What NICE is saying and why it matters

New guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) highlights a growing concern: many people regain weight within months of stopping drugs like Mounjaro or Wegovy if they don’t have the right support in place.

The advice, aimed at GPs and NHS providers, recommends building long-term habits around healthy eating, exercise, self-monitoring, and using external support including online communities like SlimrChat.

“People should be supported through the behaviour change process and to maintain their weight loss over the long term,” NICE states.

It’s what we’ve been saying all along

At SlimrChat, we know Mounjaro is a powerful reset but it’s not magic. Without a clear plan, routine, and ongoing motivation, many people find the weight starts to creep back.

We’ve said it before:

🔗 Life after weight loss drugs — here’s what to expect

You’ll need to build healthier habits that stick, whether it’s:

• Tracking your food

• Walking more each week

• Cooking more meals at home

• Checking in with supportive communities like ours

The good news is, we have it all covered here at Slimrchat.com.

The SlimrChat view

This guidance is a step in the right direction. It acknowledges what many of us already know: long-term success doesn’t end with the jab. It starts there.

Whether you’re still on Mounjaro, coming off it, or planning ahead, SlimrChat is here to support you through it all. Together, we’ve got this.
