You lost 40 pounds. Then you stopped the shot.
Here’s what the research says happens next — and it’s not what your clinic probably told you.
Two-thirds of it comes back. Within a year.
That’s the real number from the largest study anyone’s run. 17.3% lost over 68 weeks on semaglutide. 11.6 points of it back twelve months after stopping. Tirzepatide, same story.
Now the part that actually matters:
Nearly half of them held their loss.
So what separated the two groups? Not willpower. Both trials yanked the medication cold turkey at maximum dose — no taper, no plan, and in one case they pulled the coaching at the same time.
That’s not stopping. That’s falling off.
And here’s the thing nobody tells you: when weight comes off fast, some of it is muscle. When it comes back, it comes back as fat. Same number on the scale. Worse body underneath.
Your bathroom scale can’t see that. Ours can.
Every patient here gets a body composition scan at every visit — not a weigh-in. We’re watching what you’re losing, not just how much.
$199/mo semaglutide. $249/mo tirzepatide. Labs and visits included. No membership fee. Nothing to cancel.
Thinking about coming off? Already off and watching it creep back? Come talk to us before it’s twenty pounds instead of five.
