Maintaining muscle while on a weight loss journey is key for your overall health and progress. In this blog, we’ll share expert advice on how to incorporate more protein into your diet to support strength, recovery, and long-term health.
Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet. It's made up of molecules called amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks that help the human body repair, grow and maintain lean muscle mass during weight loss. The good news is that you can get all the protein you need from your diet.
GLP-1 medications can lead to a reduction in appetite. With a lower food intake, the risk of muscle mass loss is higher, so ensuring a high protein intake is crucial. Protein plays an important role in muscle preservation, supporting satiety, blood sugar regulation, immune functions and overall metabolic functions. Ensuring you eat enough daily protein will help to reduce the loss of lean muscle mass that typically results when using GLP-1 medications.
