GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound have been making waves in the field of weight management due to their effectiveness. However, experts caution that relying solely on these medications without making appropriate lifestyle changes may not lead to sustainable weight loss.

According to senior researcher Dr. JoAnn Manson from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, it is essential for individuals using GLP-1 drugs to make adjustments to their diet and exercise routine to maximize the benefits of the medication. In a recent publication in JAMA Internal Medicine, experts outlined specific recommendations to help individuals on GLP-1 meds achieve optimal results.

One key recommendation is to focus on preserving lean muscle mass while using GLP-1 drugs. It is suggested to include 20 to 30 grams of protein in each meal, with a daily target of 1.0 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight for moderately active individuals. Additionally, engaging in strength training exercises two to three times a week can help maintain muscle mass.

To address the appetite-suppressing effects of GLP-1 drugs, experts advise consuming smaller meals and snacks throughout the day to keep energy levels up. Choosing slow-digesting carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and oatmeal, as well as incorporating healthy fats like olive oil and avocado, can help individuals feel full longer and stabilize blood glucose levels.

A well-balanced, nutrient-dense diet is recommended to complement GLP-1 drug use, while avoiding restrictive diets that may lead to malnutrition. It is also crucial to stay hydrated, as GLP-1 drugs can cause dehydration. Drinking eight to 12 cups of water a day and consuming water-rich fruits and vegetables can help prevent dehydration.

In addition to dietary recommendations, experts offer strategies to manage gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with GLP-1 drugs. Tips include avoiding fried or processed fatty foods to ease nausea, eating smaller portions to reduce heartburn, and increasing fiber intake to alleviate constipation.

To maintain weight loss and overall health, experts emphasize the importance of regular exercise. In addition to strength training, individuals should aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.

In conclusion, while GLP-1 drugs offer significant benefits for weight management, incorporating lifestyle changes is crucial for long-term success. By following the expert recommendations outlined in the study, individuals can optimize their weight loss journey while minimizing side effects and promoting overall well-being.
