📌 Main Topic: Are You Eating Enough on GLP-1s?

GLP-1s lower your appetite, which is great for weight loss. But eating too little can be a problem!

🚨 Why Eating Too Little is Bad

⚠️ You can lose muscle. If you don’t eat enough, your body may burn muscle instead of fat.
⚠️ You may feel weak or tired. Not eating enough can make you dizzy, cranky, or foggy-brained.
⚠️ Your metabolism may slow down. Eating too little tells your body to save energy, making weight loss harder later.

✅ How Much Should You Eat?

• Protein: Try to eat 0.8-1g per pound of your goal body weight to keep your muscles strong.

• Calories: Women should eat at least 1400 calories a day, men 1700+ (depending on activity).

• Electrolytes: Drink water with salt, potassium, or magnesium to stay hydrated and avoid dizziness.

🍽 Easy Ways to Eat More (Even When Not Hungry)

✅ Drink Your Calories: Smoothies, shakes, and soups are easy to drink when you’re not hungry.
✅ Eat Small, Protein-Packed Meals: Eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and chicken are good choices.
✅ Eat the Important Foods First: Protein & healthy fats should come first in your meals.
✅ Set Reminders to Eat: Even if you’re not hungry, eating enough keeps your body strong.

📢 Try This: Write down what you eat for 3 days. If you’re eating under 1000 calories, it’s time to add more food!
