Using a GLP-1 medication? Here’s what you should know.
GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools for weight loss. But medication alone isn’t a complete plan.
Without proper lifestyle support, many people may experience:
⚠️ Loss of lean body mass (muscle)
⚠️ Slower metabolism (worsened BMR)
⚠️ Blood sugar challenges
⚠️ GI discomfort leading to stopping the medication
⚠️ Higher risk of weight regain
This is often called the GLP-1 care gap — where a prescription is given, but the education, structure, and ongoing support are missing.
That’s where Ideal Protein and Charlies Weight Control come in.
We help bridge that gap by providing:
💚 Structured, science-based nutrition
💚 Adequate protein to help protect lean muscle during weight loss
💚 Support for blood glucose balance
💚 Targeted supplementation for micro- and macronutrient needs
💚 One-on-one coaching and education for long-term success
GLP-1s can reduce appetite — but they don’t teach sustainable habits. They don’t automatically preserve muscle. And they don’t replace metabolic education.
With the right guidance, you can:
✔️ Protect your metabolism
✔️ Support muscle mass
✔️ Improve long-term results
✔️ Reduce the risk of regain
Medication can be a tool.
Lifestyle is the foundation.
If you’re currently on a GLP-1 — or considering one — let’s talk about how to support your body properly and set you up for lasting success.
