Science-backed guides on GLP-1 medications — weight loss expectations, nutrition strategies, costs, and how to maximize your results on Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.
Clinical trials show 10–15% body weight loss over 68 weeks — but real-world results vary significantly. We break down STEP trial data, week-by-week timelines, and the factors that determine whether you hit 10% or 20%+ loss.
GLP-1 medications suppress appetite so effectively that muscle loss becomes a real risk. Learn why protein is critical, how much you actually need (minimum 1.2g/kg, optimal 1.6–2.0g/kg), and how to hit your targets when you can barely eat.
Ozempic's list price is $935/month for 1mg — but most people pay far less. We cover GoodRx discounts, Novo Nordisk savings programs, compounded semaglutide ($145–250/month), telehealth options, and international pharmacies.
