Slim4life’s APPROACH TO Medical Weight Loss

Understanding Medical Intervention:  GLP-1 and Similar Medications

GLP-1 medications (including tirzepatide, semaglutide, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and other newer oral GLP-1s) were originally developed for diabetes but have gained attention for weight loss.

How They Work

• These medications mimic a hormone that helps regulate hunger and blood sugar.
• They can suppress appetite and potentially lead to significant weight loss while taking the medication. Cochrane

Average Results Reported by Manufacturers

• Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide (Zepbound / Mounjaro) has shown average weight loss results of up to ~20.2% body weight in trials (~50 lbs for some participants). Lilly Investor Relations
• Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide (Wegovy / Ozempic) typically shows about 15–17% average weight loss in clinical studies. Wall Street Journal
• New oral GLP-1 options (like Lilly’s orforglipron) have shown results in the ~12–13% range in trials. Lilly Investor Relations

These results are averages from controlled clinical settings — real-world outcomes can vary. In actual practice, patients often lose less weight than in trials. Reddit

Important Caveats With  GLP-1 Medications

• You need to stay on the medication to maintain weight loss. If you stop, the majority of the weight is likely to come back — often within under 2 years. Reuters
• Weight regain after stopping medication tends to happen much faster than after lifestyle-based weight loss. People.com
• These meds donot teach long-term habits or address the behaviors that cause weight regain once the drug is discontinued.
• Many users require ongoing medication for continued results, which can be costly and inconvenient.
• In other words:results tied to medication often end when the medication does. The Times

 Medical  Facts to Know
