Weight loss injections have rapidly become a popular and effective tool for individuals looking to lose weight when combined with lifestyle changes. Whether you're using GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide (often known by brand names such as Ozempic or Wegovy) or similar treatments, it’s essential to understand how to support your body post-treatment to maintain results and safeguard your health.
At Kat & Co, we’re here to guide you not only through the treatment itself but also in the vital aftercare phase following weight loss injection therapy.
Weight loss injections typically work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and glucose levels. They help reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and improve metabolic function. When used under medical supervision and alongside a structured nutrition and lifestyle plan, they can be a powerful weight management tool.
Following treatment, your body is adapting to changes in appetite, digestion, and nutrient needs. To maintain a healthy and sustainable weight loss journey, consider these essential nutrition tips post weight loss injection:
Protein supports lean muscle mass, promotes satiety, and helps regulate metabolism. Include lean meats, fish, tofu, eggs, and legumes in every meal.
Weight loss injections may affect hydration levels. Aim for 2-3 litres of water per day to support digestion, energy, and skin health.
With reduced appetite, eating smaller meals more frequently helps maintain energy and nutrient intake without overwhelming the digestive system.
Avoid high-sugar, high-fat processed foods that can spike blood sugar and counteract the metabolic benefits of the injection.
Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels, especially important while on or after GLP-1 therapy.
It's important to have realistic expectations and understand what your body may go through post-treatment:
Once the treatment ends or dosage reduces, weight may plateau. This is normal — maintenance is a critical phase. Continue healthy habits for long-term results.
Weight loss injections often slow gastric emptying, so expect a feeling of fullness for longer after meals. Listen to your body and eat mindfully.
As appetite-regulating hormones rebalance, cravings may return. Staying consistent with your nutrition and exercise plan is key to preventing rebound weight gain.
Regular check-ins with your clinician will help track blood pressure, glucose levels, and BMI. Kat & Co provides comprehensive aftercare and support to guide you through every phase.
