Why does protein matter on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound?
You eat less on a GLP-1, and when weight comes off quickly some of it can be muscle. Enough protein, with some strength work, helps keep it.
How do I eat that much protein when I am not hungry?
Put the protein first on every plate, eat it before the rest, and use small high-protein snacks like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs or a shake to close the gap.
