GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are powerful tools for weight loss… but there’s something we don’t talk about enough.
MUSCLE LOSS
When appetite drops, it becomes MUCH easier to under-eat — especially protein. And that can lead to loss of lean muscle mass, which affects:
• Strength
• Metabolism
• Long-term weight maintenance
💡 The goal isn’t just weight loss — it’s healthy, sustainable fat loss
✔️ Prioritise protein
✔️ Keep meals consistent (even if smaller)
✔️ Include resistance training
✔️ Focus on quality, not just quantity
Your body still needs fuel — even if you don’t feel hungry.
👩⚕️ Our dietitian Valpre had the opportunity to speak at an event alongside our two amazing physicians at Louis Leipoldt Hospital, Dr Boer and Dr Sunnyraj, where they discussed GLP-1 medication and obesity management.
📩 If you’re on GLP-1 therapy and unsure what to eat — we can help guide you.
