Adequate protein intake is absolutely non-negotiable for those on GLP-1 therapy. Protein helps preserve muscle mass while the body loses fat, which is very important during weight loss.
At the same time, excessive protein intake is not always better. Several studies suggest that very high protein intake can increase pressure within the kidney’s filtering units (nephrons), which may place stress on the kidneys over time.
This is why guidance matters. Working with a doctor trained in obesity medicine can help you choose the right amount of protein from healthy sources, ensuring effective weight loss while preserving muscle and protecting overall health.
Pengambilan protein yang mencukupi adalah sangat penting bagi mereka yang menggunakan terapi GLP-1 receptor agonists. Protein membantu mengekalkan j***m otot semasa proses penurunan berat badan, kerana badan sedang kehilangan lemak.
Namun begitu, pengambilan protein yang terlalu tinggi juga tidak semestinya lebih baik. Beberapa kajian menunjukkan bahawa protein yang terlalu banyak boleh meningkatkan tekanan dalam unit penapisan buah pinggang (nefron), yang berpotensi memberi tekanan kepada buah pinggang dalam jangka masa panjang.
Oleh itu, bimbingan perubatan sangat penting. Mendapatkan nasihat daripada doktor yang terlatih dalam bidang obesiti boleh membantu menentukan jumlah protein yang sesuai daripada sumber yang sihat, supaya penurunan berat badan dapat dicapai sambil mengekalkan otot dan melindungi kesihatan buah pinggang.
