However, emerging research and clinical experience point towards a pattern that looks very similar to a Mediterranean style way of eating: Mostly whole, minimally processed foods Lots of vegetables and some whole fruits High fibre whole grains and legumes Regular intake of healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, seeds and oily fish Adequate lean protein at each meal Within this framework, your diet should be tailored to your preferences, medical needs and any other health conditions
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone your body already makes to regulate blood sugar and appetite
These medications act as a "biological bridge" in three key ways: first, they stimulate the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin
The glucagon component adds three distinct mechanisms: increased hepatic energy expenditure and thermogenesis (increasing resting metabolic rate by an estimated 100-200 kcal/day), enhanced hepatic fatty acid beta-oxidation (directly reducing liver fat), and lipolysis in both hepatic and adipose tissue
