Treatment approaches often include lifestyle modifications in diet and exercise regime used to reduce caloric intake and burn off body fat while gaining lean muscle. Current research is exploring new medication GL1-receptor agonists for weight management and investigating the effectiveness of different treatment strategies.  Studies are also examining the role of the brain in regulating weight in the effectiveness of behavioral interventions.  GLP-1 receptor agonists is a class of drugs that are encouraged in treating obesity by promoting weight loss through various mechanisms.  These medications such as semaglutide and liraglutide are FDA approved for obesity treatment and are known to reduce appetite increasing satiety.  Studies indicate that GLP-1 RAs can lead to significant reductions in BMI, body weight, and waist circumference compared to a placebo.  While generally considered safe GLP-1 RAs can have side effects is is crucial to consult with a health care professional to determine if medications are appropriate for an individual's specific diet and fitness needs are considered for optimal results.
