Hormonal
Carbohydrate Restricted Nutrition Therapy (CRNT) induces hormonal changes (lower ghrelin, higher GLP-1/CCK) that reduce hunger and appetite, thereby supporting weight maintenance after GLP-1 deprescription.
The reason low-carb diets help you stay full is not just willpower; they biologically alter your hunger hormones. Ketosis lowers ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and increases satiety hormones, making it easier to maintain weight loss without constant hunger.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
blood BHB concentrations are associated with lower concentrations of the hunger hormone ghrelin and higher concentrations of satiety hormones glucagon-like peptide 1 and cholecystokinin [26].

- Initial treatment for type 2 diabetes should be a combination of metformin and either an SGLT-2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist to achieve cardiorenal protection, rather than monotherapy or older agents like sulfonylureas.Strong
- For patients with specific monogenic obesity syndromes (leptin deficiency, POMC/PCSK1/LEPR mutations), targeted pharmacotherapy (recombinant leptin or setmelanotide) is highly effective and should be prioritized, unlike in polygenic obesity.Strong
- Continued weekly administration of 2.4 mg subcutaneous semaglutide prevents weight regain and promotes further weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, whereas switching to placebo results in significant weight regain.Strong
