When appetite returns after a pause, missed dose, dose change, or stopping a GLP-1, the useful question is not “am I failing?” It is “what changed, when, and how consistent is the trend?”
Clinical extension and withdrawal studies show that weight regain can occur after GLP-1 treatment stops. Appetite often changes before the scale trend is obvious, so a simple appetite log can catch the pattern early without overreacting to a single hungry day.
