Synopsis

Most people regain weight after weight loss medications. You don’t have to.

New weight loss medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound® (known as GLP-1s) can help you lose weight, but research shows that without a plan, the weight almost always comes back if the prescription ends. Losing the Weight Loss Meds is the first playbook designed specifically to help you transition off medication — and keep your hard-earned success for life.

Written by leading obesity experts Dr. Holly R. Wyatt and Dr. James O. Hill, Losing the Weight Loss Meds lays out a science- backed, 10-week program to replace medication with the power of food, physical activity, and mindstate. You’ll discover how to:

• Reset your appetite naturally with smart food strategies
• Use physical activity to restore and optimize metabolism
• Strengthen your mindstate to build resilience against cravings and setbacks
• Catch early signs of weight regain and stop it before it snowballs
• Create routines and environments that make success easier to sustain

This isn’t another quick-fix diet. It’s a practical guide for the moment millions of people now face: life after GLP-1s.

Whether you’re preparing to stop medication now or later, or just beginning your weight loss journey, this playbook equips you with the tools to protect your progress and fully live the life you’ve worked so hard to create.
