Zheng, W., Pan, H., Wei, L., Gao, F

Typically, patients of our weight loss program in Los Angeles, California who start FDA-approved GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy lose an average 15% of their weight when combined with diet and exercise

Semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) has shown robust weight loss in primary obesity trials, with mean weight reductions of 14.9% in the STEP 1 trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2021)

Adequate protein supports muscle mass, maintains metabolic rate, aids recovery, and promotes overall health during weight loss

In this study we evaluated heterogeneity in body weight and glycaemic responses to the initiation of liraglutide, semaglutide or dulaglutide in real-world clinical practice
