Maintenance & long-term support

Losing Weight Is One Phase.Keeping It Off Is the Plan.

Many patients can lose weight for a season. The real challenge is maintaining results when appetite, stress, routines, motivation, or access to medication changes. Clinic 45 helps patients prepare for the long run.

Why maintenance matters

Weight regain is common when the plan ends too abruptly

A maintenance strategy helps patients transition from active weight loss into a rhythm they can keep living with.

When to start

Start before you hit your goal weight

The earlier you understand what your body needs to maintain, the less likely you are to feel lost after the active phase. If you are reducing or stopping medication, your provider can help you plan for appetite changes, food structure, protein, movement, and follow-up care.

Three phases: active weight loss; maintenance planning, which starts when you are 10 to 15 lbs from your goal; and ongoing maintenance once you reach your goal weight.
