Can meal delivery and an app stop the rebound weight gain after GLP-1s?
NCT ID NCT06273163
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether medically tailored meals and a behavioral app (Noom) could help people maintain weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications like Wegovy. It enrolled 39 adults who had lost at least 10% of their body weight on GLP-1s and had stopped the drug within the past month. The trial was terminated early, so findings are limited.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- medically tailored meals and a behavioral mobile app (Noom)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point to cheaper, sustainable ways to maintain weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early with only 39 participants, so results are limited. It is not a treatment for obesity itself, only a maintenance strategy.
