What happens when you STOP GLP-1s?

Quitting Monjauro means the weight returns. Mj treats the loss but doesn't cure the weight problem. Hardly anyone manages to stay within 10 lbs of their loss after stopping glp1s. They're basically lifelong meds. Nobody quits blood pressure meds merely since readings looked fine for a while, same logic.

i think its more that people who dealt with food noise alongside a weight problem are just grateful a medication exists that changes how their brain and body respond. thats the overwhelmingly positive theme i keep seeing here. regarding stopping and restarting, the pattern that comes up most is pretty consistent: youll likely regain weight, food noise tends to return, and body composition often ends up carrying more fat than before. exceptions exist, especially among athletes focused on muscle. theres also a recent study worth mentioning, researchers found inconsistent use of some of these medications can meaningfully reduce how well they work over time. in the animal research, each stop and restart cycle meant less weight lost compared to the original response

Most likely yes, the weight comes back if you stop, its a lifelong medication. Using it as a "diet" and then stopping means regaining, same as any diet. Why would it differ? Diets dont work long term, this changes your metabolic state. That said, you may be perfectly healthy (weight doesnt equal health).
