Your weight loss journey is more than just getting the Semaglutide injection. Semaglutide by itself is not an effective long-term solution; however, it provides a head start on your weight loss journey. To maximize results, adopt a holistic approach, combining changes in eating habits, a consistent exercise regimen, and the use of semaglutide weight loss injection.
SEMAGLUTIDE MEDICATION
Originally designed for treating type 2 diabetes, but, it was recently approved for weight management. Administered through a weekly injection, it mimics the effects of the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) which helps regulate blood sugar levels and can also contribute to feelings of fullness thereby aiding in weight loss. It’s essential to note that any medication, including Semaglutide, should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Meal Plan:
Patients using Semaglutide injections for weight loss must adhere to a low-calorie diet. Typically, adults need 1600 to 2400 calories (women) and 2000 to 3000 calories (men). Creating a daily diet plan with 1200 calories results in a calorie deficit of 1800, aiding in a weight loss of 3.6 lbs. Combining this low-calorie diet with exercise and Semaglutide medication supports patients in reaching their weight loss goals.
Exercise Plan:
As mentioned earlier, optimizing your Semaglutide experience involves incorporating lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Imagine you fill your car with fuel every week but never change the oil? Sure, the fuel will keep the car running for a while, however, it will eventually stop running once the oil turns into sludge. Just as regularly changing your car’s oil complements fueling for peak performance, combining Semaglutide with a healthy lifestyle enhances your weight loss journey.
Maintenance Stage:
After reaching your weight loss goals, maintaining a dosage of semaglutide weight loss medication is crucial to regression while sustaining your exercise and healthy eating habits. Our medical providers will collaborate with you to determine the appropriate maintenance dosage. Here are some pertinent points to note.
Maintenance dosage that is tailored to the patient’s weight loss maintenance goal.
If a patient discontinues or pauses medication, restarting requires beginning from the lowest dosage.
