Welcome our clinic's blog, where we are summarizing an article from The Focus discussing an important topic - and as always the full article is linked at the end.
Today, we’re discussing a topic that’s been stirring up conversations: the use of medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss. Let’s set the record straight—using these medications is not cheating; it’s a strategic step towards better health. But if you listen to rando's on TikTok you hear people being shamed, or called cheaters for taking Semaglutide/Tirzepatide.
Understanding Weight Loss Medications
Weight loss is a complex process. For some, traditional methods like diet and exercise may not yield the desired results. That’s where medications like Semaglutide come into play. These drugs are designed to assist those who need an extra push to overcome obesity-related health risks.
The Science Behind the Success
Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. It’s not a magic pill but a tool that, when combined with lifestyle changes, can lead to significant weight loss and improved health outcomes.
Why It’s Not Cheating
Dr. Karan Rajan, a respected surgeon and lecturer, emphasizes that weight loss achieved through any means is not cheating. It’s about finding what works for you. Just as statins are prescribed for high cholesterol or medication for high blood pressure, weight loss drugs are prescribed for those struggling with obesity.
The Real Cheat: The Food Industry
Dr. Rajan points out that the real issue lies with the food industry and policies that promote unhealthy eating habits2. It’s time to shift the blame from individuals to the larger systemic issues at play.
