What Really Happens When You Stop Wegovy or Mounjaro

What the Headlines tell us:

 

 

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:

  • “Everyone regains weight after stopping GLP-1s.”
  • “The hunger comes back immediately.”
  • “Maintenance is impossible without injections.”

 

Let’s pause that panic.

 

Yes, the trials showed weight regain

 

⮞  ⮞  But no, that doesn’t mean it’s inevitable for you.

What the GLP-1 research tells us:

 

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Others were simply given outdated "east less, move more" advice.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?

 

 

Hostings

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

  • Scrolling social media for a "magic bullet"
  • Joining another group for generic advice
  • Gathering more and more information

 

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

 

Hostings

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?

 

  • Not slimming club rules
  • Not restricting or forcing yourself 
  • Not counting every calorie and weighing yourself daily

 

But knowing how to manage 

⮞  hunger hormones

⮞  your food noise

        ⮞  your health

 

⮞ ⮞   So that you can live the life you lost weight for

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

FAQ

 

Do you regain weight after stopping Wegovy or Mounjaro?

Research from the trials shows most people regain about two-thirds of the weight they lost within a year if they stop suddenly. But with the right preparation - biologically and mentally - weight maintenance is possible. Join the waitlist to find out more.

 

Can I maintain weight without GLP-1 medication?

Yes. It takes more than “willpower” though and more than counting your calories. With the right tools you can manage hunger hormones, food noise, and stress, build lasting habits and confidence which will release you from the grips of food prison. Join the waitlist to find out more.

 

What’s the best way to stop Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Trials stopped people abruptly, but in real life, success is more likely if you transition with support -  addressing both your biology and the belief that you can succeed. Join the waitlist to find out more.

 

Do I need to stay on a GLP-1 for life?

That really depends on your biology, behaviours and beliefs.  The evidence is available to show that Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed, which is part of the same metabolic pathway as obesity. Join the waitlist to find out more.
