GLP-1s vs. traditional dieting: whatâs the difference? đ
Traditional dieting relies primarily on changes to nutrition, activity, and behavior to create a calorie deficit. GLP-1 medications work differentlyâthey act on biological pathways involved in appetite, fullness, and blood-sugar regulation, which can help eligible patients eat less and manage weight when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
GLP-1s arenât a replacement for nutrition, movement, strength training, or sustainable habits. Theyâre prescription medications that may be one part of a comprehensive weight-management plan for appropriate patients.
