How does low dose Semaglutide work?

​Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) works by activating GLP-1 receptors only. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite by making you feel full longer and reduces hunger by slowing down how quickly food leaves your stomach. This helps you eat less and lose weight over time. Most patients lose on average 12 - 15% body weight combined with dietary and daily physical activity.

The graph shows the standard dosing schedule for Semaglutide.

A "titration schedule" helps manage potential side effects by allowing your body to gradually adjust to the medication. This means adjusting the dosage to achieve the best therapeutic effect by gradually increasing the dose weekly over the course of 5 months. 

Physical activity recommendations

Gradual progression

Incorporate lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, tofu, beans, lentils, and Greek yogurt into your meals. These proteins help you feel full, regulate blood sugar levels, and support muscle health. Lean protein shakes count toward your overall recommended daily calories from protein at about 10 - 35%.

Strength training

Incorporate muscle-strengthening exercises at least twice a week. These activities are crucial in countering the loss of lean mass often observed with anti-obesity medications and in enhancing muscle strength for daily activities. Functional strength training is beneficial across the lifespan and reduces the risk of muscle mass loss and maintaining physical function.

Balance training

Engage in balance exercises, particularly beneficial for older adults, to improve stability and prevent falls. Even younger individuals will benefit from enhanced kinesthetic awareness and safer mobility during weight loss.

Important considerations

We advise against exercising to the point of exhaustion and highlight the importance of staying hydrated. Our provider will provide personalized guidance on improving your physical activity, while also offering guidance for those with multiple chronic conditions or other specific health concerns.

Including these elements in your routine will not only support your weight loss efforts but also enhance your overall physical health and quality of life. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Dietary and nutritional recommedations

At Nudge Fit, we believe in a holistic approach to health, backed by evidence-based nutrition strategies to support your weight loss journey. 

Lean proteins

Incorporate lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, tofu, beans, lentils, and Greek yogurt into your meals. These proteins help you feel full, regulate blood sugar levels, and support muscle health. Lean protein shakes count toward your overall recommended daily calories from protein at about 10 - 35%.

Whole foods

Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, whole grains, fruits, and healthy fats. These nutrient-dense options provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Aim to eat smaller, more frequent meals and never skip breakfast, which is vital for jumpstarting your metabolism.

Daily fiber

Consuming 25-35 grams of fiber daily is crucial, especially for those on GLP-1/GIP medications, which can cause constipation. Foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, can help alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort and promote regularity.

Hydration

Staying hydrated is essential, particularly when taking GLP-1/GIP medications.

Drink at least 60 - 80 ounces of water daily to help manage constipation and support overall health.
