Weight loss is not only about the number on the scale

What health metrics should I monitor while using GLP-1 therapy
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are medications that can play a significant role in supporting sustainable fat loss and improving overall metabolic health
The medication reduces appetite, but if you continue eating calorie-dense, processed foods in smaller amounts, weight loss will be slower than if you shift toward protein-rich, nutrient-dense options
It also slows down how quickly your stomach empties, which means you stay fuller for longer and your body makes better use of the food you've already eaten, reducing the need for frequent meals or snacks
