🔍GLP-1 Medications at a Glance
GLP-1 medications help regulate appetite, slow digestion, reduce cravings, and improve blood sugar levels — all of which support steady, sustainable weight loss.
About Semaglutide:
- FDA-approved for weight loss as Wegovy® (2021)
- Originally developed as Ozempic® for type 2 diabetes
- Hormone Targets GLP-1
- Taken as a once-weekly injection
- Average Weight Loss of 15-20%
About Tirzepatide:
- FDA-approved as Mounjaro® (for diabetes) and Zepbound® (for weight loss)
- A dual-action GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist
- May offer greater weight loss results in some patients compared to semaglutide
- Average Weight Loss of 20-22%
💡 Both medications are proven effective, especially when paired with healthy nutrition, movement, and regular follow-up.
🌱Your First Month
Weeks 1–4: Goal — Let your body adjust to the medication
What to expect:
- Smaller portion sizes and reduced hunger
- Mild nausea, fatigue, or digestive changes (usually temporary)
- Improved energy stability
Provider’s Role: We’ll check in to help with dose adjustments or side effect management.
💡 Pro Tip: Prioritize protein and hydration early. It supports fat loss while preserving lean muscle.
🌿Your Second Month
Weeks 5–8: Goal — Begin steady, visible weight loss
What to expect:
- Clothes may start fitting differently
- Appetite suppression becomes more consistent
- Energy levels continue to improve
📉 Many patients see 5–10% of their starting weight lost by the end of this phase.
🌳Your Third Month
Weeks 9–12: Goal — Build momentum and sustainable habits
What to expect:
- Noticeable changes in photos, measurements, and even compliments
- Cravings are greatly reduced
- Appetite control starts to feel natural
- Confidence grows as results show
👥 We’ll also revisit your long-term goals and discuss whether to continue, adjust, or pause treatment.
🏆Tips for Success
- Take your injection the same day each week
- Plan meals to avoid last-minute decisions and improve consistency
- Track your progress — photos, measurements, and how clothes fit show change beyond the scale
- Stay in touch — report any side effects early so we can help
- Move your body daily — even light activity like walking boosts results
- Focus on high-protein, low-sugar meals the day before and after your injection
→ This supports blood sugar stability, reduces nausea, and helps your body respond more smoothly to the medication
Small, consistent habits = long-term success.
