How weight loss injections influence people’s health and lives.
Giving you holistic guidance to meet your health goals.
I firmly believe in a holistic approach to losing weight. Weight loss injections can be an effective tool, but it’s essential to complement them with a balanced diet and regular exercise for lasting and better health outcomes. These elements work together to support weight management, but also lay the foundation for a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

A curated program of expert advice, delivered straight to your inbox. We’ll share with you:
We want to help you get the very best from your weight loss journey. So we’ll keep adding to Weight Loss HQ too, to make sure whatever we give you is both up-to-date and relevant to your needs.
Yep — completely free. We believe in making access to good health as accessible as possible, so all our resources are available to everyone, free of charge. (There’s no catch, we promise.)
If you use weight loss injections without making any lifestyle changes, chances are you won’t lose any weight. That’s because it’s not the injections per se that cause the weight loss, but rather that the effect they have causes you to eat less. So most people generally do eat fewer calories than usual while using them.
But if you want to get the best from your treatment long-term, it’s best to try and make long-term changes to your lifestyle. That includes changes not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Whole foods are generally best to stick to, eaten mindfully. Exercise is also great for helping to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
Weight Loss HQ is available for anyone on a weight loss journey, but a lot of our advice is tailored to getting the best from an injection treatment. So feel free to sign up and enjoy the resources, but just be aware that not all of it will be completely relevant to your particular needs.
There are two ways to sign up to Weight Loss HQ:
It’s complicated, and it can vary from person to person. But broadly speaking, a BMI (body mass index) anywhere outside of the ‘healthy’ range (both above and below) makes you more likely to suffer from secondary conditions and complications, and this risk increases the further outside of that healthy range that you fall. [1]
So it can go both ways, but the associated conditions with either vary. With an underweight BMI, you’re at risk of complications like anorexia and malnutrition, and with an overweight BMI you have an elevated risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Weight is just one component of a broader health picture, and you can’t completely say whether you’re healthy or not just by purely looking at the number on the scale. People’s bodies can range greatly, and weight can be influenced by a few factors, such as your biological sex and your height.
When trying to determine whether you’re a healthy weight, doctors will often use BMI (body mass index) as a reference. BMI can be imperfect in some cases, because it doesn’t account for factors such as having higher-than-normal muscle mass. But for most people, it can provide a reasonably good indication of whether your weight is about right or whether you’re at risk of developing weight-related health complications.
It’s possible, but not recommended. The best way to lose weight is in a healthy and sustainable way, by eating a well-rounded diet filled with as many whole foods as possible combined with plenty of exercise. [2]
The problem with rapid weight loss is that it’s unsustainable and potentially dangerous. By starving your body of the essential energy it needs, you’ll put yourself at greater risk of serious side effects like malnutrition, gallstones, dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.[3] And on top of that you’ll probably feel pretty miserable throughout, with headaches, irritability, fatigue and muscle loss all common consequences of crash diets.
Quick treatment.
Was snel en simple
Everything is miraculous. I am satisfied
I feel totally pressured by Treated..
Excellent communication via a clear website and being able to receive the desired medicine in a short time. So good and reliable!
It's so nice. Everything goes as planned
A nice treatment! I've been at it for 3 weeks and I've already noticed some difference
All good Easy to order and fast delivery.
Good service. But very difficult to contact anyone after order placed or before final delivery. Very frustrating 😕.
Im doing great with my treatment prescribed by treated. It is helping alot. Hope to keep up the good work and get rid of my problems with nicotine.
Treated is a highly reliable party that is available 24/7 and offers support with specialized doctors. At any time you need it, you can receive advice, advice and information. It calms your head and makes you feel much better right away. The delivery of the products is provided very well and quickly by treated. Everything discreet and tidy. Communication with employees is correct and friendly. I can recommend it to everyone!
Was happily and easily able to receive my Chantix - they were good with the shipping and timely notifications. They refilled my script and sent it, and it arrived early. Definitely no complaints here!
So far, the guidance has gone well.
This was an easy simply way to get the medication I needed. I am happy to say I have stopped smoking. Than you.
Good service and messaging connection. Fast delivery. Trustworthy.
Thorough start-up and lightning-fast delivery
The first 2 weeks at Mounjaro. My appetite has clearly decreased, but not completely disappeared. I can still eat, but I feel full faster and it's much easier to control portions. So far, I haven't noticed any side effects, or at least nothing serious that affects my daily life. At the moment, I'm not really focusing on my weight, but more on my body size and how my clothes fit. I clearly notice that I've lost inches: my clothes are looser and feel different. It's also the second day of my cycle now, so I'm a bit swollen. That's why I try to stay calm about the number on the scale and look more at overall progress.
Giant smooth
Clear and clear website. Easy to change adjustments. Very satisfied with Treated!
Very Satisfied
... zzxxxxxxxxx
I found the process was very easy and the staff was fantastic.
Professional in every way, has nothing negative to say.
Foarte mulțumit?
Very nice people. Easy to work with. Prompt service.
Started with treatment completely tailored to my health and complaints. The right questionnaire, the right guidance and could start soon after a period of assessment. I am sincerely happy with it. The rest goes according to this zeitgeist via online but really no less in person. Experienced as very pleasant.
You guys are just super and helping someone in need when his own doctor will help one sooner now since I guess I have you guys for my own Doctor I am trans woman lacking Estrogen in a hurry So come in to help hug Tina
Easy process with quick delivery. Clear instructions and followup from Treated.
Treated is a great resource for getting help to quit smoking. The ease of application, doctor review and timeliness in receiving the medication is impressive. For those who have never tried the Chantix/Varenicline as a way to stop smoking, please give it a try. If you are serious about quitting this drug will make it 100% possible. As a last note, especially if your insurance doesn't cover it, the cost for the presciption is a fraction of what you would pay from a regular pharmacy.
Glad there are people like you.
All good. Precise and fast service
Very satisfied! I never feel hungry and don't have to eat a lot to get full in my stomach.
Quick response - fast delivery and always competent professionally
Good remedy, works great.
I did not know that increasing the dose also increased the price. Too bad.
Very satisfied with Treated.com. The entire process is tightly organized, clear intake, quick assessment by a doctor and then fast delivery. Everything feels professional and discreet. What is particularly striking is the convenience! You can arrange everything online without hassle, but with medical check-ups. In short: reliable, efficient and user-friendly. Definitely recommended.
Treatment plan is good. Medicine is providing help for issue. Service was professional.

Ordered Tadalafil 20 mg and am very satisfied. Partly with the product, but also because the ordering process is simple and the delivery is fast.

*In a 68- and 72-week clinical trial studying Wegovy (2.4 mg) and Zepbound (15 mg) in patients without diabetes and with BMI ≥30, or BMI ≥27 with a weight-related condition, the average weight loss was 15% and 20%, when paired with diet and exercise changes (compared to 2.4% and 3.1%, respectively, with diet and exercise alone).
