Why Diet and Exercise Often Fall Short

Diet and exercise are essential components of a healthy lifestyle, but they often fail to deliver long-term weight loss results on their own. Many people find that despite their best efforts, traditional weight loss plans lead to temporary success followed by weight regain. This is due to metabolic adaptation, where the body adjusts to lower calorie intake by slowing metabolism. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Murfreesboro, we offer medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to manage hunger and support long-term weight loss.

How Do Weight Loss Medications Work?

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that mimics the effects of a naturally occurring hormone in the body. By stimulating GLP-1 receptors, Semaglutide enhances insulin secretion, reduces glucagon levels, and slows gastric emptying. These actions contribute to decreased appetite and prolonged feelings of fullness, which help reduce overall calorie intake. Semaglutide essentially helps keep you from feeling hungry too soon. This means you're less likely to overeat, supporting steady weight loss.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a novel dual GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. By activating these receptors, Tirzepatide enhances insulin sensitivity, suppresses appetite, and delays gastric emptying. This dual action results in reduced hunger and increased satiety, making it easier to adhere to a calorie-controlled diet. The delayed gastric emptying also helps in managing post-meal blood sugar levels, contributing to more effective weight management and long-term weight loss success.

You May Be a Good Candidate for Weight Loss If:

  • You have struggled to lose weight despite diet and exercise efforts
  • You experience frequent hunger or cravings that make it hard to stick to a calorie plan
  • You find it challenging to maintain long-term weight loss after initial success
  • You have underlying health conditions that make weight management difficult
  • You are looking for additional support to achieve and maintain a healthier weight
  • You have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, indicating obesity
  • You have a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes

How Much Weight Can I Lose With Weight Loss Medications?

With weight loss medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, you can achieve significant results. On Semaglutide, you may lose up to 15-20% of your body weight over several months. Tirzepatide can offer even more, potentially leading to a 20-25% weight reduction. You’ll start seeing noticeable changes within a few weeks, with continued progress over time. These medications help you lose weight effectively by reducing appetite and prolonging feelings of fullness, supporting your journey to a healthier weight.

Tips to Optimize Your Weight Loss Results:

  • Follow your prescribed medication schedule consistently
  • Combine medication with a balanced, nutritious diet
  • Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
  • Monitor your progress and adjust your goals as needed
