How can I stop the Medicated Weight Loss Plan?

When you're ready to transition off your GLP-1 medication, we’re here to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. You have two main options:

1. Gradual Reduction: Many people find that tapering the medication gradually allows their body to adjust more naturally as the medication’s effects ease. This slower approach can make the transition feel more manageable.

2. Immediate Stop: If you’re ready to stop right away, you can safely discontinue your medication at any time. Just cancel your subscription through your account when you feel ready.

What to Expect When You Stop Taking GLP-1 Medications

GLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite and curbing cravings, promoting a sense of fullness by slowing down digestion. As you transition off, you may notice a gradual return of appetite or cravings. To manage this, it’s helpful to focus on balanced meals, hydration, and portion control. The healthy habits you built during treatment—like regular exercise, mindful eating, and stress management—are essential for long-term success in maintaining your weight. Your weight loss coach is here to help ensure you stay on track, so you can confidently keep up these positive changes for the long term.

As your body re-adjusts, mild gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea or changes in bowel habits, may also return briefly. These usually subside as your body settles back to its baseline.

Tips for a Smooth Transition

Here are a few ways to ease your transition off GLP-1 medications:

• Gradual Reduction: Tapering off gradually can help your body adjust comfortably and may reduce the likelihood of appetite fluctuations or other symptoms.
• Maintain Lifestyle Changes: Continue focusing on the healthy habits you built during treatment, including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and stress management.
• Stay Connected with Your MANUAL Team: Regular check-ins with your coach or clinician provide support, guidance, and accountability, helping you manage any changes effectively and confidently.

With the right planning and support, you can transition off GLP-1 medications while maintaining the positive progress you’ve achieved. No matter which approach you choose, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Finding the right plan tailored to your needs is key.
