5 Ways to Jumpstart Your New Year's Weight Loss with Semaglutide

Losing weight is always one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions. Unfortunately, research shows that only 9% of Americans keep any resolution. 

This year, you can improve your chances of being one of the few who stick to their goal of eating healthy, exercising, and shedding excess pounds. At Female Health Associates of North Texas in Fort Worth, Texas, our experts can help you jumpstart your weight loss with the help of semaglutide or tirzepatide. 

Semaglutide is the ingredient used in the popular brand-name weight loss drugs Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Tirzepatide is the ingredient used in Mounjaro and Zepbound. At Female Health Associates, we partner with a pharmacy to compound personalized doses of nonbranded semaglutide specifically for our patients to use in our effective weight loss program.

Here are five ways to jumpstart your New Year’s weight loss resolution and keep the pounds off for many New Year celebrations to come.

Start with a small dose of semaglutide to minimize side effects

At Female Health Associates of North Texas, we initiate our weight loss clients on a lower compounded dose of o semalutide or tirzepatide. 

Eat a healthy diet

Semaglutide and tirzepatide work by mimicking a hormone in the brain that promotes a feeling of fullness for longer. As a result, you eat less. However, semaglutide won’t work if you continue to eat high-sugar and high-fat foods, even if you eat less of them. It’s vital that you follow a healthy eating plan that includes a lot of vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Exercise regularly

Eating healthy and exercising regularly go hand in hand when it comes to weight loss. Although exercise isn’t mandatory in our program, it’s highly encouraged – and it will make you feel better and accelerate your weight loss. If you don’t exercise normally, start with walking. 

Reduce stress

Too much stress can negatively impact your life in numerous ways, one of them being interference with weight loss. Stress can affect your sleep and push you to turn to unhealthy food for comfort. 

Practice yoga, deep breathing exercises, or meditation to help reduce stress and prevent weight loss interference.

Follow the program

We gradually increase the dose of semaglutide until we find what’s effective for you. You should expect to lose 1-3 pounds a week. Gradual weight loss is the most effective type of weight loss, and following our program, generally for 12 months, will help you achieve the results you want.
