"Exercise's Role in Sustaining Weight Loss Post-Medication Revealed in New Study"
New weight-loss drugs can be effective in helping people lose weight, but many users quit within a year, leading to weight regain and metabolic health issues. A study suggests that exercising while using weight-loss drugs can help maintain weight loss and muscle mass after quitting the medication. Participants who combined the drug with exercise lost more weight and maintained a healthier body composition. The study recommends about two hours a week of vigorous exercise to stave off weight regain after stopping the drug, emphasizing the importance of adding exercise to a weight-loss drug regimen for long-term success.
