Why nutrition is critical with GLP-1 medications

Clinical studies show patients combining GLP-1 with structured protein nutrition lose on average 30% more weight. Protein is essential to:

Preserve muscle mass: without adequate protein, you lose muscle along with fat
Maintain energy levels: protein meal replacements ensure your essential nutrient intake
Reduce side effects: nausea and digestive discomfort are often reduced with good food choices

Generic semaglutide vs Ozempic vs Wegovy: comparison

Medication	Indication	Estimated monthly cost
Ozempic (brand)	Type 2 diabetes	~$300-450
Wegovy (brand)	Obesity	~$400-600
