3 things to do if you are on a GLP-1

If you’re on a GLP-1 or considering one, here’s what you need to understand…Weight loss without a plan to protect muscle will cost you your metabolism.

GLP-1s can reduce appetite, but they can also lead to muscle loss if you’re not intentional and muscle is what keeps your metabolism strong, your body resilient, and your results sustainable.

Here are the three non-negotiables:
1️⃣ Resistance training. Even 2 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes can make a meaningful difference in preserving muscle.

2️⃣ Protein intake. Aim for about 0.7 to 1 gram per pound of your target body weight to support muscle maintenance and recovery.

3️⃣ Support muscle protein synthesis. Targeted supplementation like @yolkedstrong Fortetropin can help signal your body to hold onto lean muscle while you’re losing weight.

The goal isn’t just to lose weight.
It’s to lose fat while keeping the muscle that protects your metabolism.
