Coming off GLP-1: how to prevent the rebound

Appetite returns within weeks of stopping a GLP-1. That is the medicine wearing off, not a moral event. The people who keep most of the weight off are not the ones who found a secret. They are the ones who already had protein, fibre, two training sessions and a night that still worked when the pen left the fridge.

We do not sell a Maintenance kit. We sell the two dailies that were supposed to be in place before you stopped: creatine for the sessions, and a last hour that is not a raid on the cupboard.

What comes back What you want already running
Hunger, sometimes loud Protein-first meals you can still name without the medicine
The old evening pattern Fibre at the meals that stayed, and a kitchen that is not full of the old defaults
A slower metabolism if a lot of the loss was lean mass Two resistance sessions, still. The medicine was never the session
Sleep that was "fine on the pen" and is not fine off it The same lights-out, the same last hour

The rebound is mostly the appetite, plus whatever muscle you gave away

Stopping Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro is a medical decision with the prescriber. Nutrition's job is narrower: do not arrive at that week with a body that only knew how to be small because it was not hungry. The muscle article is you are losing muscle too. The protein article is 30 g per meal.

Habit scaffolding, in the things we actually make

Creatine Daily Gummies stay in the picture because the sessions stay in the picture. Five grams, two gummies, every day, including the emotional week after the last dose. The reservoir does not care that you are scared of the fridge.

SleepHit stays because evenings are when people come off the rails. One stick, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. A wind-down that is not a bowl.

Tapering, rather than stopping cold, is a prescriber conversation. The nutrition rules in the tapering piece do not change at half dose.
