TIRZEPATIDE FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Tirzepatide, commonly known as Mounjaro, is prescribed for people with Type 2 diabetes and recently received FDA approval for weight loss in people with obesity. This medication has been shown to reduce hunger, suppress appetite, improve insulin levels, control blood glucose levels and improve cardio metabolic profile. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, with a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. These hormones are naturally released when we eat. With Tirzepatide injections, these effects are mimicked, slowing down your digestion , slowing down the rate at which food leaves the stomach and causing you to feel full faster and longer.

Tirzepatide will be most effective when combined with diet and exercise, but these are not required to see results.

Studies performed by Eli Lilly, Tirzepatide’s manufacturer, have shown that the medication can help reduce body weight by 20% or more. The SURMOUNT-3 trial showed an average weight loss of 26.6%, and the SURMOUNT-4 trial showed an average loss of 26.0%. 

The following candidates might be eligible for Tirzepatide injections:

-BMI of of 30 or higher, considered obese or overweight

-BMI of 27 or higher with weight related medical conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure

*Several conditions might exclude you from being a candidate for Tirzepatide injections, our doctor will discuss this with you during your initial consultation.

Dosage

Tirzepatide is typically started on a 2.5 milligram dose. Depending on how you react to the medication, our doctor can gradually increase the dosage after 4 weeks.

How To Get Started

Schedule a consultation with our doctor to see if you are eligible for Tirzepatide injections.

During the consultation, your complete medical history and weight loss goals will be discussed and evaluated. You will be required to complete some lab work, which will be reviewed by our doctor to determine if you are eligible to begin the medication.

HCG PROGRAM

If you’re trying to lose weight in 2023, our six week medical weight loss program can help you. At Beautiful Orlando Medical Spa in Kissimmee, Florida. Dr. Anita Sabharwal can help you lose weight with weight loss injections and a strict, short-term diet to help you achieve safe, long-term weight loss. 

This program will be monitored by our physician in order to make sure that you are reacting well to the injections, and that everything is going smoothly.

Are Weight Loss Injections Safe?

When injected to aid in weight loss, these injections signal the hypothalamus to begin releasing and burning the body’s stored fat deposits. These deposits, which your body saves to store energy, can develop as pockets of fat anywhere on your body. They may create lumps or rolls and can impact your health, activity levels, and self-esteem.

These injections are safe to use to reduce or eliminate these fat deposits and, when combined with a special, 500-calorie diet, these injections can cause faster, more effective weight loss in 6 weeks or less. This process is always closely overseen by our physician Dr. Anita Sabharwal.

How Does the Combination of Injections and Diet Cause Weight Loss?

On their own, these injections can cause some fat-burning and minimal weight loss over time. However, to reap the full benefits of this treatment–including re-balancing your metabolism and achieving maximum fat-burning–we combine injections with a 500-calorie diet. This diet supplies your body with the minimum required nutrition during treatment, causing your body to burn more fat and lose more weight. These injections signal the brain to only target nonessential fat, which means that fat that is vital for your muscles, blood vessels, and organs will not be burned.

Since your body is burning fat for energy, your appetite will be smaller than normal, making it easier to maintain the strict diet we prescribe. While this diet is not safe for long-term use, it is able to safely reset your metabolic functions with short-term use. It will cause your body to shed up to 1-2 pounds each day and successfully reduce your weight in a short amount of time. Once your final results are visible, you can plan to maintain or enhance your ideal image with a long-term, sustainable diet and regular exercise.

What Are the Advantages of Treatment?

This treatment offers one of the fastest, most effective weight loss options available today. In as little as 6 weeks, you could lose a significant amount of weight, see your body completely transformed, and reset your metabolism to better regulate your normal appetite. Unlike fad diets, which often see patients regain weight almost immediately, patients on this diet are far more likely to successfully maintain their results in the long run.

In addition, the entire treatment process is closely monitored by Dr. Anita Sabharwal to ensure your safety. This physician assisted program will allow you to feel safe and guided throughout the length of the program.

You will be given 21 injections, which are typically administered daily, and have no side effects for most patients. Once the treatment process begins, our patients lose a minimum of .5 pounds and a maximum of 2 pounds each day on average.

Are these injections safe for everyone? In general, yes–most patients without significant dietary restrictions or medical conditions can pursue this treatment safely and see excellent, long-lasting results. Our doctors can help you decide whether this treatment is right for you, but it is certainly one of the fastest ways to safely transform your body. We also have every patient do bloodwork prior to starting the diet to ensure your safety.

What Kind of Diet Is Involved?

In order to cause rapid weight loss, we combine these shots with a 500-calorie diet. This diet, which consists of 3 meals per day, requires you to avoid sugar, butter, and oils, among other foods. Each meal includes one protein, one vegetable, one fruit, and one piece of bread, portioned to meet the 500-calorie limit. You are allowed to drink unlimited water during this diet, and we recommend that you drink 1 glass of water every 2-3 hours to keep your body hydrated and help you feel full between meals.

You are also permitted to drink unlimited coffee and tea during this treatment. Some patients find that drinking caffeinated coffee or tea with a severely restricted diet causes them to become anxious or hyperactive. In this case, we recommend limiting your caffeine intake or drinking caffeinated beverages only after meals. Decaffeinated coffee and tea are also options. In general, our patients find that the fat-burning process triggered by these injections helps them feel fuller and more satisfied throughout the day, making it easier to maintain this diet.

How Long Will My Treatment Take?

One of the biggest questions we get from patients considering this treatment is: are these injections safe for long-term weight loss use? The short answer is no–this treatment plan is intentionally limited due to its intensive nature. It is not healthy for the body to maintain this fat-burning state and exist on a 500-calorie diet for a long period of time.

Are There Any Side Effects?

For most patients, this treatment involves no major side effects. The most commonly reported side effect is feelings of hunger, but these are typically suppressed by the energy produced by the body’s fat-burning processes. We also recommend drinking plenty of liquids to help you feel full between your meals. We also recommend that you change your normal exercise routine to include low-impact exercises such as yoga or walking. These exercises will help you stay active while you experience lower energy levels during your treatment.

Will My Results Be Permanent?

Once your treatment is complete, the long-term maintenance of your final results is largely up to you. This treatment and accompanying diet require you to show your commitment to losing weight, but after you have lost weight, you must remain committed to maintaining your new body. The treatment process is divided into 3 stages, and we work with you to help your body safely transition back into a normal diet. We recommend that your “new normal” include a balanced, nutritious diet and a regular exercise regiment at least 5 days per week.

By following a long-term, sustainable diet, you can continue to improve your body’s overall health and avoid gaining weight back after treatment. In addition, exercising regularly can lead to further weight loss and allows you to tone and sculpt your body to better match your ideal image. Finally, this treatment should ideally be the launchpad for a better, healthier life. Making permanent changes to your lifestyle can make the results of this treatment permanent while also improving your health, wellness, and quality of life for years to come.

B12 INJECTIONS

Our Orlando practice offers patients an additional way to help boost their metabolism, improve energy levels, and help reach their weight loss goals. B12 is an essential nutrient that helps to maintain optimal function of the circulatory system. When given as an injection, B12 helps with sleep, regulates and improves metabolic function, and can often counteract depressive mentalities. All of these assist in the overall weight loss process. Patients should adhere to their diet and exercise routines per normal as they inch their way to losing inches. B12 injections are another option to help get you there faster.

LIPOTROPIC INJECTIONS

A step further from a simple B12 injection is a lipotropic injection, also known as the “lipo shot.” During the weight loss process, it is common to lose essential vitamins and minerals, many of which actually aid in the weight loss process to help burn off unwanted pounds. Lipotropic injections contain a solution of lipotropic-related nutrients that are made up of one or more of the following common fat burning compounds: vitamin B12, L-carnitine, B-complex vitamins, inositol, and choline. Each of these components play a role in weight loss as they serve as fat burners and energy boosters, while removing unwanted toxins from the body. A lipotropic injection will work best with patients who are on a strict, consistent diet and workout program. These injections are administered in our office weekly, and we recommend a minimum of 6 injections to see the best results.

More options are available, depending on your needs. Prescriptions might be given if you meet certain criteria. Give us a call to schedule a consult with our doctor.
