Prescription injection medication can also significantly help you lose weight. The diabetic medications Victoza,
Symlin and Byetta are injected once or twice a day with an epi-pen like device, and can very significantly
decrease your hunger, decrease your carbohydrate cravings, and limit fat storage. Victoza is 93% GLP1,
Glucagon Like Peptide 1 – one of the 4 main hormones that control body weight. Victoza is injected once a
day, and for the next 24 hours you are significantly less hungry, you crave far fewer sweets and starches, and
your body limits fat storage. Symlin and Byetta are prescription injections that do the same thing, but they are
injected twice a day. I prefer once a day Victoza, because 25% of patients do not inject the second dose of
Symlin or Byetta, because they want to eat dinner. The patients who do the best and lose the most weight in my
practice, come to my office every day for a free shot of Victoza.
