Information — OurGLP1

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a natural gut hormone released after you eat. GLP-1 medicines amplify this signal to:

• help your pancreas release insulin when glucose is high,
• quiet excess glucagon (reduces liver sugar release), and
• slow stomach emptying (you feel full sooner, for longer).

That combo lowers appetite, improves post-meal blood sugar spikes, and supports steady weight loss.

Good to know: fullness and slower digestion are intended effects, but they’re also why some people feel “sloshy,” burpy, or a bit nauseated at first.

Your GI tract needs time to adapt. Jumping straight to a higher dose can cause:

• nausea or vomiting,
• bloating, heartburn, or constipation,
• low energy from under-eating.

Best practice: start low, go slow, and wait at least 4 weeks between dose increases. If side effects spike, pause at the current dose (or step down) and stabilize.

Small meal tips: eat slowly, stop at “satisfied not stuffed,” and avoid heavy, greasy meals on injection day.

Fasting isn’t about eating as little as possible—it’s about when you eat. A consistent 12–16 h fasting window can:

• smooth appetite (pairs well with GLP-1 fullness),
• improve insulin sensitivity,
• simplify your routine (fewer decisions).

Choose a window you can repeat most days (e.g., 8 pm → 12 pm). On tough days, a shorter fast still counts.

Gentle start: begin with 12 h for a week, then move toward 14–16 h as ready.

GLP-1s and fasting can blunt thirst cues. Aim for steady fluids through the day. If you notice headaches, fatigue, dizziness, or muscle cramps, add electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium).

Targets: ~30–35 ml/kg/day water, plus a light electrolyte mix during long fasts, hot days, or workouts.

Weight loss can include muscle loss unless you protect it. A practical daily protein target is ~1.6–2.2 g per kg body weight (or discuss a personalized goal with your clinician). Distribute protein across meals to stay full and recover better from workouts.

Easy wins: eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fish, lean meats, tofu/tempeh, beans + grains.

2–3 short sessions per week (20–30 min) of full-body strength training helps maintain muscle, bones, and metabolism. Use RPE (perceived effort): last 2 reps should feel challenging but doable.

Starter plan: squats or sit-to-stands, push-ups (wall/knee), rows/bands, hip hinges, carries. Add a walk or gentle cardio for recovery and mood.

GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, which can slow the “whole line.” To help:

• drink regularly and walk daily,
• prioritize fiber from plants (and/or a gentle supplement),
• limit big, greasy meals and large late-night snacks.

If constipation or reflux persists, pause dose escalation and talk to your clinician about options.

GLP-1s improve glucose after meals, but checks help you:

• spot low blood sugar if combined with insulin or sulfonylureas,
• see which meals spike you most,
• confirm progress as appetite and weight change.

If you do get lows (shaky, sweaty, foggy), follow the 15-15 rule: ~15 g fast carbs, recheck in 15 min.

When to check: before breakfast, 2 hours after meals, or any time you feel “off.”

What You’ll Be Able To Do

• Plan your GLP-1 routine — schedule injections and titration steps with gentle pacing tips.
• Stay on track — set reminders for doses, fasting windows, hydration and movement.
• Track what matters — note appetite, side-effects, weight and simple wins over time.
• Keep your data local — designed to work without a cloud account.

Why People Use OurGLP1

• Clarity when starting or adjusting a dose.
• Consistency with lightweight reminders that fit your routine.
• Confidence from practical tips on meals, fluids, and training.
