The Hardest Part of Weight Loss Is What Happens After
Studies show that up to 80% of people who lose significant weight regain some or all of it within 3–5 years. This isn’t failure — it’s biology. When you lose weight, your body fights to return to its previous set point through hormonal changes that increase hunger, reduce satiety, and slow metabolism. Physician-supervised maintenance is essential.
Our Maintenance Approach
Gradual medication tapering (when appropriate) with close monitoring for weight regain signals. Some patients maintain on a lower dose of medication long-term, similar to how blood pressure medication is maintained. Continued nutrition counseling at reduced frequency with our RDN. Body composition monitoring with InBody to catch early changes. Ongoing health coaching for accountability and behavioral reinforcement. Lab monitoring to ensure metabolic improvements are sustained.
