Back to EpisodesGLP-1 Weight Maintenance: How to Keep the Weight Off w/ Dr Linia Patel
Description
You’ve lost weight on a GLP-1, but what does maintaining it look like in everyday life? Dietitian Ana Reisdorf and Dr Linia Patel explore practical ways to build satisfying meals, move more throughout the day, and reconnect with hunger and fullness cues, including if medication is stopped. They also unpack the less obvious influences on appetite that can make “just eat less” advice fall short.
**IN THIS EPISODE**
- Why weight maintenance deserves a plan of its own
- Dr Patel’s “satiety stack”: protein, fiber, volume, and crunch
- Making takeout and convenience meals more satisfying
- Supporting muscle health and finding movement you can sustain
- Understanding physical hunger, emotional hunger, and food cues
- Building consistency while making room for enjoyment and self-compassion
