Top 5 Tips for Maximizing Results While on a GLP-1
GLP-1 medications are powerful tools that can help reduce appetite, regulate blood sugar, and support weight loss. But while they’re effective on their own, pairing them with the right habits will take your results to the next level. At Bio-tique, we believe in combining science with lifestyle changes that set you up for long-term success. Here are our top 5 tips to get the most out of your GLP-1 journey:
1. Prioritize Protein
Protein helps preserve lean muscle mass while you lose weight and keeps you feeling full longer. Aim for a source of protein at every meal—think eggs, lean meats, Greek yogurt, beans, or protein shakes. A simple rule of thumb: about 30 grams of protein per meal is a great target for most people.
2. Stay Hydrated
GLP-1s can sometimes slow digestion, which means drinking plenty of water is key. Staying hydrated supports digestion, energy levels, and overall health. Carry a water bottle with you and aim for 64+ ounces daily.
3. Move Your Body
Exercise not only supports weight loss but also boosts mood, energy, and cardiovascular health. Focus on a mix of strength training (to protect muscle) and low-impact cardio (like walking, swimming, or cycling). Even small, consistent efforts add up!
4. Practice Portion Awareness
Because GLP-1s reduce appetite, it’s easy to undereat—or sometimes overeat if you ignore fullness cues. Listen to your body and eat mindfully. Smaller, balanced meals throughout the day often work best.
5. Stay Consistent with Healthy Habits
GLP-1s are a tool, not a magic fix. Building a foundation of healthy habits—like meal planning, stress management, and good sleep—helps ensure your results last long after medication use. Think of GLP-1s as the boost that helps you create the lifestyle you’ve been striving for.
