Scientists May Have Found How to Limit Weight Regain After Stopping GLP-1s
Newsweek reports on a small pilot randomized trial from Tufts University and UT Southwestern involving 39 adults who stopped GLP-1 medications. Over four months, the control group regained around 10.75 percent of body weight, versus 3.6 percent with a digital wellness app and 3.58 percent with medically tailored meals. Researchers say more study is needed on how long support should last.
Why it matters: Relevant to adults who have stopped or are weighing stopping GLP-1 medications, and to clinicians and dietitians who support patients through discontinuation.
