A Very Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) or Total Diet Replacement (TDR) is a diet consisting of meal replacements with very low calorie content, typically around 800 calories per day.

This type of diet is evidence-based, serves as a complete meal replacement over a period, and contains all the necessary nutrients. The diet is developed by doctors and recommended by clinical dietitians.

A Low-Calorie Diet (LCD) is a diet that reduces daily calorie intake but to a lesser extent than a VLCD. An LCD involves a well-balanced diet, using meal replacements instead of complete meal replacements, helping to lower calorie intake while focusing on nutritious and healthy meals.

This type of diet is often used for both weight loss and weight management.

Weight loss medication mimics the gut hormone GLP-1, which increases feelings of fullness and lowers blood sugar levels.

Weight loss medication is injected under the skin with a small, thin needle, resulting in a greater sense of satiety and reduced appetite.

Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are both GLP-1 medications, but they differ in their mechanisms of action:

• Effect: Studies have shown that both medications effectively promote weight loss. A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2021 demonstrated that Tirzepatide resulted in greater weight loss and better glycemic control than Semaglutide in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
• Safety: Both medications have a good safety profile, but individual reactions may vary. It is crucial to consult a healthcare provider to assess potential risks and benefits based on the patient's medical history.
• Side Effects: The most common side effects for both medications are gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which often subside over time.
  
  Rare but serious side effects, including pancreatitis and thyroid tumors, have been reported, as well as muscle mass loss, requiring regular monitoring. Additionally, studies have shown a high likelihood of weight regain when the medication is discontinued.

Nupo products can easily be integrated into your routine to support hunger management and provide structure to your meals. They can be used for:

• Complete Meal Replacement
• Reintroduction of Regular Food
• Weight Maintenance

Nupo products serve as an effective tool to support you throughout your weight loss journey. They can be used both during the initial phase with weight loss medication and after completing the treatment to help maintain your results.

When using weight loss medication, your appetite is reduced, which can often lead to forgetting to eat.

This may result in malnutrition, muscle loss, and side effects from the medication. To avoid this, it is essential to ensure that your body receives the necessary nutrients and proteins.

Nupo products are designed to provide a balanced amount of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients, keeping you full and helping to prevent unplanned, calorie-dense meals. Their portion-controlled meal replacements make it easier to manage your intake and support portion control.

Nupo offers flexible, healthy meals that ensure you get the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. They serve as balanced, low-calorie alternatives that help avoid excess calories while maintaining proper nutrition.

We recommend starting with Nupo Diet (complete meal replacement) and later supplementing with Nupo One Meal (meal replacement) to maintain a healthy and well-balanced diet.

If you notice your weight starting to increase, it's important to act quickly to regain control.

An effective solution is to reintroduce or supplement your diet with complete meal replacement or meal replacement products.

These products help ensure a balanced nutrient intake and support portion control, which can prevent further weight gain.

Start by assessing your current eating habits and identifying any unplanned, calorie-dense meals that might be contributing to the weight increase. By replacing some of these meals with Nupo One Meal meal replacements, you can reduce your calorie intake while still getting the necessary nutrients.

If a more significant adjustment is needed, consider returning to a period of complete meal replacement to kickstart your weight loss and regain balance. This will help you effectively lower your calorie intake and control your weight.

Remember, combining a dietitian-guided program with Nupo products can provide valuable insights into your eating habits. This awareness is key to maintaining your results and preventing weight gain.

Very important. Exercise is crucial for maintaining weight loss after using weight loss medication.

Nupo products can support your nutritional needs, as they are rich in protein and designed to keep you full, providing energy for workouts and helping to prevent muscle loss.

By incorporating both strength training and cardio into your routine, you can further sustain your metabolism. Nupo’s LCD meal replacements are a practical solution, especially when you’re on the go, as they provide protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to ensure balanced nutrition.

The weight maintenance phase is typically a lifelong process. Nupo offers a wide range of meal replacements and snacks that are flexible and can be incorporated into your daily eating habits in the long term.

These products make it easier to control calorie intake while also providing variety and convenience.

It may be an option, but it’s worth considering Nupo as a supportive tool first.

Using Nupo Diet or One Meal for a period can help you regain control over your calorie intake before deciding to resume medication.

However, it’s crucial to always consult your doctor or dietitian to determine the best approach for your situation.

It is possible to experience hunger and cravings after stopping weight loss medication, but Nupo Diet and meal replacements can help manage this.

Nupo products are designed to be rich in protein and fiber, which can help you stay full longer, making it easier to control hunger and cravings. By incorporating Nupo products into your daily routine, you can achieve better balance in your meals, calorie intake, and portion control.

To support your mental health while maintaining weight loss, reducing stress around meal planning can be beneficial.

Practical solutions from Nupo, such as their meals and snacks, make it easier to save time and reduce decision fatigue, especially when you're busy or feeling pressured. Spending less time on meal preparation allows for a more balanced approach to eating.
