GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy have changed the weight loss conversation. There is no denying their effectiveness when it comes to appetite suppression and scale weight loss.

But there is a critical piece most women are not being told.

Without the right nutrition and training strategy, weight loss on GLP-1s often includes significant muscle loss.

And that matters far more than most people realize.

Why Muscle Loss on GLP-1s Is a Big Problem

When appetite is dramatically reduced, protein intake usually drops with it. Strength training often falls off as energy decreases. Over time, the body does not just lose fat. It loses lean mass too.

Losing muscle slows your metabolism. That means when you eventually come off the medication, your body burns fewer calories than it did before you started. This is why so many women struggle to maintain results after stopping GLP-1s.

The medication works. The problem is what happens alongside it.

Weight Loss vs Metabolic Health

Weight loss alone is not the goal.
Fat loss while preserving muscle is.

Muscle is what keeps your metabolism healthy, your blood sugar stable, and your body strong. Without a plan to protect it, the weight loss comes at a cost.

That is why I spent the past year developing a protocol specifically for women using GLP-1 medications.

What a Smarter GLP-1 Strategy Looks Like

When GLP-1s are paired with the right approach, the results are dramatically different.

The 3-week jumpstart for GLP-1 clients focuses on:

• High protein intake, even when appetite is low, using strategic and realistic methods to hit protein needs
  
• Strength training, to preserve and build lean muscle
  
• Strategic meal timing, to work with the medication instead of fighting it
  
• Metabolic protection, so results are maintained long after the medication is reduced or discontinued
  

This is not about overriding hunger cues or forcing extreme behavior. It is about supporting the body while the medication does its job.

What I’ve Seen in Women on GLP-1s

After working with dozens of women on Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy, clear patterns emerged.

When nutrition and training are aligned:

• Women lose weight faster than with medication alone
  
• Muscle mass is preserved instead of sacrificed
  
• Strength improves rather than declines
  
• Eating becomes sustainable, not restrictive
  
• Confidence increases because the body feels capable, not fragile
  

The difference is not the medication. It is the strategy surrounding it.

Why Coaching Matters on GLP-1s

GLP-1 medications are powerful tools. But tools still need instruction.

If you are using a medication without guidance on protein, strength training, and metabolic health, you are missing a massive opportunity. You could be losing weight in a way that builds strength, protects your metabolism, and sets you up for long-term success.
