GLP-1 analogues for weight loss

GLP-1 analogues are an effective and groundbreaking method for weight loss, especially for those who struggle to control appetite and achieve long-term results through diet and exercise alone. These medications help reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a natural reduction in calorie intake.

At FagerCare, we offer GLP-1 analogues as part of our weight-loss program, aiming to support you in achieving a healthy and sustainable weight.

What is GLP-1?

GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that plays a vital role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. The hormone is released after meals and signals the pancreas to produce insulin, helping to lower blood sugar levels. GLP-1 also affects the brain’s satiety centers, reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness.

These effects make GLP-1 analogues effective for treating both type 2 diabetes and weight loss by helping the body naturally control blood sugar and appetite.

Why try GLP-1 for overweight?

Testing GLP-1 treatment for overweight individuals can be an effective tool for those struggling to lose weight independently. GLP-1 analogues help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness by affecting the body’s natural hunger and satiety hormones, making it easier to maintain a reduced calorie intake. Additionally, GLP-1 supports blood sugar control, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, conditions often linked to being overweight. For many, the treatment offers an opportunity to create long-term changes in diet and lifestyle, achieving a healthy weight with the support of a scientifically proven method.

At FagerCare, we include GLP-1 as part of our weight-loss treatment program and help you create a long-term plan for achieving a healthy weight and improving your quality of life with our expert support.

Frequently asked questions about GLP-1

We’ve compiled the most common questions about GLP-1 to make it easy for you to find the answers you’re looking for. If you have any additional questions or concerns that are not covered here, please do not hesitate to contact us – we are here to help and answer all your questions.

GLP-1 analogues work for weight loss by mimicking the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which plays a key role in regulating appetite and blood sugar. When GLP-1 analogues are taken, they affect the brain’s satiety centers, making you feel full faster and reducing your appetite, helping lower calorie intake. Additionally, GLP-1 analogues delay gastric emptying, which prolongs feelings of fullness after meals. The treatment also has a positive effect on blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release when needed, which is particularly beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.

With GLP-1 analogues, you may start to see results within a few weeks, but actual weight loss varies from person to person. Many experience gradual weight loss after about 4–8 weeks, while others may need more time depending on the body’s response, diet and activity levels. Generally, greater results are seen after three to six months, especially when the treatment is combined with healthy eating habits and regular exercise. Our doctor will follow up on your treatment to ensure progress and adjust the dosage if necessary.

The most effective GLP-1 analogues for weight loss are Semaglutide (Wegovy) and Liraglutide (Saxenda). Semaglutide is taken as a weekly injection and has been shown to produce significant weight loss, with an average reduction of approximately 15% over one year. Liraglutide is used daily via injection and achieves an average weight loss of 5–7% over a year. Both Semaglutide and Liraglutide help reduce appetite and increase satiety, supporting sustainable weight loss.

For optimal results, it is recommended that you make changes to both your diet and exercise habits when undergoing GLP-1 analogue treatment. By combining the treatment with a balanced diet and regular exercise, you can optimize weight loss and improve your health over time. Even small lifestyle adjustments can amplify the effects of GLP-1 treatment and contribute to long-term weight loss. Our doctors will provide dietary and exercise recommendations tailored to your needs during treatment.
