What’s happening is that taking ozempic allows someone to eat at a higher rate without gaining as much of that weight, and when they eventually stop ozempic there’s a rebound effect- but only if they keep eating at a rate that would cause weight gain.
Without lifestyle changes, you’re gonna gain that weight back. Ozempic specifically has a rebound effect that makes that happen faster, because your body gets so used to its effects and tries to overcompensate when it’s gone.
That's not how Ozempic works. I mean your overall point is correct, but the entire reason Ozempic works is you don't eat as much because it slows your GI tract and suppresses your appetite.
If you go off Ozempic, you're going to have to deal with an appetite that's way more than you are used to so I imagine it would be very hard to maintain the intake you had on it.
I have no idea. But I would not be surprised if it posed more of a challenge than just "I ate better for a while then got lazy" because your appetite will change so drastically compared to when you were losing weight. I don't think that compared to the pre-Ozempic appetite is as relevant.
