Considering stopping your Goodweigh treatment? Below we explain what you can expect and how best to approach it.
What happens if you stop?
GLP-1 medication suppresses your appetite and slows down stomach function. If you stop, these effects disappear once the medication is no longer active in your body. This always leads to the return of appetite and weight gain.
Our advice: taper off gradually
Instead of stopping all at once, we recommend tapering off gradually. This gives your body time to adjust and helps you discover to what extent you can maintain your weight without medication.
Always discuss tapering off with the doctor first via the medical chat in your portal.
The doctor can draw up a tapering schedule that fits your situation.
Keep paying attention to nutrition and lifestyle, even after stopping. Schedule an extra conversation with our lifestyle coaches for this.
What if my weight comes back?
Notice your weight increasing after stopping? You can always get in touch. We'll look together at your lifestyle and whether resuming treatment makes sense.
Prefer to just pause for a while?
Don't want to stop permanently but just want to take a break? Always discuss this with the doctor first. After that you can easily do so via your personal account. You can pause your subscription for the next order, until a specific date, or indefinitely.
