Reaching your goal weight is a milestone. But weight loss is just one phase.

Maintenance is a lifelong process that deserves a plan of its own.

"You've hit your goal weight, time to come off the medication."

If you've heard this and then watched the weight come back, you are not alone and you did not fail.

Obesity is a chronic, relapsing condition. The medication helps to treat the biology behind it; stopping it the moment youve achieved your goal doesn't stop the biology from returning. Maintenance plans have to be individualized.

Reached your goal weight?

The work isn't over yet.

What you need to know: biological forces in the body fight to get you back to your original weight.

Metabolism slows and hunger increases. That's the reason why maintenance is much harder than weight loss and why so many people can regain the weight they lost.

One of the questions I received after an earlier post was: how do you know if you're in a true plateau, while you're in the middle of it?

You often don't know immediately.

That's why I don't treat every stretch of unchanged weight as a plateau that needs to be fixed. I want to see enough of a pattern to understand whether weight has truly stabilized and whether other signs of progress are still changing.

The mistake is reacting too quickly.

Before changing your food, exercise or medication, make sure you're responding to a true plateau and not a normal fluctuation.

I found an estimate for an obesity medicine visit at a hospital system near me.

Billed at $980 dollars. $670 was the hospital charge. $310 was the physician fee.

The facility fee is worth more than double the doctor’s time and labor.
Here is the part you need to know.

If I ran that same visit through insurance as an independent physician, my office would receive $150-250 depending on the contract.

Hospital systems collect far more for identical work because they are far more powerful than independent practices.

That is why Anise Medical is direct pay. You pay me for my time and expertise.

I still have more time to spend with you.

And you know the price before you book, with no facility fee.

When a patient tells me their GLP-1 “isn't working,” the scale is usually the starting point.

But an unchanging number doesn't always give us enough information to judge the treatment.

The scale is one piece of data. If weight has stalled while other factors are changing, I widen the lens before changing the plan.

That's how we decide what needs attention next.

The number on the scale can be useful information but its not the absolute verdict.

I care about weight because it can tell us something about what's happening metabolically. But I also care about what happens to blood pressure, blood sugar, fitness, strength, sleep and daily function.

Sometimes the scale changes before you notice those improvements. Sometimes those improvements happen without much change on the scale.

The goal is to use the information that helps us make better decisions — and stop giving one number the power to decide whether you're succeeding.

If you expect your weight to go down every single week, you're going to think you're failing a lot more often than you actually are.

Weight loss is usually much messier than the straight downward line we imagine.

There can be plateaus.
There can be fluctuations.
There can be weeks where the scale goes up.

The question is whether the overall trend is moving in the direction you want.

This is especially important when you're using a GLP-1. Don't let one frustrating number convince you that your treatment has stopped working.

Zoom out and look at the trend.
