Weight Loss

If you’re looking to lose weight, the first step you should take is to set realistic goals that can be achieved through healthy eating and exercise changes. However, if you have significant weight to lose and have tried everything you can think of to get it off, your doctor may prescribe terzepatide as part of your treatment plan.

This medication stimulates your body’s release of insulin in order to reduce the amount of sugar in your blood, which in turn allows your body to burn fat more effectively for energy instead of storing it away on your hips and thighs.

What Is Terzepatide?

How Does It Work for Weight Loss?

Tirzepatide is a new drug in development that targets obesity. It’s a long-acting version of a hormone naturally produced by your pancreas called glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1. When you eat, your stomach and intestines produce GLP-1 and it does two things:

First, it slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach after you eat it, making you feel fuller longer.

Second, it stimulates the production of insulin from your pancreas so that when nutrients from the food enter your bloodstream they can be used to generate energy rather than stored as fat under your skin.

Tirzepatide works by stimulating receptors in your digestive tract. These receptors send a message to your brain telling it you’re full, which results in decreased food intake and body fat loss. This is why taking tirzepatide as part of an exercise program is often recommended—when working out, you get even more stimulation of these receptors and greater benefits overall.

How Much Weight You’ll Lose

That depends on how much you weigh, to begin with, your medical history, and whether or not you have diabetes.

For example, some people who weigh 200 pounds and take Tirzepatide may lose about 20 pounds in a year. Some people who weigh 150 pounds may lose about 16 pounds in a year. If you’re overweight and have no other risk factors (like diabetes), talk to your doctor to see if Tirzepatide is right for you. But note that it’s not a magical potion. Tirzepatide works in combination with diet, exercise, and other prescription weight-loss medication if needed.
