How to Keep the Weight Off After Stopping Wegovy (Semaglutide) or Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
What Really Happens When You Stop Wegovy or Mounjaro
If you’ve ever Googled:
🔍 “How to maintain weight after Mounjaro”
🔍 “Wegovy withdrawal hunger”
🔍 “What happens when you stop semaglutide?”
Then you’ve likely seen headlines that go something like this:
Let’s pause that panic.
Yes, the trials showed weight regain
⮞ ⮞ But no, that doesn’t mean it’s inevitable for you.
Major trials like STEP-1 (extension), STEP-4 (semaglutide), and SURMOUNT-3 & -4 (tirzepatide) did show weight regain when participants stopped their Wegovy or Mounjaro.
~60-75% of lost weight was regained within a year off the drug.
But here’s what those trials didn’t include:
❌ No individual assessment of whether participants' bodies were ready to stop
❌ No mindset support through GLP-1 withdrawal - just "will power"
❌ No structured tapering or dose transition plan
❌ No tools to manage hunger, food noise or post-injection anxiety
In STEP-1 (extension) and SURMOUNT-4, participants were simply removed from the drug, cold-turkey.
Others were simply given outdated "east less, move more" advice.
Nothing about the quality of their diet
Or the type of exercise.
If you’ve been dieting for decades, you already know this doesn’t work
So let’s ask the better question:
⮞ ⮞ Is it any wonder they struggled?
Weight maintenance after GLP-1s isn’t about goal weight:
It’s about biology, behaviour, and belief.
Your body can’t be forced into long-term success.
It needs to be ready for it.
And the key to readiness?
Not your weight on the scale…
Not your "goal weight" - your body doesn’t care about that
⮞ It's your body's internal balance.
⮞ Because your body is different to everyone else's
And if that balance isn't restored?
⚠️ Hunger cues stay scrambled
⚠️ Food noise creeps back in
⚠️ High cortisol drives anxiety and doubt take over
Goal weight isn’t the finish line.
Your body's biology is
⮞ ⮞ Would you like the confidence that brings?
Weight maintenance after GLP-1s isn’t about willpower:
It’s about biology, behaviour, and belief.
Your mind can’t be bullied into long-term success.
It needs to believe that maintenance is possible
That maintenance is possible for you
And feel supported into it.
The key isn't
The real release from your fears comes when
⮞ "What if I fail?" becomes "I've got this"
⮞ And you feel that in your heart
Because here's the truth:
When you’re stuck in “shoulds” and “musts,” maintenance feels like a prison. Coaching helps you break free
Shifting you from food noise and fear of failure into clarity and calm.
It’s about finding your inner heroine:
⮞ The courage to face doubts
⮞ The confidence to step into a new chapter
⮞ The hunger to leave the past behind
Your mind doesn’t care about your goal weight, either.
It cares about whether you truly believe you can succeed.
⮞ ⮞ And that belief changes everything
Weight maintenance after GLP-1s isn’t about following rules:
It’s about biology, behaviour, and belief.
Once you believe you can do it
What's the key to dropping the dieting rule book?
But knowing how to manage
⮞ hunger hormones
⮞ your food noise
⮞ your health
⮞ ⮞ So that you can live the life you lost weight for
Want to know if your body is ready?
I’m creating a simple, evidence-backed quiz to assess what your scale can’t
⮞ Is your body ready to reduce or stop your GLP-1?
⮞ Or is it still recovering from years of imbalance?
Because the trials weren't wrong.
They were incomplete
⮞ ⮞ What have you got to lose?
