Modern medical treatment of overweight and obesity with GIP and GLP-1 analogues – What happens in your body
Obesity is now one of the world’s greatest public health challenges. According to the WHO, more than 1 billion people worldwide have obesity, including over 650 million adults and 340 million children and adolescents. The prevalence has more than tripled since 1975 and continues to rise in almost every part of the world.
Having severe overweight or obesity is not only about body weight but about health. A high proportion of body fat increases the risk of many different diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis and certain types of cancer (1).
Exercise and diet for weight loss – a guide to healthy weight reduction
Losing weight in a healthy and sustainable way is not about quick fixes or extreme methods, but about making changes to your diet, exercise, and lifestyle that you can maintain over time.
In this article, we discuss how diet and physical activity work together, and how small changes in your daily routine can contribute to better long-term health.
How stress affects weight – why losing weight can be more difficult
Stress and weight loss are often connected. During prolonged stress, the body is affected by hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which can influence how the body uses energy, our appetite, and our eating habits. This can cause some people to lose weight, while others find it harder to lose weight – or even gain weight (1).
Lose weight with rehydration solution? Here’s why that’s a misconception
It’s easy to be tempted by simple solutions that promise quick results when you want to lose weight. Sometimes, tips circulate claiming that you can lose weight by drinking large amounts of rehydration solution. This idea is based on a misunderstanding of how the body’s fluid balance works.
Rehydration solution is designed to replace fluids and salts, for example during diarrhoea, vomiting, or heavy sweating – not for weight loss. It may temporarily affect your weight by restoring your fluid balance, but there is no scientific evidence that rehydration solution or similar products lead to long-term weight loss.
The best diet to lose weight quickly – how to do it in a healthy way
When the goal is to lose weight quickly, it’s easy to get caught up in headlines and new trends. However, research consistently points in the same direction: the best diet for losing weight is the one you can maintain over time — one that creates a calorie deficit while still providing enough nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. When your energy intake (kcal) is lower than your energy expenditure, your weight decreases – regardless of what the diet is called (1,2).
Losing weight after pregnancy – advice for new mothers
Losing weight after pregnancy is an individual process that looks different for everyone. For some, the weight decreases gradually and with little effort, while others find that it doesn’t decrease as expected despite healthy eating and exercise habits. How easy or difficult it is to lose weight depends on several factors, including how much weight you gained during pregnancy, your pre-pregnancy weight, diet, physical activity, genetics, and sleep.
