What Happens When You Stop Taking GLP‑1 Medicines?

At first, the swing moves steadily with your help. But the moment you stop pushing, it slows down… then swings right back. That’s what stopping GLP-1 medications can feel like. While you're on them, appetite fades, weight drops, and you finally feel in control. But once the meds stop, hunger returns, cravings creep in, and the weight can start swinging back fast.

FAQ

Medically reviewed by Dr. Saptarshi Bhattacharya, Chief Medical Advisor

What is GLP-1 medication?

GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in the human body that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone to reduce hunger, improve insulin response, and support sustainable weight loss. Learn more

How much weight loss can I expect?

Everybody is unique, so results will vary. Clinical research on GLP-1 therapies has reported a range of outcomes; individual results vary. Your dedicated care team will personalise your plan to help you achieve sustainable progress. Learn more

What happens when I stop the medication?

Your natural appetite signals will return, which is why our programme is built for lasting independence. We prevent relapse with a two-part plan: your doctor creates a medically guided tapering schedule (not an abrupt stop), while your nutritionist helps you build sustainable habits to maintain your results long-term. Learn more

Am I eligible for GLP-1 medication?

Eligibility is a medical decision made by your Voy doctor. It is determined after a comprehensive evaluation, which includes an at-home blood test and a one-on-one consultation with a specialist endocrinologist. They will review your full health profile to see if GLP-1 therapy or another path is right for you. Learn more

Is the program safe?

When prescribed and supervised by our medical team, treatment follows clinical guidelines. Your safety is our priority, which is why every user's journey is overseen by a qualified endocrinologist to ensure care is appropriate for your health needs and to monitor your progress closely. Learn more
