Trial finds 2 strategies to maintain weight loss results after stopping GLP-1s
Medical News Today reports on a small trial in Obesity Science & Practice of 39 people who had stopped GLP-1 medications after more than 10% weight loss. Over 4 months, groups given dietitian-prepared meals or the Noom app had estimated weight regain of 3.58% and 3.60%, versus 10.75% with usual care. The authors note it wasn't powered for definitive efficacy testing. Participants were mostly women from Texas.
Why it matters: Relevant to adults who have stopped GLP-1 medication after substantial weight loss, and to the clinicians who manage their care after discontinuation.
