What Are GLP1 Weight Loss Injections?
GLP1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes that were found to produce dramatic weight loss. They work by mimicking a natural gut hormone that tells the brain you are full, slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, and reduces food cravings at a neurological level.
The result is that patients eat significantly less, feel satisfied with smaller meals, and lose weight consistently over months — without hunger being the dominant experience. This is fundamentally different from willpower-based dieting.
Two GLP1 Options Available at Dr Ayub Naich's Clinic
Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) (Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) / Weight Loss Injection)
Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) is a once-weekly GLP1 injection that is now the most widely prescribed weight loss medication globally. In the STEP clinical trials — the largest weight loss medication trials ever conducted — GLP1 weekly injection produced average weight loss of 14.9 percent of body weight over 68 weeks.
- Once-weekly subcutaneous injection, self-administered at home
- Starting dose 0.25mg, escalated over 16 to 20 weeks to maintenance dose
- Average weight loss: 12 to 15 percent of body weight over 9 to 12 months
- Significant improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol
- Reduces cardiovascular risk — proven in SELECT trial (2023)

Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1)
Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) is newer and works on two receptors simultaneously — GLP1 and GIP — producing greater appetite suppression than GLP1 weekly injection alone. The SURMOUNT trials showed average weight loss of 20.9 percent at the highest dose over 72 weeks. This is the highest ever recorded for a pharmaceutical intervention for obesity.
- Once-weekly injection — same convenience as GLP1 weekly injection
- Starting dose 2.5mg, escalated to 5mg, 10mg, or 15mg
- Average weight loss: 15 to 20 percent of body weight
- Head-to-head trials show Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) outperforms GLP1 weekly injection at all doses
- Superior results for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity together

How Dr Ayub Naich Runs the GLP1 Program
Self-administering GLP1 injections without medical supervision is both unsafe and ineffective. Dr Ayub Naich's program provides the structure and monitoring that produces real results:
- Initial consultation: full obesity assessment, medical history, blood pressure, blood tests
- Selection of the right medication based on your health profile, weight loss goals, and budget
- Dose titration plan — gradual escalation to minimise nausea and side effects
- Monthly in-clinic monitoring appointments — weight, blood pressure, symptom review
- Personalised dietary guidance throughout — what to eat on GLP1 to maximise results
- WhatsApp access to the clinic for any concerns between appointments
- Long-term weight maintenance plan after reaching target weight
GLP1 vs Gastric Balloon — Which is Right for You?
Both treatments are available at Dr Ayub Naich's clinic and are sometimes combined. The right choice depends on your situation:
- Prefer injections over a procedure? → GLP1 injections
- Want faster initial weight loss with a structured 6-month program? → Gastric balloon
- Have type 2 diabetes and need both glucose control and weight loss? → Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1)
- Maximum weight loss priority? → Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1) or gastric balloon + GLP1 combination
- Want to maintain weight loss after gastric balloon removal? → GLP1 as continuation
Dr Ayub Naich discusses all options honestly at your consultation — including which he thinks will give you the best outcome for your specific situation.
Who is Suitable for Weight Loss Injections (GLP-1)s?
- BMI 27 or above, or BMI 25 with obesity-related health conditions
- Have not achieved adequate weight loss with diet and exercise alone
- No personal or family history of thyroid cancer or MEN2 syndrome (specific contraindication)
- Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Type 2 diabetes patients benefit doubly — weight loss and glucose control
