Whether you are taking one or both prescriptions, the short answer is most likely. This is one of the reasons we suggest a full weight loss program that teaches you healthy new habits. This includes diet and exercise, but also whole-body health management. For example, prioritizing sleep and managing stress levels.
Strategies to Prevent Weight Regain
There are several strategies that can be used to prevent weight regain after stopping weight loss prescriptions:
Gradual Transition
Rather than stopping medications abruptly, work with our team to gradually reduce dosages while reinforcing healthy habits.
Maintenance Programs
Consider transitioning to a maintenance program that includes regular check-ins, nutritional counseling, and ongoing support.
Lifestyle Integration
Focus on making permanent lifestyle changes rather than temporary diet modifications. This includes:
Consistent meal planning and preparation:
- Plan weekly menus
- Prep meals in advance
- Keep healthy options readily available
Regular physical activity you enjoy:
- Find activities you look forward to
- Mix cardio and strength training
- Build movement into daily routine
Stress management techniques:
- Meditation or mindfulness
- Deep breathing exercises
- Yoga or tai chi
Adequate sleep (7-9 hours nightly):
- Consistent sleep schedule
- Dark, cool bedroom
- Limit screen time before bed
Mindful eating practices:
- Eat slowly and without distractions
- Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues
- Enjoy your food without guilt
Continued Monitoring
Regular weigh-ins and body measurements help catch any regain early when it’s easier to address.
Support Systems
Maintain connections with our team and consider support groups for ongoing accountability.
