Boost your protein intake with these easy, delicious recipes designed for people on GLP-1 medications. Stay strong, energized, and satisfied with muscle-building protein every meal!
If you're on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, you’re likely focused on weight loss and better health. These medications help by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, making it easier to eat less. However, one thing you don’t want to lose is muscle.
Since GLP-1 medications can lead to both fat and muscle loss, getting enough protein is essential. Protein helps preserve muscle, keeps energy levels stable, and supports a healthy metabolism. If you're looking for easy, high-protein recipes to help you hit your daily goals and keep muscle mass, we’ve got a few that can help you.
