Why You Gain Weight After Taking GLP-1

In this episode of the That Was Yesterday Podcast, Joe Carabase breaks down why weight gain after GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro is not only common, but predictable — and why the same pattern shows up after extreme calorie restriction and crash diets. This conversation is not anti-medication and not about shame. It’s about telling the full story that most people are never told — even by medical professionals — so you can make informed decisions and protect your long-term health. Drawing from over 20 years of coaching experience and hundreds of real client cases, Joe explains what happens when appetite returns but metabolism hasn’t recovered, how GI issues and inflammation quietly keep people stuck, why rapid weight loss often leads to muscle loss and malnutrition, and why chasing the number on the scale eventually backfires. Most importantly, he explores the deeper reason regain happens so often: when the outside changes faster than the inside, identity and subconscious resistance pull you back toward what’s familiar. Weight loss doesn’t fail because you’re broken. It fails when the inside doesn’t change along with the outside. If you’re currently taking a GLP-1, considering one, or struggling after coming off — this episode will help you understand what’s happening in your body and what to do next.🎧 Listen now — and please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
