“I wanted to lose 5-10 more pounds…
just in case I regain.” 👀

A client said this to me today after reaching her goal weight on a GLP-1.

And honestly?
This is SUCH a common mindset after years of dieting.

We’ve been conditioned to believe:
⚡ weight regain is inevitable
⚡ maintenance never lasts
⚡ we need a “buffer zone”

So people often want to overshoot their goal weight because they’re bracing for rebound.

But GLP-1 maintenance is different than crash dieting.

The goal isn’t:
❌ lose as much as possible
❌ live in fear of regain

The transition phase actually looks more like:
✨ slowing weight loss intentionally
✨ finding your maintenance calorie range
✨ stabilizing hunger/fullness cues
✨ building routines you can realistically maintain
✨ preserving muscle
✨ adjusting medication with your care team

One of the biggest mindset shifts on GLP-1s is realizing: Maintenance isn’t a temporary phase before regain‼️

It’s an actual phase of treatment.

This is why the habits still matter:
✔️ protein
✔️ fiber
✔️ strength training
✔️ hydration
✔️ sleep
✔️ realistic routines
✔️ eating enough consistently
