Secrets to Sustainable Weight Loss
Wednesday, November 6, 2024 - 10:00am to 11:30am
Weight loss involves more than just dieting or calorie reduction. Understanding our body's functions and supporting them is crucial for sustainable weight loss. To achieve sustainable weight loss, it's crucial to understand metabolism, food impact, and lifestyle factors for a holistic and balanced approach.
New medications, such as GLP-1 peptides, show promising results in aiding weight loss by enhancing metabolic health. These peptides work by mimicking the body's natural hormones that regulate appetite and insulin response, leading to improved blood sugar control and reduced hunger. Additionally, fasting mimicking diets gain popularity as they provide the benefits of fasting without the need for drastic caloric restriction. These diets can help reset metabolism, promote cellular repair, and support weight loss.
However, medication and specialized diets are only part of the equation. Lifestyle factors such as adequate sleep, balanced food choices, regular exercise, and a supportive environment are fundamental to effective weight management. By addressing all these aspects, individuals create a comprehensive and sustainable approach to weight management.
