Everything you need to know about weight loss + weight maintenance in and after GLP-1.
There has been a tornado of healthy NEST food customers using GLP-1 hormones for weight loss in recent months. Interesting, positive and negative discussions have been exhausted.
Here’s what I see in my office. This is not a controlled study in any way, but it is a look at how the dynamics of weight loss and maintenance has changed since GLP-1 increased in popularity.
How does GLP-1 work
GLP-1 medicines are actually a class of drugs that mimic the actions of a natural hormone called GLP-1. These drugs cheat on the body to believe that it has more than the hormone than it really does, which leads to increased amounts of insulin (which helps insulin resistance). GLP-1 also slows down digestion and reduces appetite and reduces overall blood sugar levels (which is good), which can contribute to weight loss. Doctors love them and seem to prescribe them a lot. The cost is generally reduced, making GLP-1 more accessible to the strange consumer.
The good: positive results
Some customers go nice while downloading GLP-1s such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy. Sometimes even a small amount really helps the bravy about food. The biggest change for people is still the fact that they think of food less and are calmer for food choices, portions and order.
Research shows that people taking GLP-1 drugs generally reduce their daily calorie intake by 16 to 39 %. I have seen the need to be entitled to a dosage to continue to feel the same results and the subsequent efficiency.
The not so good: common side effects
Nausea seems to be a problem for 50 % of the people I’ve talked to. This is one of the greatest negative side effects and forces some people to stop taking medicines. Others stopped taking medicines due to continuing expenses. Many fight with Boomeranging Weight. This problem is very real!
Success Secrets to Download GLP-1S
- When taking medicines, it is really important Priority to food And eating an anti -inflammatory diet rich in real high fiber foods, healthy fats and many vegetables.
- Smaller, more frequent meals It’s the key when on the GLP-1s because you are not just hungry. It helps to ensure that you get what you need from your food. Food breach is not an option, even though you are not so hungry. You still need to understand how to eat real food and small amounts keeps you involved.
- Protein in every meal It is important so that you have enough every day. This will ensure that you do not lose muscle while also losing fat. Spread proteins throughout the day to give the body what it needs.
- Eating fruit + vegetables is important for fiber. By choosing colorful fruits + vegetables over the granules helps in constipation, which is a common side effect of the drugs, and also ensures that you take all the vitamins, minerals and vegetables your body needs to run smoothly. Obviously, only 5 % of Americans eat several fibers a day. Adding a side of fruits or vegetables is always a good idea.
- Eating healthy fats Ensures satisfaction from your meals. Healthy fats add a feeling of prosperity and balance that is so important. Even if you are full, you must feel satisfied with food. There are no fats enough can derail your efforts, but olive oil is a little insurance that you will feel satisfied with your little meals.
- Drinking water is the key. We tend to mix hunger and thirst. It’s summer, so make sure your water bottle is full and squeeze the day. Just drink more water. (This does not necessarily affect GLP-1s but it is always a good idea!)
4 Ways of Healthy Food Food can help with GLP-1s
- Creating ideas to keep food interesting, maintaining customers who are dealing with decisions and preventing the fatigue of decisions.
- Standards-Pyrbulism How to handle travel, concerts, friends and colleagues of problems or difficult social interactions.
- Design and management preparation, including recipes available, refrigerator, freezer and closet. Food in hand means you will stick to your plan. This is really very difficult and so important for long -term success.
- Treatment of food or helping the mental and emotional aspects of a changing relationship with food.
Life after GLP-1: The match
For people who are recently out of GLP-1 completely because they stopped working effectively or because of cost or other reasons, some things tend to happen:
- Food conversation returns to the brain
- The weight drags again
- People come back to old habits without giving priority to whole real food
This scares people, and then they arrive for help.
