Does GLP-1 Therapy Always Cause Rebound? The Science Behind Silencing Food Noise

After shedding 15–30+ kg on Tirzepatide or Semaglutide, the greatest fear is appetite rebounding like a tidal wave once injections stop. This guide explains the neuroendocrine mechanisms behind rebound and provides field-tested step-down and micro-dosing protocols.

Evidence Context and Common Questions
Biological Context: Hypothalamic set-point reset may lag behind weight loss. Clinical trials highlight the importance of structured maintenance plans. Discuss any medication changes, tapering schedules, and nutritional adjustments (like protein intake) with a qualified clinician. Do not alter approved dosing without medical supervision.
