What results can I expect with semaglutide?
In clinical studies, semaglutide has been shown to promote over 15% body weight reduction on average when used continuously for 68 weeks alongside diet and activity modifications. Over two-thirds of patients lose at least 10% of initial weight. Improvements in related health parameters like blood pressure and lipids also occur for most users.
How long until I start losing weight on semaglutide?
Most patients notice a difference in appetite and eating habits within a few days of their first semaglutide dose. However, the scale may take longer to reflect changes as body water and glycogen stores fluctuate initially. Ongoing body fat reduction becomes evident after about 4 weeks as these stabilize.
Can I exercise while taking semaglutide injections?
Yes, physical activity is encouraged with semaglutide treatment! Getting regular exercise boosts calorie expenditure to augment appetite suppression effects. It also helps sustain fat mass reductions long-term after finishing semaglutide. Share your fitness plans and goals with your Rebalance Clinic provider for guidance on appropriate regimens during weight loss phases.

I have diabetes - can I still use semaglutide?
Yes! Semaglutide was originally developed as an injectable treatment for type 2 diabetes, where it effectively lowers blood sugar levels. Ongoing monitoring of A1c and glucose measures with Rebalance Clinicians ensures treatment safety for diabetes patients. Those with type 1 diabetes can possibly use semaglutide under close medical supervision as well. Discuss your diabetes with your provider.
