Why GLP-1 Medicated Weight Loss Works When Diets Don’t
So you’ve tried every diet in the book only to see the scale bounce back, you’re not alone. Research shows that 80–95% of dieters regain “the weight” within 1–5 years (or less). The problem? Most diets don’t address the biological reasons your body resists weight loss. In other words, it’s not all your fault – and it most likely never was.
That’s where GLP-1 medications — like those offered at Elara — change the game.
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a hormone that:
- Reduces appetite by sending “full” signals to your brain sooner.
– Most parents have hardwired us from birth to stop eating when we are full. This is wrong! We are meant to stop eating when we are no longer hungry.
- Slows digestion, so you feel satisfied longer.
-Ever get the feeling that your meal just “went right through you”? Or you eat 2 helpings of rice and suddenly you’re hungry again 30 minutes later. Yeah, this helps that.
- Improves blood sugar control, reducing cravings and energy crashes.
-Did you know that hunger can be a symptom of sugar crashes? That’s right! That sudden insatiable appetite can be traced right back to an unbalanced diet causing sugar crashes! An unbalanced diet doesn’t always mean too much food – oftentimes, skipping meals leads to sugar crashes as well.
When your hunger cues calm down, it’s not just easier to eat less — it’s easier to stick to healthier choices. Have you ever heard the phrase “don’t go grocery shopping while you’re hungry”? The same can be said for preparing or ordering your meals while feeling starved. In a world of modern conveniences, having “the entire grocery store” at our fingertips can lead to overwhelming cravings and not enough support to nurture your body with the right meals.
Quiet food noise.
