Every weight loss journey is different – some women find they lose several kilos in the first few weeks of treatment. To give you an idea of what you can expect: 1/4 of patients lose more than 10% of their body weight after 5 months: In a 2017 study, at 20 weeks, 76.1% of participants had lost more than 5% of body weight, and 28.3% had lost more than 10%. After a year, the average patient lost 12.1%: In a 2020 study from the International Journal of Obesity, patients lost 12.1% of their body weight in 52 weeks using this class of medications, combined with behavioural changes (nearly twice as much versus behavioural changes alone).
