OrderlyMeds has released a new guide on maintaining nutrition during a medical weight loss program.
-- OrderlyMeds has published a guide on maintaining nutrition during a medically supervised weight loss program, especially if it involves GLP-1 therapy. The resource was written based on guidance from Kristin Kirkpatrick, a nationally recognized registered dietitian affiliated with OrderlyMeds.

GLP-1 medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone in the body, which reduces appetite by inducing and prolonging feelings of satiety. While traditionally prescribed for type 2 diabetes management, these medications are now used in medical weight loss programs like the ones OrderlyMeds offers. Experts with the company believe that they are a powerful and effective tool for reducing weight, but because of how they function, users often find themselves with fewer opportunities to consume the nutrients they require; for this reason, dietary adjustments are often necessary for patients undergoing GLP-1 therapy.
“GLP-1s change your relationship with food. People think, ‘I can have a bag of gummy bears and still lose weight.’ But you need to get your nutritional bang for every buck,” explains Kirkpatrick. “Every bite counts, so aim for protein, fiber, antioxidants, and whole foods that fuel you, not just fill you.”
While protein consumption is especially important for individuals on GLP-1 medications, Kirkpatrick notes that a common misconception among patients is that they require a higher proportion of protein compared to other nutrients. Rather than over-consuming proteins, she says that 1.1 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is ideal for someone undergoing GLP-1 therapy. This can be achieved with small adjustments at every meal; for example, the individual can add Greek yogurt to breakfast, have a scoop of protein powder in a smoothie, eat grilled chicken or tofu salad for lunch, and have salmon or legumes for dinner—this will provide enough protein to meet the needs of a person who weighs 200 lbs.
Kirkpatrick adds that although the Internet is saturated with nutrition advice, not all of it is backed by scientific evidence; she advises consumers to cross-check any information they find with verified sources before attempting anything during their weight loss programs.
For individuals who are currently enrolled in OrderlyMeds’ weight loss programs, Kirkpatrick offers nutrition guidance through webinars and personalized meal plans. More information is available at https://orderlymeds.com/
