'Starting point, not a cure' "Greater weight loss tends to result in faster weight regain," lead study author Sam West of Oxford University explained

Research on GLP-1 receptor agonists suggests that some individuals may experience meaningful reductions in body weight over time

Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate our appetite and metabolism, among other functions (some drugs like tirzepatide mimic both GLP-1 and other related hormones)

This happens because your body is burning fewer calories than it did at a higher weight, and if protein intake has dropped, muscle loss accelerates the metabolic decline
