The GLP-1 Side-Effect Solution: Nutrition & Muscle Preservation Guide

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy work — the trials are clear on that. What they don't do is protect your muscle while the weight comes off, and up to 40% of the weight lost in clinical trials was lean mass, not fat. This guide gives you the actual protein target (1.0-1.6g/kg, cited from clinical data, not a round-number guess), a resistance training plan sized to how much energy you actually have, food-based fixes for nausea/reflux/constipation/diarrhea that don't require willpower you don't have, and a "who should not do this without a doctor" page that's honest about when GI symptoms need a phone call instead of a food swap. Worth buying if you're on or starting one of these medications and want a plan more specific than "eat protein and don't lose muscle"; skip it if your prescriber or a dietitian has already built you one — this isn't a replacement for individualized medical advice, and it says so.
