Overview of the report: Effects of Stopping GLP-1 Agonists on Weight, Metabolism, and Health
-
Weight Regain is Common:
Most people regain a significant portion of their lost weight within 1 year of stopping GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro. -
Appetite Returns Quickly:
Discontinuing GLP-1 leads to a rebound in appetite and food cravings, often making it harder to maintain healthy eating habits. -
Metabolic Benefits Decline:
Improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol seen during treatment tend to reverse after stopping the injections. -
Behavioral Support is Crucial:
Long-term success is more likely when GLP-1 treatments are combined with a structured behaviour change program (like Motivation’s Mental Weight approach). -
Lifestyle Changes Must Continue:
The injections alone aren’t a cure; sustainable weight loss depends on long-term lifestyle and mindset changes—even after medication ends.
