Everyone's journey is different. While a majority of participants will experience appetite changes and gradual weight loss over time, recent studies and real world evidence show 5% of participants lose less than 5% which is about 1 in 20.1,2 And 20-30% lost less than 10% in similar trials.1,2 Nevertheless, 5-10% weight loss is still meaningful and can result in significant health improvements. It's important to reach out to your provider when you're unsure if your weight loss over time reflects the best response to treatment. Your provider can make adjustments as needed.
Absolutely.
As your portion sizes decrease, prioritizing nutrient-dense, high-quality foods is essential for maintaining your overall health and wellness.
Medication works best when paired with healthy eating habits, movement, coaching, and regular communication with your care team. Lifestyle changes also improve health beyond weight loss alone.
Need a deeper understanding about nutrition? Start here.
Possibly.
Your provider will monitor your progress and determine whether dose adjustments are appropriate based on your individual response. This will greatly depend on the interplay between side effects, adequate nutrition, and weight loss trajectory.
One of the biggest differences with Onsera is that you don't have to figure everything out yourself.
Your care team—including physicians, registered dietitians, and health coaches—is here to answer questions, celebrate progress, and help you navigate challenges throughout your journey.
Together, we'll build habits that support lasting health—not just weight loss.
