How does semaglutide promote weight loss?
Curbing appetite and cravings
Semaglutide promotes weight loss primarily by curbing appetite and reducing cravings. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it binds to specific receptors in the brain that regulate hunger and satiety. This activation enhances feelings of fullness and satisfaction after meals, leading to reduced caloric intake. By dampening the drive to eat, semaglutide helps patients make healthier food choices and control their portion sizes, contributing to sustainable weight loss.
Slowing gastric emptying
In addition to appetite suppression, semaglutide slows gastric emptying, which refers to the rate at which food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. By delaying gastric emptying, semaglutide prolongs the feeling of fullness after eating, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. This helps control hunger and improves glycemic control by ensuring a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream. The combination of appetite regulation and slower gastric emptying supports sustainable weight loss.
