Keeping what you've lost

You've hit your target and want to stay there. This journey covers maintenance dosing, food and movement protocols, and the data on continuing vs. tapering therapy.

  1. Understand maintenance physiology

    Pivotal-trial follow-up shows ~2/3 of weight loss is regained within a year of stopping GLP-1 therapy. The body defends its prior setpoint actively. Maintenance is a real, ongoing intervention — not a finish line.

  2. Settle on a maintenance dose

    Some patients hold the full label dose; many can step down to a lower maintenance dose with stable weight. The right dose is the lowest one at which weight stays in a 2–3 kg band over 8+ weeks.

  3. Lock in nutrition and training

    Maintenance is where protein and resistance training stop being optional. Lean mass is the metabolic infrastructure that makes a lower setpoint sustainable.
