An analysis of 37 previous studies involving 9,000 participants, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), highlights that weight rebound after stopping these drugs happens much faster than after behavioural weight loss methods like diet and exercise. GLP-1 medications, originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, have become widely used for weight management by suppressing appetite, slowing digestion, and prolonging feelings of fullness.
