GLP-1 weight loss injections such as Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro have been dominating headlines - and for good reason. Many people have seen impressive results, including significant weight loss, reduced appetite and quieter food noise.
We want to be clear from the start:
we’re not against GLP-1 jabs.
We’ve seen how successful people can be on them, and for some, they’ve been genuinely life-changing.
But there’s a vital question that doesn’t get talked about enough:
GLP-1 medications work by mimicking gut hormones that:
suppress appetite
slow digestion
increase feelings of fullness
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) goes one step further by acting on two hormone pathways instead of one - which is why weight loss results can be even greater.
But the key issue is the same across all of them:
When the injections stop, the effects stop.
Research shows that once people come off GLP-1 drugs:
hunger returns
food noise comes back
weight regain is common, and often rapid
This isn’t a lack of discipline.
It’s because these medications manage symptoms - appetite and intake - rather than addressing the underlying metabolic and lifestyle drivers.
For many people, that leads to one unavoidable conclusion:
There is no real “after” Wegovy, Ozempic or Mounjaro - unless you stay on them long term.
In practice, these jabs are often a lifelong treatment if results are to be maintained.
GLP-1 injections are a medical intervention designed primarily for appetite suppression.
A ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle, on the other hand, works on a much deeper level — your metabolism, hormones and overall health.
Yes, keto helps with hunger and food noise - but that’s just the beginning.
A well-formulated keto or low-carb diet can support:
Stable blood sugar and insulin levels
Improved insulin sensitivity (particularly important for PCOS, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes)
Reduced inflammation
Improved energy and mental clarity
Better digestion and gut health for many people
Reduced cravings and binge-restrict cycles
Unlike GLP-1 jabs, keto doesn’t rely on artificially suppressing appetite. Instead, it helps your body naturally regulate hunger by fuelling it with fats and proteins that keep you satisfied.
That means:
fewer spikes and crashes
less constant thinking about food
more consistent, sustainable control
And those benefits don’t disappear when you stop “being strict”.
When someone stops taking a GLP-1 jab without changing how they eat, they return to the same high-carb, ultra-processed food environment that caused the problem in the first place.
That’s why weight regain is so common.
Keto changes the foundation:
you fuel your body differently
insulin and blood sugar are more stable
hunger becomes manageable rather than relentless
food stops running your life
Instead of relying on weekly injections to stay in control, you’re building a lifestyle that supports long-term health and independence - without ongoing prescriptions or pharmaceutical costs.
For some people, GLP-1 jabs can be a useful starting tool:
they reduce overwhelm
give people breathing space
make lifestyle change feel possible
But long-term success comes when those tools are paired with a sustainable way of eating.
Because while there is Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro…
there is no after them without lifestyle change.
