Today we're going to talk about what to do if you were on Ozempik, you lost the weight and now you want to maintain the weight.

There's some huge benefits with Ozempik, but there's some huge problems too that you need to be aware of.

So OZM-P-1 agonist, now what does that mean?

Basically, it mimics a certain hormone in your small intestine.

That does like three things.

It increases insulin, which is automatically going to lower your blood sugar.

Number two, it's going to tell your brain you are totally full.

So your appetite goes away.

And that's interesting because, you know, if someone's trying to do a diet with an appetite,

it's literally torturous. So without the appetite, it makes things totally easy. So it has delayed gastric emptying, okay? So food sits in there a lot longer than it should and this is why you know there's a lot of side effects with your GI system.

You know my whole philosophy has always been get healthy then lose the weight versus lose weight and get healthy.

A lot of people will end up losing a lot of muscle mass, sometimes up to 50% of their muscle mass,

why they're also losing body fat. So that really actually leaves them with a

ratio of fat to muscle being not that good. So let's first talk about protein.

Why do we need protein? Well we need protein to keep our muscles strong and also we need muscle to keep our metabolism higher.

And so if you're trying to lose weight, let's say after menopause and you already have lost a lot of muscle.

Let's say you have atrophy. A lot of women lose muscle after menopause and then you do this

drug thing and you don't really have a lot of extra muscle despair you could see the problem.

So what you don't need is you don't need necessarily protein, you need amino acids,

okay that's the building block of protein we

want bioavailable protein so this is why I always recommend animal protein

high quality red meat eggs, things like that.
