Transcript: "Are you in a plateau on your GLP-1 weight loss journey? Hi, I'm Dr. Ali, an obesity medicine physician, and I want to talk to you a little bit about plateaus on GLP-1 agonists, because they're going to happen, just like a plateau not on a GLP-1 agonist. What happens though is sometimes people think, well, I'm on this medication, I shouldn't be having plateaus. So here's one of the top things that you can think about on your journey. The name of the game is to limit the number of plateaus, because you are going to have some plateaus, and plateaus are not a bad thing. They actually allow your body to equilibrate. But the name of the game, do you know what it is? Maintaining your muscle mass. When we maintain our muscle mass, we maintain our basal metabolic rate. When you maintain your basal metabolic rate, you're going to continue to burn energy. Okay, so maintaining our muscle comes down to several different things, but the two that are super important are going to be your nutrition and your exercise, particularly strength training, I can tell you right now that the thought that GLP-1 medications cause muscle mass loss - not accurate. The medication does not cause the loss. The medication causes the decrease in appetite, which makes people not want to eat their protein, And then potentially also, right, if you're not doing strength training, you're going to lose muscle mass. It can be up to 25% in fact. There are two simple ways you can start to think about maintaining your muscle mass so that you can prevent future plateaus or shorten the length of the plateau. Protein. Protein in your nutrition. Do you know how much to eat because this is super important and it is dependent on your age and on your height and on your body type and a lot of different things. So knowing this what I can tell you is the average woman is going to need about three servings a day, about 100 grams, average man about four servings, 120 grams, that's average for muscle maintenance Strength training 10 minutes, three days a week. Yes you can maintain muscle mass, strength training, 10 minutes, three days a week. It is possible. By doing those two things, you are going to ensure that you're maintaining your muscle mass on your GLP-1 weight loss journey, and you're going to be less likely to be in a very prolonged plateau. Remember, some plateaus are going to happen, and plateaus are not bad. Now, the other thing, one more thing I want to show you, this is super important, is the following. How are you measuring your progress? If you're just weighing yourself on a traditional scale, it's time to upgrade. Now I have no financial relationship, although I should. However, it is super important that you are tracking your muscle mass and your body fat mass. I actually don't care what you weigh. I care about your muscle and I care about your body fat mass. So how are you measuring? This is going to be super useful when we're talking about evaluating plateaus and how to prevent very prolonged plateaus. So go ahead, eat your protein, and lift your weights, and get your in body. All right, we'll talk soon." #glp1 #muscle #fitness #health #healthylifestyle #doctor Dr. Ali Novitsky (Obesity Medicine Doctor, Life Coach, and Fitness Expert) will not only help you achieve your fitness goals, but also inspire and motivate you along the way.
