Why Protein Matters More Than Ever on GLPs
One of the biggest mistakes people make on GLP peptides is eating too little protein.
GLPs help reduce appetite, but they don't protect your muscle. During weight loss, your goal isn't just to lose weight—it's to lose fat while keeping lean muscle.
Quick Protein Formula
Goal Body Weight (lbs) × 1 = grams of protein per day
