It turns out that initially losing weight through a diet and then adding workouts of varying intensity may be the best option for those who are going to seriously lose weight over a long period, and then maintain the result. The findings of a group of doctors, based on data from 4 different groups of subjects, are published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The experiment involved 215 people who were offered different ways to lose weight. The most effective way to combat obesity has been a combination of diet, exercise, and an appetite suppressant hormone-based anti-obesity medication. Liraglutide is an analogue of the natural appetite suppressant hormone GLP-1, which is secreted by the intestines when we eat, but it is a prescription drug and is not considered a healthy way to lose weight. It is needed by those people who have high health risks obesity.
But even without liraglutide, volunteers who combined diet and exercise lost significant weight in the long term and were able to maintain weight.
