A three-month specialist dietitian programme designed to help you taper or come off your medication without regaining the weight you’ve worked so hard to lose.
Each round is physically and psychologically exhausting, each regain deepens a feeling of failure, and that feeling so often drives people straight back into the same cycle of restriction and rebound eating. Stopping a GLP-1 without support can easily become the next round of that cycle. Appetite Reset exists to help you break it.
Obesity isn’t a long-standing feature of human biology. It has emerged rapidly over the past fifty years and is rising across the world, with adult obesity more than doubling globally since 1990. Our biology hasn’t changed in that time, but our environment has, dramatically. Human bodies evolved to hold on to energy when food was scarce, and they now live surrounded by cheap, highly palatable food, sedentary work, poor sleep and constant stress.
That mismatch is why weight is so hard to manage, and why it has never been a simple matter of willpower.
GLP-1 medications work partly by dampening your appetite signals. When that effect is removed, particularly if treatment stops suddenly, appetite doesn’t simply return to where it was. It often rebounds with force, into the same environment that made weight loss difficult in the first place.
Regain doesn’t mean the treatment failed. It means the biology behind the weight gain is still there, and it needs a plan.
Obesity is closely linked with insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, and together they multiply the risk to your health. The improvements many people see on a GLP-1, in blood sugar, blood pressure and energy, can revert when treatment stops. Appetite Reset is designed to protect all of it.
This is the stage where nutrition matters most. Skipping meals or under-eating increases the risk of rebound hunger and feeling out of control around food. Physical activity is protective too, and adequate protein alongside resistance training helps preserve the muscle that supports your metabolism.
Appetite Reset works for all three stages. Your first consultation establishes where you are, and your plan is built from there.
Build your foundations while your appetite is still quiet, so the taper itself is much steadier.
Manage returning hunger and food noise as they appear, with your plan adjusted at each step.
Noticed hunger or weight starting to return. Stabilise your appetite and build a plan you can hold.
Your 60-minute initial consultation covers your GLP-1 history, dose and side effects, your weight history, your medical conditions and medications, and your most recent blood results, so we can identify your specific risk factors for regain from the start.
As your dose comes down, your hunger and fullness signals shift, and your eating needs to change with them. Your plan is adjusted at each stage using meal timing, protein distribution, fibre and food volume, with a balanced way of eating built around your preferences, culture and routine.
You’ll learn to recognise true hunger, fullness and cravings, and respond to them with confidence as the medication is withdrawn.
If you’re living with insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes or PCOS, your plan is shaped around blood glucose control as well as weight, and we’ll track the health markers that matter for you.
Weight loss on GLP-1 medication can include a loss of muscle. Your plan sets protein targets specific to your body and works alongside resistance training to help preserve it.
Months of eating less on medication can leave shortfalls in protein, fibre and key vitamins and minerals. I’ll advise on whether any supplements are clinically indicated for you, and help you avoid products that promise to replace your medication without evidence.
We’ll work on your food environment at home and at work, social events, travel, stress and the support around you, because these are where regain usually starts.
Your 30-minute appointments, face to face in Northwest London or online, review your weight, symptoms and appetite every two weeks, so early signs of regain are caught and acted on quickly.
Replies within 12 hours, because difficult weeks rarely fall on appointment days.
You’ll know exactly what to do if the scales start to move, so a small change stays small.
I’m Sara Hausmann, an HCPC-registered dietitian with 15 years of specialist experience in obesity and metabolic health. “Registered Dietitian” is a legally protected title in the UK, and at a stage where your medication, blood results and eating all need to be considered together, that level of expertise matters. I always work alongside your prescribing doctor, never around them.
A short, no-pressure conversation with Sara to talk through where you are and whether working together feels like the right next step.
If you’ve spent years struggling with your weight, you’ve probably tried plenty of things already, but something still isn’t working. Before committing to anything, it helps to speak to the person you’d be working with.
I’m Sara Hausmann, a Registered Dietitian with 15 years of specialist experience. This is your chance to tell me what’s been happening, what you’ve tried and what feels hardest right now. I’ll listen without judgement, and without assuming you haven’t tried hard enough.
Good to know: This is an informal conversation to get to know each other, not a clinical appointment. I won’t be giving individual dietary advice or a treatment plan during the call. That work begins in your Initial Consultation, where we take a full hour to understand your health history and build a plan around you.
There’s no cost and no obligation to book anything afterwards. Whether you’re ready to start or still weighing things up, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
Start with a free, no-pressure 10-minute call to talk through where you are and whether the programme feels like a good fit.
No, and it’s often the best time to start. Building your foundations while appetite is still quiet makes the taper much steadier.
Not at all. We’ll focus on stabilising your appetite, understanding what’s driving the regain, and building a plan you can hold on your own.
Dosing decisions stay with your prescriber. My role is to support your nutrition, appetite and habits through each stage, working alongside your doctor.
That’s what the free 10-minute clarity call is for. It’s a relaxed conversation about where you are and whether the programme feels like a good fit, with no pressure to book.
This isn’t a generic contact form. Share a little about what’s going on and I’ll come back to you personally within 12 hours to answer your questions and, if it feels like a fit, walk you through the next steps.
