Keeping Weight Off After Semaglutide

By John Finn, WIC Nutritionist/Dietitian

Many people worry about weight regain after stopping medications like semaglutide. While it can happen, it’s not inevitable.

🏃 Keep Moving

Exercise plays a huge role in maintaining weight loss. Aim for:

• 150–250 minutes of activity per week

• Include strength training when possible

Even walking counts.

🍽 Eat for Fullness

Focus on foods that help you feel satisfied:

• Lean protein (eggs, fish, beans)

• Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables

• Whole grains

These foods naturally slow digestion and help manage hunger.

🤝 Ask for Support

Weight management works best with support. Doctors, dietitians, and fitness professionals can help you maintain progress and build sustainable habits.

Healthy weight is about long-term habits—not quick fixes.
