A weight-loss programme designed to end

Plain weight-loss programmes hand over the medication and watch the scale fall. It does fall. The question no one asks is what happens when you stop — and without a plan for that, the weight tends to come back.

We call ours the GetLean GLP-1 Taper Plan, and the programme is built around three things working together: a doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication as the catalyst, daily WhatsApp coaching that builds the habits — protein, strength work, a sustainable pace — and a taper planned from the first consult toward your lowest effective dose and, where clinically appropriate, off the medication. That is what “getting lean” means here: weight loss that holds. It is why the programme is designed to end.

The reasoning behind that, with the trial evidence it rests on, is set out across our articles and guides.

There is no clinic to visit. Consultations happen over secure two-way video with Dr Quek, medication is delivered to you, and your care team is reachable on WhatsApp from 9am to 9pm every day, Singapore time. Outside those hours an urgent symptom does not wait for a reply: go to an emergency department, or call 995 if it is an emergency. How the whole process runs is on the how it works page, and what it costs is on the pricing page.
