Semaglutide Curbs Your Hunger So You Lose Weight
Semaglutide is also approved for weight loss treatment in adults who are overweight or have obesity with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater.
The mechanism of action for semaglutide’s weight loss effects is thought to involve the activation of specific brain regions that control appetite and food intake.
Semaglutide is believed to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a reduction in caloric intake and subsequent weight loss.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that treatment with semaglutide can result in significant weight loss in individuals with obesity. In a large clinical trial involving over 1,900 participants with obesity, those treated with semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight over a 68-week period, compared to an average of 2.4% weight loss in the placebo group.
As with any medication, semaglutide for weight loss is not suitable for everyone and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is important to note that weight loss with semaglutide is most effective when combined with lifestyle modifications, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise.
