember, it is a prescription injection meant for medical obesity, not for losing 5-10 kgs for a wedding. Don't rush into it; talk to a specialist who will guide you safely.

I was reading research articles on this because my cousin was recommended it. Actually, studies show people lose about 8% of their body weight on it, but it requires a strict diet alongside. It seems effective but definitely needs commitment.

These modern injections may show fast results, but they are artificial methods. In our days, we managed weight through portion control and walking. If you must use these medicines, do so under strict medical supervision only.
