GLP-1 Hub
Stopping a GLP-1 & Maintaining Your Results
Losing weight is only half the treatment. The two calculators below cover the harder half: how to hold your loss on a maintenance dose, and what a taper or stop realistically looks like.

Estimate your regain risk before stopping
Uses the published post-treatment data (STEP-4 for semaglutide, SURMOUNT-4 for tirzepatide) to model how much of your loss is typically regained after stopping, and how a taper changes the picture.
What the result means
The estimate is a trajectory based on trial averages. It helps you and your prescriber discuss whether now is the right moment to stop, and what a maintenance plan should look like.
Limitations
Regain depends heavily on nutrition, resistance training, sleep, and life stress — none of which the calculator can measure. The decision to stop, taper, or continue always belongs to your prescriber.
