Calorie & Protein

Managing calorie and protein intake is crucial for those on GLP-1s to maintain muscle mass and support weight loss. Sal Di Stefano emphasizes the importance of not dropping below 1500 calories to prevent muscle loss, suggesting a reverse dieting approach to gradually increase caloric intake after hitting a plateau 1. He advises focusing on protein intake through simple methods, such as using protein powders and essential amino acids, to ensure adherence 2.

I wouldn't want you to go below 1500. I would want to continue to strength train. Hit your protein targets. Once you plateau, you're going to want to fight the urge to go lower with your calories.

--- Sal Di Stefano

Adam Schafer agrees, noting that maintaining protein targets is essential even when appetite is suppressed by GLP-1s 1.

   

Patient Support

Supporting patients between visits is vital for sustained progress, especially when appointments are infrequent. Sal Di Stefano suggests providing patients with reference materials, podcasts, and handouts to guide them in their journey 3. Adam Schafer proposes creating a community support system, such as a Facebook group, where patients can share experiences and resources 4.

I like the idea of one, two big things. But then you can have the FAQ, you know, if this go to here. Watch these resources.

--- Adam Schafer

This approach not only aids patient progress but also enhances the coach's reputation and potential client base 4.
