Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 23-year-old male struggling with being overweight. Despite dietary changes and exercising, I have not seen any progress in losing weight. My doctor prescribed Tirzepatide, but I am still finding it challenging. Could you please offer me advice or additional strategies to help me effectively lose weight? I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this journey towards better health.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.
You are using Trizepetide injection, a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) receptor agonist that stimulates insulin secretion and increases metabolism, leading to weight loss. It will take time to see results. Intermittent fasting means that you do not eat for a period of time each day or week. Some popular approaches to intermittent fasting include:
Some studies suggest that alternate-day fasting is about as effective as a typical low-calorie diet for weight loss. That seems reasonable because reducing the number of calories you eat should help you lose weight. Some research suggests that intermittent fasting may be more beneficial than other diets for reducing inflammation and improving conditions associated with inflammation, such as: You can start with the tablet Metformin 250 mg twice a day; it has also been proven for weight loss with benefits. Consult a specialist doctor, and take these medications with their consent.
I hope I have answered your question.
Thank you.
