Stopping GLP-1 drugs often brings weight back. A small trial suggests ways to slow it
News-Medical reports on a small pilot trial of 39 adults who had stopped GLP-1 drugs after losing more than 10% of body weight. Over four months, those given medically tailored meals or the Noom app gained about 3.6% of body weight versus about 11% with usual care, in exploratory model estimates. Adherence and satisfaction, the primary outcomes, did not differ; both intervention groups still gained weight.
Why it matters: Relevant to adults who have recently stopped GLP-1 weight-loss medication, and to the clinicians who support patients through that transition.
