GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss

A new slimming treatment starting with Rybelsus, Ozempic, and Mounjaro

For those who struggle with strict diets and intense exercise

If you have struggled with traditional weight loss methods, the GLP-1 Diet—utilizing the power of medical science—is currently attracting significant attention.
By borrowing the power of GLP-1 receptor agonists, many people are choosing this new method to aim for a body constitution that loses weight naturally without unreasonable effort.

What is GLP-1? Explaining the Mechanism

GLP-1 is a type of hormone naturally produced in the human body. It is secreted when you eat, working to control blood sugar levels and suppress appetite.
The GLP-1 diet is a treatment method aimed at naturally suppressing appetite and reducing calorie intake by administering drugs that have a similar effect to this GLP-1.
By acting on the brain to increase satiety and slowing down stomach digestion, it is also expected to keep you feeling full for longer.

1. Sustained Fullness

It slows down the speed at which food moves from the stomach to the small intestine, sustaining the feeling of fullness. This naturally leads to a reduction in the amount of food eaten.

2. Prevents Fat Accumulation

It efficiently promotes insulin secretion only when blood sugar levels are high, preventing excess sugar from being stored as fat.

3. Suppresses Unnecessary Appetite

It suppresses the secretion of glucagon, which raises blood sugar levels. This prevents unnecessary snacking and binge eating caused by hunger.

Why do some gain weight easily while others don’t?

The reason why ease of gaining weight differs even when eating the same things and living a similar lifestyle is largely related to post-meal blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity.

Insulin Function and Sensitivity

Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels. Because it also works to store excess sugar in fat cells, secreting large amounts can make you gain weight easily.

To make it harder to gain weight, it is important to aim for a constitution where insulin works effectively (high sensitivity), controlling blood sugar with a moderate amount of insulin.

Dietary Tips to Improve Insulin Resistance

Meals that prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar can bring you closer to a constitution that is hard to gain weight.

  • Choose Low GI Foods: Brown rice, whole grain bread, soba noodles, etc., to moderate blood sugar rise.
  • Eat Fiber First: Eat vegetables and seaweed first to delay the absorption of carbohydrates.
  • Ensure Adequate Protein: Meat, fish, and soy products help you feel full.
  • Improve Eating Habits: Chew well and eat slowly to make it easier to feel full.

The Role of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

GLP-1 supports a state where it is difficult for fat to accumulate by preventing excessive insulin secretion and suppressing appetite, allowing you to reduce food intake without strain.

Differences in GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

Drug Name Active Ingredient Main Mechanism Administration Features
Rybelsus Semaglutide GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Oral (Pill) The only oral medication available.
Ozempic Semaglutide GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Injection Generally administered once a week. One pen is used multiple times by changing needles.
Mounjaro Tirzepatide GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonist Injection Acts on two hormones, expecting higher efficacy. Weekly administration. Disposable each time.

“Rybelsus”: The Only Oral Medication

Recommended for those resistant to injections or those who can take medication at a set time every day. Taking it daily maintains effectiveness, allowing you to continue dieting without strain.

Benefits of the GLP-1 Diet

  • No Strict Dietary Restrictions: Appetite is naturally suppressed, reducing food intake.
  • Less Likely to Rebound: Since it aims for a constitution that loses weight easily, effects are said to continue even after treatment ends.

Who Cannot Use This

Those with severe gastrointestinal disorders, a history of pancreatic or thyroid disease, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those over 75 years old, or those who consume large amounts of alcohol cannot use this medication.
