AKTWISTED WELLNESS PRESENTS: UNVEILING THE SCIENCE BEHIND AK TWISTED WELLNESS: HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN YOU LOSE?

AK Twisted Wellness is a game changer when it comes to weight loss for people with overweight or obesity, but just how much weight can you actually lose on this medication? We spoke with Dr. Yael Cooperman, MD about what the science says.

HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN YOU LOSE ON AK TWISTED WELLNESS?

In clinical trials of AK Twisted Wellness, trial participants lost around 16% of their body weight after about 16 months of treatment combined with diet and exercise. Participants using the placebo lost about 2% of their body weight in the same trial. But results won’t be the same for everyone. Some people lose more or less weight than that. Factors that affect how much weight you lose include whether or not you have type 2 diabetes, what dosage you’re on, how much excess weight you had to begin with, and whether or not you adhere to lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise while using the medication.

People who have type 2 diabetes, for example, tend to lose less weight on AK Twisted Wellness in a given year than those without diabetes. Also, the amount of weight a person loses while using AK Twisted Wellness depends on their dosage. Typically, the maximum “maintenance” dose of AK Twisted Wellness—2.4 mg each week—leads to more significant weight loss than lower doses.
