The BEST keto yet!
Woman's World|September 12, 2022
Not long ago, the FDA approved a drug called semaglutide, which experts say is as effective as weight-loss surgery. While it’s not for everyone, it can be a lifesaving option for some. “And it can be an inspiration for anyone hoping to drop excess pounds,” reveals Columbia University– trained nutrition expert Fred Pescatore, M.D. Turns out, “it’s pretty easy to mimic the benefits of this drug without all the risks that come with medication or a medical procedure.” Dr. Pescatore already has patients using the approach, a powerful new twist on the popular keto diet. “The feedback I get is amazing,” he says. “It always works. It works for every single person who does it.” As folks transform their health, many are able to shed as much as or more than a typical gastric-bypass patient—dropping up to 60 pounds in one month!
The BEST keto yet!

So what exactly does semaglutide do inside us? Originally approved as a diabetes drug, it slims primarily “by increasing levels of a hormone called GLP-1, which improves blood-sugar control and insulin function as it signals our brain that we’re full,” Dr. Pescatore explains. The more GLP-1 we make, the less we want to eat. On top of that, chronically high blood sugar comes down, shifting our body chemistry in favor of effortless weight loss. It’s why studies show dieters who boost GLP-1 melt about 5.5 times more flab than those who don’t.

Now, you might wonder why we don’t all just take semaglutide. Well, it’s pricey, may cause GI distress and gallstones “and has to be injected,” notes the doc. If you don’t mind needles, the drug (brand names: Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) is an option to discuss with your healthcare provider. Of course, you may find natural GLP-1 boosters are all you need…
