Attention!

To all GLP-1 and peptide users, you can't escape drinking water, working out, and eating cleaner. Sorry!

If You're Taking GLP-1 Drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro), You Must Do These 10 Things

1. Prioritize Protein (Non-Negotiable)

GLP-1s kill appetite, so people under-eat protein and lose muscle. Target: 0.8–1.0g per lb of bodyweight.

2. Lift Weights 3–5x Per Week

Weight loss without resistance training equals "skinny fat." Focus on compound lifts and progressive overload.

3. Eat on a Schedule (Not Just When Hungry)

You won't feel hunger, but that doesn't mean your body doesn't need fuel. Structure = discipline over appetite.

4. Hydrate Aggressively

GLP-1s slow digestion, so dehydration risk goes up. Target: 3–4+ liters daily.

5. Electrolytes Matter More Than You Think

Low food intake means low sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Replenishing them prevents fatigue, headaches, and performance drops.

6. Don't Fear Carbs (Use Them Strategically)

Going too low carb means low energy and poor workouts. Best timing: post-workout for recovery and performance.

7. Walk Daily (10–12k Steps Minimum)

GLP-1s reduce spontaneous movement (NEAT drops). Walking keeps fat loss moving without stress.

8. Watch Your Digestion

Slower gastric emptying means bloating and constipation. Add fiber (veggies, chia, flax) and fermented foods (kimchi, yogurt).

9. Sleep = Fat Loss Multiplier

Poor sleep means muscle loss and hormonal issues. Target: 7–8 hours minimum.

10. Cycle or Plan Your Exit Strategy

These are tools, not forever solutions. Have a plan to maintain weight, transition to normal eating, and keep your habits locked in.

Bonus Truth Most People Ignore

GLP-1 users who don't lift and eat protein properly lose significant muscle mass, not just fat.
