As with any medications the effect of GLP-1 medication will vary from patient to patient. Your response to GLP-1 may not match the timing below. This chart is meant to give a general idea of what to expect.
| Month | Semaglutide Timeline |
|---|---|
| ONE | As you adjust to the medication, you may experience side effects like nausea while noticing a reduced appetite and modest weight loss. |
| TWO | Weight loss becomes more noticeable, side effects diminish, and portion control improves as appetite suppression continues. |
| THREE | Steady weight loss, improved energy levels, and enhanced metabolic benefits like better blood sugar regulation become apparent. |
| FOUR | Weight loss may slow or plateau, but healthier eating habits and increased physical activity are more ingrained by this stage. |
| FIVE | Weight loss continues, along with noticeable health improvements like better blood pressure and cholesterol, and fewer food cravings. |
| SIX | By this time, sustained weight loss is achieved, with long-term lifestyle changes solidified and improved confidence due to progress. |
