What are GLP-1 weight-loss injections?

GLP-1 medicines act like a natural hormone that helps you feel satisfied sooner, slows stomach emptying and supports healthier blood-sugar control. Benefits may include reduced appetite, fewer cravings and steady, sustainable weight loss when combined with diet, movement and sleep habits.

Wegovy (semaglutide)

Once-weekly GLP-1 injection
Typical titration: 0.25 mg → 0.5 mg → 1.0 mg → 1.7 mg → 2.4 mg (step up roughly every 4 weeks if tolerated)
In clinical use, patients achieve meaningful weight loss when Wegovy is combined with lifestyle change
Suitable for many adults who prefer a semaglutide-only option

Mounjaro (tirzepatide)

Once-weekly medicine with dual GLP-1 and GIP action
Typical titration: 2.5 mg → 5 mg → 7.5 mg → 10 mg → 12.5 mg → 15 mg (step up roughly every 4 weeks if tolerated)
In studies, many patients saw substantial weight reduction alongside lifestyle change

Eligibility (summary)

You may be suitable if:

BMI ≥ 30, or BMI ≥ 27 with a weight-related condition (e.g., pre-diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia)
You are ready to pair treatment with nutrition, movement and sleep strategies

Not suitable if:

Under 18, pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding
History of certain thyroid cancers (e.g., medullary thyroid carcinoma/MEN2), pancreatitis or severe GI disease
Other clinical reasons identified during consultation

How it works

Consultation: medical history, goals, medication review, eligibility
Start plan: agree medicine and dose, training on pen use, lifestyle plan
Follow-up: dose adjustments every ~4 weeks if tolerated, side-effect support
Track results: weight, waist, wellbeing; adjust plan to keep momentum

What to expect

Gradual weight loss is typical; appetite and cravings often fall within weeks
Best results come with enough protein, fibre, hydration, strength work and sleep
Some patients notice steadier energy and improved dietary control

Possible side-effects (usually mild and settle): nausea, bloating, reflux/heartburn, constipation or diarrhoea, fatigue.
Red flags: severe or persistent abdominal pain, signs of gallbladder or pancreatic issues, allergic reaction. Seek medical help urgently if these occur.

Smart supplements that support GLP-1 treatment

These do not replace medication, nutrition or training. They can help you feel better, preserve muscle and support long-term health while appetite is lower. Always discuss supplements with your clinician, especially if you take prescription medicines.

Creatine monohydrate

Why: helps maintain/boost strength and lean muscle during a calorie deficit; supports training quality and weight-loss maintenance.
Dose: 3–5 g daily; loading optional.
How: any time; drink enough water.
Notes: avoid or seek advice if you have significant kidney disease.

Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)

Why: supports heart and metabolic health; lowers triglycerides; may reduce low-grade inflammation.
Dose: 1–2 g combined EPA+DHA daily (check label).
How: with meals; split if you get reflux.
Notes: caution with anticoagulants or bleeding disorders.

Vitamin D3

Why: bone, immune and general wellbeing; correcting deficiency can improve how you feel during weight loss.
Dose: typically 1000–2000 IU daily; tailor to blood level (25-OH vitamin D).
How: with food, preferably containing some fat.
Notes: avoid high doses unless monitored.

Vitamin K2 (MK-7)

Why: works with vitamin D to direct calcium to bones and away from arteries.
Dose: 90–120 mcg daily.
Notes: do not use with warfarin unless your prescriber agrees.

Collagen powder

Why: supports skin, joints and satiety; easy protein top-up when appetite is reduced.
Dose: 10–20 g daily.
How: mix into yoghurt, smoothies or coffee.
Notes: collagen is an incomplete protein. Pair with complete protein sources (e.g., dairy/whey, pea blends, eggs, lean meats) to hit daily protein targets. It does not directly increase fat loss.

GLP-1-specific tips

Take fat-soluble vitamins (D, K2) with food.
If nausea occurs, take supplements at a different time of day from your injection and start with lower doses.
Keep protein intake high (aim 1.6–2.2 g/kg/day across meals) to preserve lean mass.

Switching from Mounjaro to Wegovy (short guide)

No overlap: take your last Mounjaro dose, then wait 7 days.
Start Wegovy low: most begin 0.25 mg once weekly, then escalate about every 4 weeks if tolerated (0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg).
If you were on higher Mounjaro doses, your clinician may start you at 0.5–1.0 mg Wegovy.
Side effects can include nausea, reflux, constipation/diarrhoea, headache and fatigue; usually settle with time. Pause at your current dose or step down if needed.
Red flags: severe persistent abdominal pain, ongoing vomiting, signs of gallbladder/pancreas problems, or allergic reaction. Seek urgent help.

Typical dose mapping at switch (maximum starting points)
Current Mounjaro → Start Wegovy (max)
2.5 mg → 0.25 mg
5 mg → 0.5 mg
7.5 mg → 0.5 mg
10 mg → 1 mg
12.5 mg → 1 mg
15 mg → 1 mg

Example: last Mounjaro on Monday → skip the next dose → start Wegovy the following Monday.
