Are you on Ozempic or do you plan to take it or another similar GLP-1 weight loss medication? There are side effects to monitor. Karli sine is an influencer of social media who has lost more than 55 pounds on the semaglutide and is now “Microdosant shooting”, she writes in her Instagram biography. In a new publication on social networks, it reveals one of the main side effects of the drug and what to do to repair it. “Let’s talk about fatigue,” she said.
What’s going on and why?
“Fatigue on GLP-1 can come from a few places. First, you probably eat less calories than before (sometimes without even realizing it) so that your body adapts to this drop in energy consumption. Second exhausting,” said Sine.
Fatigue is temporary
She explains why you experience it. “What is important to remember is that your body adapts and that fatigue is often temporary while it adapts to this new metabolic rhythm,” she said.
How long does fatigue last? “It is the most common in the first 2 to 4 weeks, but may appear again if your dose increases or if you undermain,” she says.
How to alleviate fatigue
Here are his tips to mitigate fatigue:
- Eat small frequent meals !! Even if you are not hungry
- Include healthy proteins and fats to stabilize energy
- Add electrolytes (I love the IV sugar -free liquid, coconut water or unavored salt + lemon water)
- Take out and move. Even light activity increases energy
- Make sure your iron and B12 levels are good (especially if you feel wiped)
Fatigue is normal
“You lose a significant amount of weight (especially quickly) and this can alone trigger fatigue. You also burn in fat stores, change hormones and possibly lose electrolytes, which can all drop your energy,” she said. “Even if you do everything” good “, your body can reach temporary low energy phases because it adapts to this new normal. Think like your recalibrating system, your energy will come back (and even increase!) While your body is installed in its healthier point of instructions.”
