What Sustainable Weight Loss Means
Sustainable means long-lasting, which is what you want on your weight loss journey. It goes beyond short-term diets and quick fixes, allowing you to achieve lasting weight loss while maintaining lifestyle changes. GLP-1 medications help you reset how you eat and think about food, proper nutrition, and physical activity. It teaches you to be more mindful and aware of your hunger through appetite control and the development of sustainable habits.
Sustainable means over time. When you commit to a weight loss journey, you commit to health beyond losing weight. You are committing to a healthier well-being. Weight reduction is essential, but better health should be your primary focus for long-term sustainability and success.
Common Obstacles in Achieving Sustainable Weight Loss
Most people experience the same obstacles when striving to achieve sustainable weight loss. They feel out of control as if their appetite controls them. They yo-yo diet in hopes of losing enough weight to continue on a downward slope. They feel unmotivated, discouraged, and exhausted, forever chasing an ideal weight. It’s the battle of the bulge, and almost everyone has dealt with a few extra pounds, or a lot of extra pounds, that they long to get rid of.
While rare, metabolic challenges could significantly contribute to weight gain and make it difficult to achieve sustainable weight loss. Hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or thyroid dysfunction could adversely affect weight loss because your body is getting signals to hang onto fat for as long as possible. To treat this kind of obstacle, you need professional healthcare help to balance hormones and address underlying disorders before attempting weight loss.
An Overview of GLP-1 Medications, How They Work, and Side Effects
Some people would call GLP-1 medications an advancement in medical weight loss methods. While the medicines have been around for a while, their link to weight loss for everyday people wasn’t discovered until recently, and hundreds of thousands of people have already jumped at the chance to lose weight safely and sustainably.
GLP-1 medications work by—
- Regulating blood sugar to control insulin response.
- Suppressing appetite and hunger signals, like ghrelin (the hunger hormone), to reduce food intake and curb overeating.
- Reducing gastric emptying speeds, allowing you to feel fuller for longer to limit over-consumption.
Side effects of GLP-1 medications are mild and only last a short time. The most common side effects are nausea and diarrhea, but there could also be blood sugar drops as your body adjusts. In some cases, people who eat fatty foods or junk foods have experienced stomach pains and gassy discomfort for 1-2 hours after consumption.
How GLP-1 Medications Help Overcome Weight Loss Hurdles
GLP-1 medications were initially utilized for people with diabetes to help control blood sugar, reduce cravings, and control appetite. For weight loss, these medications act as jump starters, doing the same things that they would do for type 2 diabetes but for fat loss.
In a nutshell, weight loss is all about calories. If you consume more calories than you burn, you’ll gain weight; if you burn more calories than you consume, you’ll lose weight. It seems like a simple system, but your metabolism and appetite could be out of whack, so you could consume too many calories without realizing it. GLP-1 medications help to curb your desire to overeat by regulating hunger signals in your stomach and brain. It also boosts your metabolism to foster fat burning, leading to the long-term development of healthier eating habits.
Weight loss focuses on control. When your appetite is under control, you can reach your weight loss and wellness goals better. Sota Wellness helps you achieve these goals and reach for success with a combination of diet, exercise, and GLP-1 medications.
