Overview
After reaching your goal weight, your thought may be that you can “lower the dose”. This lower “maintenance dose” should help you keep your weight off, right? Technically, Wegovy hasn’t been studied this way. The patients that saw the most benefit from the highest maintenance dose continued to take the highest dose for a prolonged period (almost 1 year or more).
How It Works
• Maintaining Progress: Even though your weight loss may plateau, the maintenance dose helps you feel full and keeps your body on track.
• Regular Check ups: Your doctor will monitor your progress and adjust the dose if needed.
Healthy Habits 101
• Balanced Diet: Continue to eat healthy. Added sugars can be your first target. Replace with berries or citrus fruits.
• Active Lifestyle: Stay active to help keep the weight off.
• Daily Diary: Recording meals and cravings can help track progress. Document your accomplishments to celebrate your great days!
