Yes absolutely, in fact it’s recommended. Obesity is a relapse disease, only a small percentage can get weight off and keep it off.
the drugs also bring many many other health benefits.
its perfectly fine to come off and maintain alone, its also fine to try this, and if it fails, buy a pen or two if you start regaining, to bring your weight back down and go back to doing it without, most maintenance suppliers will let you restart uo to a year after last injection.
this drug isn’t just to enable you to get to a healthy weight, it’s designed to help you stay there.
i am maintaining on 5mg too, i know no matter how hard i try, if i come off and go alone, i will be successful for a period of time, then life will get in the way and it will be too hard, diet fatigue will set in and my weight will increase. For my health i can’t permit that.
in addition im fully aware my body now works optimally, my blood sugar and insulin sensitivity is under control, my fat stores are available to fuel me, and glucose is burned off not stored as fat. Plus I have many other health benefifs, from healthy blood pressure to good cortisol levels, and no inflammation
I also frankly don’t want to live my life feeling hungry, deprived and miserably trying to control my weight, I’ve been there, done that, and my mental health is important too.
now I eat when hungry, stop when full, have healthy portions, don’t snack, work out most days, and it doesn’t take any of my headspace. If I go on a big holiday and gain a few pounds, I simply nudge my dose up and drop my weight back to where it should be.
i don’t like the cost, but I can afford it and it’s better this than the alternative, for me,
