Gaining Weight While Dieting?
If dieting alone hasn't worked, you're not doing it wrong — your body defends a 'set point.'
The set point
When you lose weight, hunger hormones rise and metabolism adapts to push weight back up. This biology is why restriction alone so often fails.
How treatment helps
GLP-1 medications work with this biology by reducing appetite signals, making a healthier weight easier to reach and maintain alongside lifestyle changes.
