Send a text or voice note and let's chat!12.4% of Americans are now on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, but here's what nobody's talking about: research shows more than 50% regain the weight within 2 years, and 80% by year 5. Why? Because weight loss and weight maintenance require completely different skill sets.In this episode, I break down the real data on GLP-1 usage: the 16% average weight loss, the side effects (nausea, hair loss, cost), and the critical question: what habits are you building while you're on it? Whether you're considering a GLP-1, currently using one, or losing weight naturally, you need the same maintenance skills to keep weight off long-term.I'm not here to tell you what to do with your body. But as someone who's maintained 20 pounds of weight loss for 8+ years without medication, I know this: only 1 in 5 people succeed at long-term weight loss, and it's not about the transformation method. It's about the maintenance skills.Topics covered:Current GLP-1 usage statistics (especially for women 50-64)Real side effects and costs nobody mentionsWhy 40% of users stop taking themThe difference between weight loss and weight maintenanceHow to build sustainable habits regardless of your methodWhat happens when you stop the medicationQuestions to ask yourself if you're considering or using GLP-1sNo judgment. Just an honest conversation about long-term considerations and planning.🎯 TAKE MY FREE METABOLISM TYPE QUIZ: Find out what's stalling your weight loss + get your personalized action plan → Quiz: https://behindthebody.com/quizLET'S CONNECT! 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindthebody.co/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@behindthebody💌 Join my Newlsetter: https://behindthebody.com/Newsletter 👩🏻‍💻 Website: https://behindthebody.com/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a quick review on Apple or Spotify Podcasts. Every review helps another woman like us find our community of strength, power, learning, and understanding. New episodes every Monday.👋🏻 ABOUT ME: I'm Andrea, a certified fitness and nutrition coach. I spent years doing cardio and avoiding weights because I thought I'd get bulky, and I didn’t understand the impact it would have. At 40, I did a diet overhaul, and I finally started lifting 3-4 times per week, basic compound movements, nothing fancy. Now at 44, I have the strong, toned body I'd been chasing for decades. I've maintained these results for over 8 years with the same simple approach. Now I help women over 40 stop overcomplicating fitness and start building sustainable strength.
