Cost shouldn't undo your progress.
For a lot of people, the off-ramp is not a choice, it is a price. If cost is ending your GLP-1, the goal is to protect what you achieved. There are clinician-guided options worth knowing about (a lower or less-frequent maintenance dose may preserve much of the benefit), and there is a lot you control for free: protein, strength, sleep, and habits.
Educational only. This is educational, not medical advice. Everyone's body responds differently. Talk to your clinician before starting, stopping, changing, or tapering any medication, and work with your physician and a registered dietitian to personalize your approach.
What you're up against
Stopping cold can mean a sharp rebound
Abrupt cessation tends to bring the fastest regain. Knowing this lets you plan with your clinician instead of being caught off guard.
There may be middle options
Research suggests a lower or less-frequent maintenance dose can preserve a large share of the weight loss. Whether that fits you is a clinician decision.
Microdosing is not the shortcut it sounds like
Ultra-low, sub-approved doses are not a recommended practice and lack evidence. The evidence-based paths are clinician-guided tapering or reduced-frequency dosing.
The free levers are powerful
Protein, resistance training, sleep, and early tracking are the strongest evidence-based tools for keeping weight off, and they cost nothing.
