Medical Weight Loss

Maintain Muscle Mass and Get the Nutrients You Need

GLP-1-based medications for weight loss, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, have helped many people achieve significant weight loss. These medications work by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing appetite, often leading to a lower calorie intake.

However, when eating less, it is important to ensure that the body continues to receive the nutrients it needs. Rapid weight loss and a substantially reduced food intake may increase the risk of inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals, as well as loss of muscle mass.

Preserve muscle mass during weight loss
Research shows that part of the weight lost during medical weight loss treatment may come from muscle mass. Muscle mass is important for strength, physical function, and metabolism, and losing muscle mass can make it more difficult to maintain weight loss in the long term.
Adequate protein intake combined with physical activity and resistance training can help preserve muscle mass during weight loss.

Pay attention to vitamins and minerals
When food intake is reduced, the intake of essential nutrients also decreases. Studies have shown that individuals undergoing medical weight loss treatment may be at increased risk of inadequate intake of, among others: Vitamin D, Iron, B vitamins and Calcium. These nutrients play an important role in energy metabolism, immune function, muscle function, and bone health.

Nutrition is an important part of treatment
Successful weight loss is not only about how many kilograms are lost, but also about what is preserved.
Therefore, experts recommend an increased focus on protein, vitamins, and minerals as a natural part of a medical weight loss programme.
