GLP 1 injections like Mounjaro are powerful.
But how you support your body while using them matters just as much as the medication itself.
Many people focus only on weight loss.
But what about muscle mass?
Nutrient intake?
Metabolic health?
Long term sustainability?
If these are not addressed, you risk losing more than just body fat and setting yourself up for rebound weight gain later on.
If you are using, or considering using, GLP 1 based medications, here are some key principles to focus on:
Prioritise protein to protect muscle mass
Maintain resistance training to support metabolism
Support micronutrient intake
Avoid under eating long term
Focus on long term habits, not just short term results
Use the medication as a tool, not a solution
Used correctly, these medications can be incredibly effective.
Used without structure, they can create new problems.
If you want to get the most from this approach and protect your long term health, I have broken this down in more detail in my article. Find the link in my story.
