Research consistently shows that people who prioritize protein on GLP-1 medications lose more fat and less muscle than those who do not

Injectable GLP-1s are delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver and resulting in a longer duration of action, while oral semaglutide is broken down more quickly and must be taken daily at a higher dose for comparable effects

Aim for 25 to 35 grams daily from food sources like vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, supplemented as needed

For the side effect models, we focused on the two phenotypes for which GWAS SNPs were identified (Supplementary Table 21)
