Common questions
How much weight do people regain after stopping GLP-1?
The STEP 1 trial extension found participants regained roughly two-thirds of the weight lost within a year of stopping. Regain is predictable, which also makes it plannable.
Do GLP-1 drugs cause muscle loss?
A meaningful share of the weight lost can be lean tissue if protein intake and resistance training are not deliberately maintained, which is exactly what makes regain worse afterwards.
