Biographical Note: Review Quotes: "This book is like having two super smart, empathic experts in your corner, cheering you on with science and support. Wyatt and Hill make the transition off GLP-1s feel doable, empowering, and uniquely yours. A must-read for anyone ready to maintain their weight loss with confidence and clarity." --Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, CDN, author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table "What sets this book apart is its refreshing honesty about the reader's potential appetite and weight rebound after stopping the medication, paired with realistic solutions that actually make sense . . . Wyatt and Hill provide a science-backed game plan, along with a playbook of smart, savvy, and doable strategies, to help aid in long-term success." --Joan Salge Blake, EdD, RDN, LDN, FAND, clinical professor at Boston University and host of the Spot On! podcast "In primary care, we celebrate when patients achieve meaningful weight loss--especially with tools like GLP-1 medications. But sustaining that success after stopping the meds? That's where the real work begins. Losing the Weight Loss Meds gives patients the road map they need. Holly Wyatt and James Hill bring science, structure, and soul to a challenge too often overlooked. This playbook is smart, practical, and empowering--just what our patients deserve." --Irfan M. Asif, MD, family and community medicine department chair at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Heersink School of Medicine "Threading the needle between the science and biology of body weight and the reality confronting people who live with lifetime challenges is hard. Too many people have easy answers, but real life is not so easy. Drs. Hill and Wyatt confront this reality and offer practical approaches for this challenge. They draw on years of research as well as real-life experiences in their engaging and valuable new book." --Ted Kyle, founder of ConscienHealth "More people are losing weight and reaching their goals, and it's time for everyone to take weight stability as seriously as they took their weight loss. Yes, it's now about understanding that continuing the journey is your weight staying where it is. That requires a different set of skills than losing weight, and Drs. Hill and Wyatt show you they not only understand this, but they walk you through the process of building those skills while giving you all the tools you'll need. They show you that weight stability is the new 'win.'" --Keith T. Ayoob, EdD, RD, FAND, associate professor emeritus of pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine "This book arrives at the right time. As more patients use GLP-1 medications for weight loss, we need clear, evidence-based guidance for what comes next. Drs. Wyatt and Hill offer practical strategies rooted in physiology and clinical experience. They address the return of appetite, metabolic changes, and the behavioral adjustments needed for long-term weight regulation. This is a valuable resource for patients and clinicians." --Victoria A. Catenacci, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, endocrinologist, and clinical researcher in obesity and metabolism "You've already done something incredible. You lost the weight. But that's not the end of your story. It's the beginning of something even greater. This book is your playbook for that next chapter . . . Inside these pages is the truth, the strategy, and most of all, the belief that you can do this. Not just for a season. For life. You've got the power. This book shows you how to use it." --Chris Powell, transformation coach and host of ABC's Extreme Weight Loss "This book is an excellent resource for the millions of people who have successfully lost weight, primarily with the help of medication, and are now in the challenging position of needing to maintain that achievement for the rest of their lives. Drs. Wyatt and Hill leverage their decades of scientific and practical experience to explain in understandable terms why this is a different test from losing weight. They provide the needed variety of evidence-based plans that recognize each person's unique circumstances in their goal for lasting success." --Michael D. Jensen, MD, professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and editor-in-chief of Obesity "Drs. Wyatt and Hill are internationally recognized experts in weight loss maintenance. In this important book, they translate the complex science of weight regulation into clear, practical guidance and provide an evidence-based framework for sustainable weight control . . . This is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and patients committed to lasting weight management." --Robert H. Eckel, MD, past president of The Obesity Society, American Heart Association, and American Diabetes Association "Not everyone needs to take GLP-1 medications forever. There is no one better than Dr. Holly Wyatt and Dr. James Hill to coach you in the skills needed to succeed with long-term weight loss maintenance . . . Jim brings the science to this book, grounding it in evidence and decades of research, and Holly knows how to get in your head, to understand you and your needs--that's her superpower." --Donna H. Ryan, MD, past president of The Obesity Society and professor emerita at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center "In my clinical practice, I've seen how often the transition off GLP-1 medications is misunderstood--not because it's impossible, but because people aren't given the right tools and strategies. Losing the Weight Loss Meds offers a clear, science-backed playbook for navigating this phase with confidence." --Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, board-certified and fellowship-trained physician, founder of Muscle Centric Medicine, and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong "We've learned a great deal about the biology of weight regain, particularly how the body adapts to defend a lower weight. This book takes that science seriously. Drs. Wyatt and Hill apply decades of metabolic research to the real-world challenge of maintaining weight loss after GLP-1 medications are stopped." --Paul MacLean, PhD, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado and expert in energy balance, metabolic adaptation, and obesity treatment "Obesity is a chronic, biologically defended condition, and we now have powerful tools to help treat it. But tools alone are not enough. In this important book, Drs. Wyatt and Hill provide a thoughtful and science-based road map for those navigating the complex realities of long-term weight management. With clarity, compassion, and deep expertise, Holly and Jim help readers better understand their bodies, their behaviors, and their biology, wherever they are in the journey." --George A. Bray, MD, Boyd professor emeritus at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center and past president of The Obesity Society " Losing the Weight Loss Meds is the wake-up call we all need. As we step into a new era of health and healing, Drs. Wyatt and Hill offer more than science--they offer wisdom and a road map for reclaiming agency over our body, mind, and spirit . . . This book is a powerful and compassionate call to step fully into that responsibility and create sustainable health--beyond the prescription." --Ritu Aneja, PhD, professor and associate dean for research and innovation at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Health Professions "There is an urgent need for clear guidance and support for the huge numbers of people who use a GLP-1 agent to lose weight and then stop it . . . Holly Wyatt and Jim Hill are recognized as world-class leaders when it comes to weight loss maintenance. They have a tremendous gift for making weight management accessible to ordinary people. This book is a treasure-chest of ideas and game plans that will help people negotiate the obesogenic environment and avoid weight regain when GLP treatment is stopped." --Michael Lean, MD, professor of human nutrition at the University of Glasgow Publisher Marketing: Most people regain weight after weight loss medications. You don't have to. New weight loss medications like Ozempic(R), Wegovy(R), Mounjaro(R), and Zepbound(R) (known as GLP-1s) can help you lose weight, but research shows that without a plan, the weight almost always comes back if the prescription ends. Losing the Weight Loss Meds is the first playbook designed specifically to help you transition off medication -- and keep your hard-earned success for life. Written by leading obesity experts Dr. Holly R. Wyatt and Dr. James O. Hill, Losing the Weight Loss Meds lays out a science- backed, 10-week program to replace medication with the power of food, physical activity, and mindstate. You'll discover how to:
This isn't another quick-fix diet. It's a practical guide for the moment millions of people now face: life after GLP-1s. Whether you're preparing to stop medication now or later, or just beginning your weight loss journey, this playbook equips you with the tools to protect your progress and fully live the life you've worked so hard to create.
