Key Takeaways GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs)including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)cause weight loss primarily by suppressing appetite, which can lead to a caloric deficit deep enough to trigger lean body mass (LBM) loss alongside fat loss
If you are stopping Wegovy due to inadequate weight loss response, your GP may wish to review your overall weight management strategy, including dietary patterns, physical activity levels, and potential barriers to success
However, this amount of weight loss is not typical for everyone, and much of the early change may be related to water weight and reduced inflammation rather than body fat alone
Following the correct steps for timing and frequency is key to ensuring the treatment is both safe and effective for you
