Semaglutide GLP-1

Semaglutide has been shown to aid in weight loss by helping individuals feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings. By improving insulin sensitivity and promoting gradual, sustainable weight loss, Semaglutide can be an effective tool for those looking to manage their weight and overall health.

What Does Semaglutide Do?

Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. Originally developed for managing Type 2 diabetes, it has also been shown to aid in weight loss by helping individuals feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings. By improving insulin sensitivity and promoting gradual, sustainable weight loss, Semaglutide can be an effective tool for those looking to manage their weight and overall health.

How Fast Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide typically starts working within the first few weeks, but noticeable weight loss results often appear after 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use. Many people begin to experience reduced appetite and improved portion control early on, while more significant weight loss generally occurs over several months. For optimal results, it’s recommended to combine Semaglutide with a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

How Long Does Semaglutide Last?

A GLP-1 (Semaglutide) injection typically lasts one week per dose, so it is administered once weekly. The medication stays in your system, continuously regulating blood sugar, slowing digestion, and suppressing appetite over 7 days.

For the best results, it's important to take your injections on the same day each week to maintain consistent levels in your body. If you miss a dose, you usually have up to 5 days to take it before skipping to the next scheduled injection.

How Do I Prepare for my GLP-1 Shot?

Prioritize Protein Before Your Injection

Eating a protein-rich meal before your shot can help stabilize blood sugar and reduce nausea. Good options: Eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lean meats, or a protein smoothie.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support digestion and prevent dehydration. Aim for at least 8–10 glasses of water, especially if you tend to feel nauseous after your injection.

Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine Before Injection

These can increase dehydration and may worsen nausea or dizziness. If you must have caffeine, keep it minimal and pair it with food.

Plan for a light activity

A short walk after your injection can help with digestion and reduce sluggishness. Avoid intense workouts immediately after, especially if you feel lightheaded.
