This binding triggers several important physiological responses: enhanced insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated blood glucose, suppression of glucagon release (which normally raises blood sugar), delayed gastric emptying (slowing food passage from stomach to intestine), and increased satiety through effects on appetite centres in the brain
Heres what our registered dietitian Katie Hoehn had to say about GLP-1s and diet: Since GLP-1 medications delay gastric emptying and reduce appetite, they often lead to lower overall calorie intake, which can put individuals at risk for nutrient deficiencies
If you experience diarrhea or vomiting, increasing fluids becomes even more important

When people stop semaglutide, they typically regain much of the lost weight within 6 to 12 months, making long-term treatment often necessary
