Avoiding weight regain

by Lori Carrell

If you’ve recently experienced weight loss through GLP-1 medications, congratulations on reaching this milestone!   As you probably already know, the journey doesn’t end with weight loss; maintaining your new weight can be a challenge. Here are some essential tips to help you avoid regaining the weight and ensure long-term success: 

Adopt a Sustainable Eating Plan

After your initial weight loss, transitioning to a sustainable eating plan is crucial. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods—fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid extreme calorie restriction or fad diets, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies and unsustainable habits. Instead, aim for moderate, consistent changes that you can maintain in the long term. 

Prioritize Regular Physical Activity

Incorporate regular exercise into your routine to support weight maintenance. Aim for a mix of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility workouts. Regular physical activity helps to boost metabolism, build muscle, and prevent weight regain. Find activities you enjoy to make exercise a natural part of your life. 

Monitor Your Weight and Adjust as Needed

Keep track of your weight and other key health metrics regularly. This will help you identify any early signs of weight regain and make necessary adjustments to your diet or exercise routine. Being proactive about monitoring your progress can prevent minor weight fluctuations from becoming significant issues. 

Stay Hydrated and Mindful

Drinking plenty of water is essential for overall health and can help control appetite. Additionally, practicing mindful eating—paying attention to hunger cues, eating slowly, and savoring your food—can prevent overeating and help you maintain your weight. 

Seek Support and Professional Guidance

Maintaining weight loss can be easier with support. Consider working with a dietitian, nutritionist, or a support group to stay motivated and accountable. Professional guidance can provide personalized strategies and help you navigate any challenges you may encounter.

We can answer your questions.

Check out our full list of FAQs.

We offer a comprehensive approach to your weight loss journey, combining effective GLP-1 medications with personalized supplements to support both your health and goals. Our focus is on enhancing the effectiveness of your treatment plan while promoting overall well-being. Through our physician affiliates, we provide convenient telehealth services for screening and approval, and our supplements are thoughtfully selected in partnership with Persona Nutrition to complement your weight loss progress.

Getting started is easy! Simply complete a brief health assessment through our telehealth platform. A licensed healthcare provider will review your information to determine if you qualify for GLP-1 therapy. If approved, your prescription will be sent directly to you. Additionally, we'll arrange a supplement consultation through our partnership with Persona Nutrition to create a customized supplement plan tailored to your needs.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, are prescribed to manage blood sugar levels and support weight loss. These medications work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and insulin production. This helps you feel fuller for longer, supports healthy blood sugar levels, and promotes weight loss when used alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Our licensed healthcare providers prescribe a variety of medications tailored to your unique needs, including FDA-approved anti-obesity medications and certain off-label medications for weight loss. We also offer compounded medications, prepared by 503A and 503B pharmacies that follow stringent standards set by the FDA. However, please note that while these pharmacies adhere to FDA guidelines, compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or intended use.

As with any medication, side effects may occur. The most common side effects of GLP-1 agonists include GI effects. For most users, these side effects are resolved within a few weeks. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider if you experience any issues while taking a new medication.

If you don’t qualify for GLP-1 medications or prefer not to use them, we offer personalized nutrition support through our partner, Persona Nutrition. Their team can help you explore natural alternatives and supplements that support weight management and metabolic health. Whether you choose to focus on natural solutions alone or in combination with your medications, we’ll work with you to create a plan tailored to your needs.

Pricing varies based on your personalized treatment plan and includes the cost of your medication, unlimited access to your medical provider, and consultations with a nutritionist. We offer transparent out-of-pocket pricing, with the cost remaining the same at every dose.

We do not currently accept insurance, FSA, or HSA. However, we provide clear, upfront out-of-pocket pricing before you commit to the service, and the cost stays consistent with each dose. What you see is what you pay!
