Clinical evidence
The pattern appears across multiple studies.
2/3
Of prior weight loss regained
One year after stopping semaglutide 2.4 mg, participants had regained an average of two-thirds of their prior weight loss.
STEP 1 trial extension60%
Regained within one year
Across six randomized trials involving 3,236 participants, researchers estimated that 60% of lost weight returned within one year after GLP-1 treatment stopped.
2026 EClinicalMedicine systematic reviewThese findings describe outcomes in specific clinical-trial populations and do not predict an individual result. Tomlin Maintain was not evaluated in these studies and cannot guarantee weight maintenance.
Weight regain after GLP-1s is common and often substantial.
After treatment ends, appetite signals and biological pressure to regain weight can return. In clinical trials, regain occurred even while lifestyle support continued. This is not a failure of willpower. It's a reason to protect your progress before the weight comes back.

Protect the progress
Is your GLP-1 treatment continuing?
The best time to prepare is while treatment is still working. Tomlin Maintain helps you build the nutrition, strength, and accountability routines you'll need.

Prepare for the change
Will you GLP-1 dose change soon?
A planned or unexpected change can leave a gap between treatment and real-life maintenance. Put support in place before that gap opens.

Questions
What to know before the next phase begins.
Do I have to stop taking a GLP-1 medication to join?
No. Tomlin Maintain is designed for several stages: continuing treatment, preparing for a dose or coverage change, or navigating life after treatment. Medication decisions should always be made with the prescribing clinician.
Will Tomlin tell me to discontinue my medication?
No. Tomlin Maintain does not replace the clinician who prescribed your medication. The program helps you build a coordinated maintenance plan and supports conversations with your prescriber.
Are meal replacements required?
The proposed maintenance pathway is grocery-first. Meal replacements may be an optional tool for some people, but they are not positioned as the foundation of Tomlin Maintain.
