The GLP-1 diet is a diet method that utilizes a hormone called GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1). GLP-1 is a hormone secreted from the intestine that suppresses the rise in blood sugar levels after meals and promotes a feeling of fullness.
This diet uses drugs that mimic GLP-1 to suppress appetite and prevent overeating. GLP-1 also helps control postprandial blood sugar levels and is expected to reduce body fat.
The advantage of the GLP-1 diet is that you don't need willpower to control your appetite. It is also effective in the prevention and management of diabetes as it prevents rapid rises in blood sugar levels. In addition, considering the health effects of weight loss, it may reduce the risks associated with obesity.
However, the GLP-1 diet also has side effects and caveats. Since nausea and diarrhea may occur as side effects of the drug, it is necessary to use it appropriately according to the individual constitution and condition. It is also important to consider not only the GLP-1 diet, but also a balanced diet and moderate exercise as important factors.
The GLP-1 diet should be considered as an option, but it is important to choose a diet method that prioritizes health. It is ideal to find an effective diet method based on personal health conditions and doctor's advice.
