What is The Skinny Shot (GLP-1) and how does it work?
The Skinny Shot is an injectable that is used to help people lose weight. It is a version of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is produced naturally in the body when food is consumed to help control appetite and regular blood sugar levels.
In other words: the Skinny Shot ‘tricks’ your body into thinking it is full, allowing you to eat less, lose weight, without even noticing it!
Besides regular exercise, the most important aspect of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a diet where less calories are consumed than the calories burned. The Skinny Shot makes weight loss easier than ever by reducing your appetite.
