What the Study Showed
People who stopped semaglutide after a year regained about two thirds of the lost weight over the next year. Hunger returned, metabolism had slowed, and old habits were waiting.
Three Ways to Stop Well
1. Taper over two to three months while building habits. 2. Stay on a low maintenance dose every one to two weeks (from $229 a month). 3. Switch to a cheaper tool, like a lower dose or a different medication, with monthly check-ins.
The Habits That Hold
Protein first at meals, strength training twice a week, a weigh-in once a week, sleep, and a rule for alcohol. None of this is new; the medication gave you the window to build it.

Common Questions

You can, but regain is likely without a plan.
Is maintenance dosing forever?+
For some people, like blood pressure medication. For others, a year of habits is enough.

Often, yes, if nothing else changed.
