‼️If you’re taking GLP-1s like semaglutide, tirzepatide, or considering retatrutide, there are TWO things you need to prioritize‼️
Eating enough protein and strength training! ☝🏼
Yes, these drugs work really well for weight loss, even without proper nutrition or exercise.
But here’s the problem‼️
You’re not just losing fat. You’re also losing muscle, potentially a significant amount!
Lately, it’s becoming concerning how casually these drugs are being used and talked about. Everyone celebrates how quickly the weight comes off, but how much of that is actually FAT?
What about your muscle, strength, bone health, and body composition, especially for women as we get older?
Losing weight quickly doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting healthier!
And what happens if you stop taking the medication?
Weight regain is common, especially without better habits in place.
And if you’ve lost significant muscle, you could end up with a higher body fat percentage than when you started. 🔔
Do you have a plan for maintaining your results long term?
I’m NOT against GLP-1s! I think they can be a great tool for the RIGHT person.
But I’ve also had clients lose 80 to 100 pounds WITHOUT weight loss medications. It absolutely can be done with consistent training, proper nutrition, and better daily habits.
That doesn’t mean everyone needs the same approach, but the fundamentals still matter!
Whether you’re using medication or not, prioritize weight training, eat enough protein, and build habits you can maintain long term🙏🏼
The goal isn’t just a lower number on the scale. It’s to lose FAT, preserve muscle, support your bone health, and improve your overall health! 💪🏼
And most importantly, have a plan for KEEPING your results, not just losing the weight! ❤️
