Rebound Weight Gain After GLP-1 Drugs: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It

Many people worry about regaining weight after GLP-1 therapy. Rebound weight gain is a biological response driven by metabolic adaptation, muscle loss, and hormonal shifts—but with the right preparation and stabilization strategies, it can often be reduced or prevented.
