With the aim of losing 10kg within two weeks, they limit daily calories to less than 1,000 calories and completely exclude carbohydrates, or take pentamine-based drugs or unproven non-prescription diet pills that lose weight in the short term.
These short-term diets have the advantage of fast weight loss, but in reality, the majority of them are 'false diets' where they feel that they have temporarily lost weight due to the loss of water or muscles in the body. In particular, reduced muscle mass reduces basic metabolism, resulting in a yo-yo phenomenon in which fat is easily stored in the body even if the same amount is consumed. In addition, when essential nutrients such as protein, iron, and zinc are insufficient due to incorrect dietary restrictions, protein metabolism and hormonal balance collapse, resulting in side effects such as hair loss, menstrual irregularities, and decreased immunity.
Short-term diet drugs also require caution. Drugs that act on the appetite center of the brain and drugs that promote metabolism can cause insomnia and palpitations, and have a high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Professor Um Yoon-hee of the Obesity Metabolism Center at Gangdong Sacred Heart Hospital said "Short-term obesity treatment is usually recommended for short-term use within 4-12 weeks due to side effects and resistance problems, and long-term use is prohibited."It is effective to plan for a healthy diet for at least a year and approach it from a long-term perspective" he stressed.
Recently, drugs that have been proven to be stable as long-term obesity treatments are widely used. Examples include GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) analogs such as Hugo Bee and complex oral drugs such as QSIMIA and Contrav. GLP-1 analogs inhibit appetite and delay the rate of gastric emptying of food, leading to prolonged satiety.
As a result, the amount of food naturally decreases, allowing weight loss and positively affecting blood sugar control and metabolic health improvement. In fact, the average weight loss of patients who took Hugo Bee for more than 68 weeks was about 15%, the highest effect among existing obesity treatments.
Professor Eom Yoon-hee said, `Wigobee is effective if obese patients with underlying diseases such as high obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes take it for a long time,' adding, `It is suitable for a healthy diet because it improves cardiovascular levels such as blood sugar and blood pressure along with weight loss.'
It is also important to improve lifestyle in long-term obesity treatment. It is effective to have a nutritious diet and regular exercise along with medication. In particular, after the regimen of stomach meat, the amount of nutrients consumed may be reduced, so you should eat food containing protein and vitamins evenly at every meal. In addition, it is recommended to do muscle exercise twice a week to reduce basic metabolism.
