It’s Not A Diet, It’s A Lifestyle Change
No Filter is now offering several weight loss assistance options. GLPs are the #1 weight loss assistance option in the USA and is now available at a significant cost savings. Reach your weight loss goals without incorporating a restrictive diet or intense exercise regime!
GLPs are a receptor agonist similar to the naturally occurring hormone controlling your appetite.
They mimic a hormone in the body that tells the brain to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness after meals. This means that people who receive GLP assistance may feel less hungry and more satisfied after eating, which can help them to eat less and lose weight.
Studies have shown that they are effective in helping people lose weight. People who utilize them have been shown to lose 15% to 20% of their body weight in about six months. GLPs may also help to improve other health problems associated with obesity, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Overall, they are a promising new tool for people struggling with obesity and have not been successful with traditional weight loss methods.

GLPs mimic the effect of "feeling full" resulting in a decreased caloric intake. GLPs will delay gastric emptying by reducing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. The delay in gastric emptying can reduce appetite, improve control of eating, and reduce food cravings.
Most common side effects are: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach (abdomen) pain, headache, tiredness (fatigue), upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, gas, stomach flu, and heartburn. Note that most of these are manageable by proper dosing and some overlap with the intended effect of "feeling full".
There are rare situations where GLPs are contraindicated. Patients with a
personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or in patients with
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
GLPs have been widely used since 2005 and are generally very well tolerated, with minimal side effects.
We do not recommend taking any weight loss medication that is not a GLP during your weight loss program.
