Quick Answer: Success on GLP-1 medications requires a protein-first, fiber-rich eating strategy with 80-120g protein daily (20-35g per meal), 25-38g fiber, moderate healthy fats, and smaller, more frequent meals to manage side effects
Research application: body composition studies, sarcopenia models, or prolonged anabolic stimulus protocols where maximum IGF-1 saturation is the goal
Caution: May interact with medications that affect blood sugar or are metabolized by the liver, so monitor for additive effects
