🔕 Appetite has left the chat.
If you’re on a weekly GLP-1 injection, you know the feeling. Smaller plates, skipped meals, “I’m just not hungry.” That’s the medication doing its job.
Here’s the catch: your appetite got quieter, but your body still needs the same things. Remember the P and S in H.E.L.P.S.™? This is the deeper dive.
🥚 Protein first, every plate. A common goal is about 1.2 g per kg of your goal weight. At 60 kg, that’s around 70 g a day, roughly a dozen eggs’ worth. Mix it up: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fish, chicken, tofu. 💪 Protein alone won’t hold on to muscle. Pair it with resistance exercise: squats, bands, wall push-ups. ☀️ Vitamin D is the one most often reported low. 🔴 B12 needs a closer look if you also take metformin or eat little meat or dairy. 🪨 Magnesium can help when constipation shows up. 💧 Sip water all day, especially when your stomach is upset.
Not everyone needs a supplement. The right next step depends on what you’re actually eating, your other medications, and how you’re feeling. That’s a conversation, not a shelf.
Bring your med list (and honestly, what you ate yesterday 😅) and talk to your pharmacist at your next refill. No appointment needed 💚
Can’t keep fluids down, losing weight very fast, constantly exhausted, losing hair, or tingling in your hands or feet? See your doctor.
