The Truth Behind the Weight-Loss Shot (GLP-1)
If you’ve thought about, or are currently taking a GLP-1 (the weight-loss shot) such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound, the truth is, you will need to start dialing in on your daily nutrient targets, in order to sustain progress, and see the results you’re looking to achieve. Without these targets in place, your body will not receive the adequate nutrition needed to lose weight, build muscle, and/or simply have enough energy to fuel your day to day. Don’t believe us? Check out this success story…
Scott recently lost a LOT of weight, which is amazing, but his body was also eating away at his lean muscle mass in the process. He was not supplying his body with enough fuel to sustain his newfound energetic lifestyle and workouts, so he was set up with his personalized nutrient targets to reach each day and is now crushing it, looking and feeling better than ever!
Here are the primary targets dialed in for him...
Basal Metabolic Rate = What your body burns at rest, positively impacted by amount of muscle mass present
Estimated Total Intake = How many calories you need a day to reach your goals
% Carbohydrates = Total carbs needed each day to sustain energy levels
% Protein = Total protein needed each day to maintain or build muscle
% Fat = Total fat needed each day to provide energy and support
Fluids (fl. oz. per day) = How much water you need each day to sustain your lifestyle, exercise, and support cellular health
Fiber (≥ g) = To help maintain gut motility, keep you fuller longer, and help keep cholesterol and blood sugar levels in check
Saturated fat = Your daily limit on animal fats as well as palm and coconut oil to keep cholesterol levels in check
Added sugar = Your daily limit on excess refined sugar intake to keep blood sugar levels stable
If you want to start or continue changing your health, it’s a must that you dial these numbers in. If you would like us to do the legwork for you in creating the plan, just book a free consultation and we will gladly get you set up from there.
