GLP-1: What Is It and How Does It Support a Weight Reduction Program?

If you’ve been researching a weight loss program or a weight reduction plan, you may have come across the term “GLP-1.” But GLP-1—what is it, exactly? GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. Medications that mimic GLP-1 can support people on their weight reduction journey by helping them feel fuller longer, reduce cravings, and improve metabolic health. According to current research evidences, GLP-1 medications, when combined with a holistic weight loss plan, can lead to meaningful, sustainable weight reduction for many adults.

5 Ways to Stay on Track with Your Weight Loss Plan

Starting a weight loss program or a weight reduction program with GLP-1 can be empowering, but it’s normal to have questions about how to make the journey easier. Here are five real-life tips, inspired by our patients at GLĒO Wellness, to help you stay on track:

1. Keep Protein Snacks Handy

Having ready-to-eat protein snacks can make a big difference. Try keeping protein shakes, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese with hemp seeds on hand. These options support muscle health and help you feel satisfied between meals.

2. Manage Side Effects with Simple Strategies

Some people experience side effects like nausea when starting GLP-1 medications. Eating smaller, more frequent meals, staying hydrated, and adding fiber-rich foods (like berries or whole grains) can help ease discomfort.

3. Eat Slowly and Tune Into Your Body

GLP-1 medications may change your hunger cues. Take time to eat slowly, savor your food, and listen to your body’s signals. This mindful approach can help you recognize when you’re comfortably full.

4. Balance Your Plate for Lasting Energy

Aim to fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and a quarter with healthy carbohydrates. This balanced approach supports steady energy and helps you meet your nutrition goals.

5. Prioritize Hydration

Staying hydrated is essential for overall health and can help manage some side effects. Aim for 64–80 ounces of water daily. If plain water isn’t appealing, add a splash of citrus or a few fresh berries for flavor.
