A guide on how to collaborate with your healthcare provider to maintain the right balance for long-term success.
As you near your weight loss goals with GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro), transitioning to a maintenance dose is an important next step. Finding the right maintenance dose requires a collaborative approach with your healthcare provider to ensure long-term success and continued progress. Here’s how to work with your doctor to find the optimal dose for you
Before your appointment, keep track of your weight loss progress, appetite levels, and any side effects you’ve experienced while on the medication. Note how your energy levels are and how well you’re able to stick to a balanced diet and exercise routine. Sharing this information with your doctor will provide valuable insights into how the medication is affecting you and help guide the decision about moving to a maintenance dose.
Your doctor will help determine if you’ve reached your ideal weight or if you still have a little further to go. Be honest about your weight loss goals and how you feel about your progress. The maintenance dose typically comes into play when you’ve achieved significant weight loss and have stabilized your appetite. Your doctor will evaluate whether a reduction in dosage will still support your weight maintenance while preventing further weight loss.
Once you transition to a maintenance dose, your doctor will monitor any changes in your health, including appetite levels, hunger cues, and energy. It’s important to check in regularly, as your body may need time to adjust. If you experience side effects like nausea or changes in appetite, your doctor may adjust the dose slightly to ensure you’re comfortable
Your doctor will also emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine as part of your long-term weight management plan. A maintenance dose will help control hunger and support your metabolic health, but sustainable lifestyle changes are essential for keeping weight off in the long term.
By working closely with your healthcare provider, you can find the right balance in your treatment plan, ensuring that your maintenance dose of GLP-1 medications supports lasting weight management and overall well-being.
