If you’re not losing weight while taking a GLP-1 drug<\/a>, it could be because your metabolism is slow, which is how rapidly your body burns calories. A lot of people label it a “plateau,” but this may happen with any weight loss method, not just medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These drugs are part of a group of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. At first, they were made to aid people with type 2 diabetes, but now many doctors also give them to those who are overweight and have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above. Some are approved for weight loss, while others are given for other reasons but are nonetheless effective for weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts also say that medicine alone isn’t enough. Dr. Paunel Vukasinov<\/a>, an internist and obesity medicine physician, says, “These treatments are powerful tools for weight management, but they work best when combined with healthy eating, regular activity, and long-term lifestyle changes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While hitting a stall on the path to your target weight can be frustrating, it’s normal. Knowing why plateaus happen with GLP-1 drugs and how to get past them will help you stay motivated and on track. Leer el art\u00edculo<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
