You’ve lost the weight. Now comes the harder part: keeping it off.
In this powerful follow-up to HPMR: High-Protein Metabolic Recomposition, Joe Regina turns to the stage most weight-loss plans barely address: maintenance.
The excitement of rapid progress eventually fades. The scale slows. Hunger, food noise, stress, travel, plateaus, and old habits begin testing the system you built. This is where temporary success either becomes a lasting lifestyle or slowly starts to unravel.
Drawing from his own experience with GLP-1 medication, strength training, metabolic recomposition, and the HPMR framework, Joe shows you how to move beyond simply losing weight and begin protecting the life, health, and confidence you worked so hard to build.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Find and adjust your true maintenance calorie range by treating yourself as the lab.
Use GLP-1 medications such as tirzepatide as a support tool, not the entire strategy.
Understand plateaus without panicking, overcorrecting, or abandoning what works.
Manage food noise, shifting identity, and the psychological pull of old habits.
Build resilience when motivation fades and perfection is impossible.
Audit your lifestyle before small changes turn into significant regain.
Anchor your long-term success in strength, structure, and meaningful non-scale victories.
Joe doesn’t promise shortcuts, effortless maintenance, or a life without setbacks.
What he offers is far more valuable: a practical blueprint for permanence.
With honesty, real-world experience, clear strategies, and the same grounded approach that shaped HPMR, GLP-1 Maintenance will help you recognize drift early, adapt when life changes, and protect your progress without living in constant fear of gaining it back.
Because weight loss is only one chapter.
Maintenance is the rest of the story.
Whether you’re approaching your goal, stuck in a long plateau, or already learning how to live at your new weight, this book will help you make the results last.
