Many of us know how hard it is to lose weight, and our modern-day lifestyle gives us unlimited access to treats in a culture which is often built around food. This can make it very difficult to restrict our eating to the extent required to lose weight.
Saxenda® is a prescription only treatment that works by making you feel fuller, faster. Administered by injection every day, Saxenda® will reduce your appetite so you will feel full after small meals. As a result, clients can lose a significant amount of weight as opposed to through diet and exercise alone.
Once Saxenda® has enabled you to lose weight, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise programme helps keep the weight off.
