While GLP-1 may sounds like a good way to lose weight. It is also important to recognize the downfalls of it. For one, it is expensive. Second, it is not a sustainable option to keep the weight from coming back. Once someone stops taking GLP-1 they will gain the weight back if they have not made the lifestyle changes to support their health goals.
Some ways you can support healthy weight loss include:
Eat a balanced diet: Focus on consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and limit your intake of processed foods and added sugars.
Exercise regularly: Aim to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week and mix it up with a variety of activities like cardio, strength training, and stretching.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body functioning properly and to help you feel fuller and more satisfied.
Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help your body recover and regulate your hormones, which can affect your appetite and metabolism.
Manage stress: Find healthy ways to cope with stress, like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga, as stress can lead to overeating or unhealthy food choices.
Seek support: Consider working with a registered dietitian, a personal trainer, or a weight loss support group to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.
Ultimately it is important to ask yourself "why do I really want to use this method?" While using GLP-1 may be good for some people, there are other's out there that see it is as a quick fix, and may not be making healthy decisions for their body specifically.
It is important to speak to your medical professionals before you begin using weight loss drugs. I created a twelve minute YouTube video on this topic.
