I'm very interested in the kind of creative things people can come up with to keep weight off in a comprehensive way where we are not just relying on a drug or on lifestyle changes, but some combination of the two. Looking ahead, there also is reason to be optimistic that these first-generation GLP-1 agonists are just the start of a new pharmacologic concept geared at both weight loss and overall health improvement, said Heffron
Taking your injection at the same time each day/week, eating smaller meals, avoiding high-fat foods, and staying well-hydrated can help minimise discomfort
But, when you have a medication that is effective enough to combat the biological changes that occur with weight loss, you do not have to work so hard with behavioral modification, it just comes naturally
These systems make it challenging to accept your body as it is, and it makes you feel as though you constantly need to be improving your physical appearance in order to be worthy of love, success, and happiness
