GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools for weight loss, but many users quickly discover a common challenge: getting enough protein while eating less. Because GLP-1s reduce appetite, meals are often smaller—making protein intake even more important. Most nutrition experts recommend 20–30 grams of protein per meal, or roughly 100 grams per day, to support muscle mass, metabolism, and steady weight loss.
This is where NorthStarDiet meal replacement shakes come in handy. Each shake provides 15 grams of high-quality protein for only 100 calories, making it easy to boost protein intake without feeling overly full or exceeding calorie goals. For GLP-1 users, this balance is critical—protein helps prevent muscle loss, improves satiety, and supports overall energy levels during weight loss.
Adding a NorthStarDiet shake between meals or alongside a small meal can help you reach your daily protein target without stress or complicated planning. With portion control built in, there’s no guesswork, measuring, or temptation to overeat.
Backed by over 25 years of experience helping people lose weight, NorthStarDiet understands the importance of simple, effective nutrition. Whether you’re just starting a GLP-1 medication or adjusting to long-term use, incorporating low-calorie, high-protein shakes can help you stay nourished, consistent, and successful on your weight loss journey.
