With so many of our clients on the GLP-1 medications, we figured it was time to address the elephant in the room.
How do you maintain weight loss once you come off of the medications? It is a well known fact that the majority of people on GLP-1 medications see rapid weight gain once they stop taking them. So how do you keep the weight off?
This week I talked with one of our coaches, Michele Baron, and we took a deep dive into why people begin to gain weight after they cycle off of these medications. We talk about strategies to help offset this phenomenon and how to manage it before it gets out of control. We discuss ways to help control hunger and cravings and offer real time solutions.
Our conversation covers a variety of topics such as the importance of resistance exercise and what that looks like as well as how to create lifelong habits that will help support long term weight management.
This is a great episode, don’t miss it!
We talked about:
- The different ways we support clients who use or have used semiglutides
- The problem with seeing semiglutides as a ‘quick fix’
- What we don’t yet know about the side effects of these drugs
- Why resistance weight training is so important and can’t be replaced with other forms of exercise
- How coaching can really bridge the gap between the medication and implementing it in our lifestyle
- How we coach those on semiglutides in relation to the 5 pillars of health
- How we help address habits clients may not be aware of that impact what they eat
- The fear many clients have of getting into the kitchen and how we help address that
- When you look for something to eat but it isn’t because of hunger
- How we help clients modify habits and actions without needing an all or nothing approach
- Why most people put weight on faster once they come off the drugs and how to deal with that
- How coaches help when you know you have a problem but don’t know what to do with it
