This rebound is a normal physiological response, not a personal failure, and can be managed through evidence-based strategies including increased protein intake, resistant starch foods, structured meal timing, and regular physical activity appropriate for your pregnancy-planning phase

Semaglutide Clinical Data The STEP trial program represents the most comprehensive clinical evaluation of any GLP-1 receptor agonist for weight management: STEP 1: 14.9% mean body weight loss over 68 weeks (Wilding et al., NEJM , 2021) STEP 3: 16.0% with intensive behavioral therapy over 68 weeks STEP 5: Sustained 15.2% weight loss maintained at 104 weeks with continued treatment SELECT trial: Demonstrated 20% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death) in addition to weight loss, establishing cardiovascular benefit (Lincoff et al., NEJM , 2023) The SELECT trial result is particularly significant because it demonstrated that semaglutide provides cardiovascular protection independent of weight loss, a benefit that has not been established for tesofensine

Semaglutide or Tirzepatide: GLP-1 receptor agonists work through entirely different mechanisms (appetite suppression, glucose regulation, delayed gastric emptying) compared to AOD-9604s direct lipolytic effects
Plant-based choices such as tofu, lentils, and other legume options add protein along with fiber, which can support digestion and fullness
While many side effects alleviate over time, some require closer monitoring and treatment
