The challenges of losing weight
Achieving and maintaining weight loss requires a sustained calorie deficit, meaning you need to burn more calories than you consume. While this may seem straightforward, it can be challenging to maintain over time. As you reduce calorie intake, your body often responds by slowing metabolism and increasing hunger, which can make continued weight loss difficult. These responses are natural mechanisms that protect the body, though they can lead to weight regain. GLP-1s help address these challenges by supporting appetite control.
