Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, February 15, 2023 12:00 PM The United States and much of the industrialized world has an obesity problem. The environment is obesogenic. The food is delicious and engineered by PhDs to target and titillate our brain reward systems. The portions are enormous. Half of our waking hours are devoted to sitting slumped over in a chair staring into an electronic device—for work and for pleasure. We eat carbs we don't need, use seed oils in quantities our bodies haven't adapted to handling, and largely avoid the most important food our ancestors evolved consuming: animal protein. The cheapest food is the worst and the healthiest is the most expensive. It's a big mess, and many people resist the dietary and lifestyle changes required to fix the issue. It's no wonder many people have been hoping for a pill or medication that fixes the obesity problem. Over the last few years, scientists appear to have found a class of medications that can help: GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide (sold as Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and liraglutide (aka Victoza® and Saxenda®). Hollywood celebrities and fashion models are taking these drugs in vast quantities. Silicon Valley tech circles are taking them—Elon Musk, most famously, is on semaglutide. In short, almost everyone with the money and access and weight to lose is using semaglutide and related drugs to stay thin. I know several docs who prescribe it for overweight patients. Originally designed as diabetes drugs, these agents mimic the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1, an incretin hormone the body releases when you eat food. GLP-1 has two primary effects: It stimulates the release of insulin and inhibits the release of glucagon. It slows down gastric motility and the passage of food through the gut, keeping you full for longer. GLP-1 is a hormone that "signals" fullness. There are all sorts of positive downstream effects as well: Lower glucose production More glucose uptake by muscles Increased insulin sensitivity Lower blood pressure Improved endothelial function The new weight loss drugs bind to the receptors that normally interact with GLP-1 and elicit the same effect as the hormone itself. Do the obesity drugs work for losing weight? Yes. They work. Out of all the weight loss drugs the industry has pushed and tested and tried, the GLP-1 agonists actually help people lose weight. A recent paper tested semaglutide for two years in obese people. The average starting body weight was 106 kilos, or 233 pounds. Average starting BMI was 38. Most were women. One group got the drug, the other got placebo. Both groups were counseled to follow a "behavioral intervention," which probably means exercise and other typical things. By 104 weeks, the semaglutide group had lost an average of 15.2 percent of their bodyweight. The placebo group had lost an average of 2.6 percent. Now, this didn't make them thin. At the end, most were still overweight or obese. 15 percent of 233 pounds is about 35 pounds. That's a great improvement, but it's not enough to get you to a normal body weight. Furthermore, … Continue reading "All About the New Weight Loss Drugs" The post All About the New Weight Loss Drugs appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
