The FDA has approved GLP-1 medicines for people with and without diabetes. This makes it easier than ever to lose weight. Texas Tech doctor Dr. Drew Payne, who works in weight loss strategies, says that these drugs can help people lose up to 15% of their body weight. He talks about how GLP-1 drugs make the body feel fuller for longer and slow down digestion, which means that fewer calories are eaten in the end.
GLP-1 medicines were first created to help people with diabetes, but now they are also commonly used to lose weight. Thanks to a lot of studies, Dr. Payne says they are safe for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. He does stress, though, that there is no one-size-fits-all medication and that it's essential to work with a doctor to find the best answer for each person.
Dr. Payne says that people who are thinking about taking GLP-1 medicines should get help during the whole process. Having someone hold you responsible, like a doctor, a family member, or a friend, can make your success much more extraordinary. As the new year starts, having a weight loss partner who is there for you can help you reach your goals.
