Weight loss for men can be extremely challenging due to hormonal changes, stress, appetite dysregulation, slowed metabolism, and visceral fat storage — especially after age 30. Modern medications such as GLP-1 agonists, metabolic boosters, and appetite regulators are transforming fat loss by making it easier, safer, and more sustainable.
These medications are not “magic pills” — they are clinically proven tools that support men in losing weight, controlling appetite, improving energy, and reducing long-term health risks such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
Bangkok offers safe, medical-grade weight loss medications under proper supervision.
Why Men Gain Weight More Easily After 30
Common reasons include:
Lower testosterone levels
Slower metabolism
Decreased muscle mass
Increased work stress
High-calorie diets
Poor sleep
Alcohol consumption
Insulin resistance
Weight loss medication targets the root biological pathways, not just willpower.
Types of Weight Loss Medication for Men
1. GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
The most effective fat-loss drugs currently available.
Examples include:
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)
Liraglutide (Saxenda)
How they work:
Reduce appetite
Slow stomach emptying
Improve insulin sensitivity
Reduce cravings
Increase satiety
Average weight loss: 10–15% of body weight over several months.
2. Metformin
Originally a diabetes medication.
Benefits:
Improves insulin sensitivity
Reduces visceral fat
Stabilizes energy
Helps prevent diabetes
Best for men with prediabetes or metabolic resistance.
3. Phentermine / Appetite Suppressants
Short-term appetite control for selected patients.
4. Thyroid Optimization (If Indicated)
Hypothyroidism can cause fat gain. Medication helps normalize metabolism.
5. Testosterone Optimization
Low testosterone leads to:
Belly fat
Low energy
Slow metabolism
TRT may be appropriate if clinically low.
6. Combination Therapy
Many men need a holistic medical plan, not a single drug.
