Now that the medication journey is ending, it's time to embrace the road ahead. We've found that by following certain strategies, many individuals can successfully maintain their new, healthier lifestyle.

Do These 5 Things to Keep the Weight Off Permanently

1) Why Eating More "Efficient" Food is Key to Weight Loss

Think of your food choices as a competition among foods vying to fill you up the fastest! A burger and fries cannot fill you up as efficiently as a lean sirloin steak, even though they may cost about the same at the store. Opt for nutrient-packed options like whole grains, veggies, lean meats, and healthy fats to keep your belly satisfied and your body nourished. With these powerhouse foods on your plate, you'll be fueling your weight maintenance journey like a pro.

2) What Physical Activity Should I Start After Wegovy or Ozempic?

‍

‍

Get your body moving, but start small and be realistic. Lace up those sneakers and hit the pavement for a daily stroll, or dance around your living room to your favorite beats. Whatever gets your heart pumping and your muscles moving is beneficial. Aim for at least 3 hours of activity per week (which is less than a half-hour a day) and watch your body react to your newfound strength and vitality.

3) Why Decreasing Carbs is So Important to Weight Loss

Who doesn’t love carbs? The truth is, the average person consumes more carbs than needed daily. Unless you’re training for a marathon, you likely don't need more than 140g of carbs a day. While carbs are a delicious fuel source, too much can derail weight maintenance efforts. Your waistline will thank you for carb-conscious choices!

4) Sleep is the Unsung Hero of Weight Loss

Your body performs miraculous functions when it gets quality sleep. Prioritize sleep by cozying up in your favorite PJs and aiming for 7-8 hours each night. Not only will you wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the day, but your body will also thank you with balanced blood sugar levels and a happy, healthy metabolism. The increased energy will help you tackle the other tips mentioned!

5) LDN: The Secret Weapon to Fight Rebound Weight

After losing weight, the second hardest challenge is preventing rebound weight gain. Daily supplements that support metabolic health are crucial for anyone who’s been on a weight loss journey. Enter Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), your metabolic secret weapon! LDN has been proven to be safe and effective in managing chronic pain, inflammation, sleep disorders, autoimmune conditions, and even mood and mental health challenges. Additionally, LDN supports metabolic health and helps prevent weight regain. Clinical studies have shown that patients who transition to LDN after stopping Wegovy or Ozempic have higher success rates in maintaining their weight loss.

Everyday+ from Eden is a program that assesses your health needs and includes a mix of LDN, Inositol, and Acetyl L-Carnitine, serving as the perfect off-ramp from the Wegovy and Ozempic journey.

Bonus Tip: Be Like Water

Keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water! Water is your body's best friend, so aim to drink the equivalent of half your body weight in ounces each day. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, you’ll want to drink 100 ounces of water per day (about 3 liters).

With these five tips (plus a bonus) in your arsenal, you can keep the weight off and continue thriving post-semaglutide. With a balanced diet, regular physical activity, quality sleep, and the support of Everyday+, you'll be unstoppable on your weight maintenance journey. Here's to feeling fabulous, staying healthy, and embracing the beautiful adventure of life after Wegovy and Ozempic!
