GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide offer significant benefits for weight loss in addition to their primary role in managing type 2 diabetes. By acting on the brain's appetite control centers, GLP-1 drugs can help individuals feel fuller for longer periods, leading to reduced calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. These medications also slow down the emptying of the stomach, which contributes to increased feelings of satiety and reduced food cravings. Moreover, GLP-1 drugs have been shown to promote the loss of visceral fat, the type of fat associated with increased risk of metabolic diseases. As a result, many individuals experience clinically meaningful weight loss when using GLP-1 drugs, making them a valuable option for those with obesity or those struggling to manage their weight alongside type 2 diabetes.
