Weight loss often stalls as the body adapts to lower calorie intake by slowing metabolism. A new study from the University of Southern Denmark offers hope, suggesting a possible method to counteract this metabolic adaptation. Principal Investigator Kim Ravnskjaer notes that many people on weight-loss medications like Wegovy experience plateaus after losing a substantial amount of weight. Developing a medication that can maintain calorie burning at higher levels could revolutionize weight loss efforts, allowing individuals to continue losing weight even after reaching typical plateaus.
According to Kim Ravnskjaer, a Principal Investigator at the University of Southern Denmark, the stall in weight loss is due to the body's metabolism adapting to reduced calorie intake.
If it were possible to control metabolic adaptation, it could be a game-changer for anyone trying to lose weight and extend the benefits of current treatments.
The study highlights the potential of developing a medication that could maintain calorie burning, enabling continued weight loss even after traditional methods plateau.
This discovery might transform the approach to weight loss and diabetes management, particularly for those on medications like Wegovy and Ozempic.
