How do Mounjaro and Wegovy work?
Reduce how much food you crave and eat
These treatments mimic hormones that help regulate appetite, making it easier to feel satisfied with smaller portions.
Slow the pace of stomach emptying
By slowing how quickly food leaves the stomach, these medications help you feel fuller for longer.
Reduce blood sugar levels
These treatments help stabilise blood sugar, which can reduce cravings and support weight loss.
How does Alli work?
Reduces fat absorption
About 25% of the fat you eat is prevented from being absorbed into your system.
Targets digestion
Blocks an enzyme that normally breaks down fat, so the fat stays undigested.
Leaves the body
The unabsorbed fat passes through your system naturally.
When will I see results?
Weight loss programmes are not a quick fix, but results are transformative. Most people notice results after a few months and continue seeing improvements well beyond that. Everyone’s journey is unique.

Frequently asked questions
You can read all of our FAQs here
How do GLP-1 medications work?
GLP-1 medications work in three ways:
By mimicing the body’s natural GLP-1 and GIP hormones, reducing how much food you crave and eat.
Slowing the pace of stomach emptying, making you feel fuller for longer.
Reducing blood sugar levels by promoting the release of insulin.
How long before I see results?
Using weight loss medications with the support of our Health Coaches, you should expect to see results within a few weeks with notable weight loss within the first few months.
Your body will take some time to adjust to the changes but please be patient and trust the process.
What are the potential side effects?
Some people do experience side effects. The most common ones are vomiting, nausea and diarrhoea but they’re usually mild and settle within a couple of weeks.
Our Clinician chat option in My Account is available to guide you through any side effects and provide 1:1 advice.
To learn more about side effects, you can read the full medical information sheet.
Is it normal to not lose much weight in the first month?
Yes, this is quite common. The early months are allowing your body to adjust to the medication more so than about weight loss. Each body reacts differently though, so it is better to focus on your own journey and not compare yourself to others.
What if I’m experiencing side effects?
Some side effects are common with weight loss medication and often aren’t cause for alarm. If you are experiencing side effects and are concerned, you can speak directly with our Clinicians in your account, or contact NHS 111.
When should I expect to see more significant results?
While individual results vary, insights from our members suggest that many begin to see more noticeable changes by month three to four. Consistency is key to reaching this stage and beyond.
Can I switch from one GLP-1 medication to another?
Yes, switching between GLP-1 medications is possible under clinical supervision. Our team manages the transition to ensure it’s appropriate for your health profile. However, you must only take one weight loss medication at a time.
How does Alli work?
Orlistat works by blocking the absorption of about 25% of the fat from the food you eat by preventing the breakdown of fat in your digestive system. This unabsorbed fat is then naturally excreted from your body.
Are there any side effects when taking Alli?
Yes, these are usually linked to the digestive system due to how the medication works. Common side effects can be things like diarrhoea and oily discharge, bloating or wind and some abdominal discomfort.
How long should I take Alli for?
Alli can be a helpful short-term aid to support weight loss, but long-term success depends on sustaining changes to eating habits, activity levels and overall lifestyle.
Do I need to make diet changes while taking Alli?
To achieve the best results, and make changes more long term, it is recommended that you eat a balanced diet. Our Health Coaches can help assess your current diet and suggest changes that are suited to your goals and lifestyle.
