If you’ve tried dieting, exercising, and “being consistent” but your weight won’t budge, the issue probably isn’t your effort. For many people, hormones and a sluggish metabolism are working against them. This makes weight loss far more difficult than it should be.
If you’re struggling to lose weight, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. Our team of primary care providers at Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss uses weight-loss injections to address underlying biological barriers as part of a comprehensive medical weight-loss program.
Read on to learn more about weight loss injections and the five ways they can benefit you.
GIP and GLP-1 medications were originally designed to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved many of these injections for weight management. They can help:
They’re typically given once a week, and many people stay on treatment for several months to support steady, sustainable weight loss under medical supervision.
Weight loss injections can:
The medicines in weight loss injections mimic natural hormones that help control blood sugar and trigger satiety signals. This combination can help you feel satisfied sooner and stay full longer. This makes it easier to eat less and lose weight gradually (and safely!) under medical supervision.
The result? You’re more likely to feel satisfied with smaller portions without feeling deprived.
Some people even find that weight loss injections curb cravings for alcohol, too. This can help cut out empty calories from alcoholic beverages. A white Russian, for example, adds over 500 calories to your night out.
Weight loss injections do more than curb appetite. They also help your body respond to insulin more effectively.
This can lead to steadier blood sugar levels, improved metabolic function, and better support for people struggling with insulin resistance.
When you improve how your body handles blood sugar, you lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
If the scale hasn’t moved despite your best efforts, injections can help reset your system. Many people see steady, sustainable weight loss after months or years of frustration. In fact, weight loss injections are more effective than oral medications.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, people who use weight loss injections typically lose an average of 15% of their starting body weight. Compare this to people who take oral weight loss medication, who see about a 5-10% weight loss.
Weight loss injections are a tool. When hunger and cravings are under control, it’s easier to stick with healthier eating habits, move more consistently, and build routines that last.
At Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss, our team prescribed weight loss injections as part of a comprehensive plan. We monitor your progress, adjust dosing as needed, and support you every step of the way, so weight loss is safe and sustainable.
You don’t have to figure out exercise and nutrition on your own. We help you get started with weight loss injections and make sure you also have an exercise and nutrition plan in place. That way, your body still gets the nutrients it needs, which is especially important when you’re eating less.
Weight loss injections may be an option if you’ve struggled with stubborn weight despite lifestyle changes or suspect hormonal imbalances are involved. During your medical evaluation here in Tallahassee, Florida, our team can check your hormone balances, review your health history, and determine the safest and most effective approach for your body.
