Hitting protein when you're barely hungry
Low appetite is the point of the medication, but it makes three big meals hard. Protein often falls short without anyone noticing.
For people on GLP-1 medication
Your medication takes care of the appetite. Make sure it's fat you lose.
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) can bring weight down quickly. When you're eating much less, part of what comes off is lean mass. Dyadfit works alongside your treatment, never instead of your prescriber's advice, to help you keep as much muscle as you can.
5.6 of 21.5 kg
lost by people on tirzepatide in the SURMOUNT-1 body-scan sub-study was lean mass, about a quarter of the total.
What makes it hard
The usual obstacles
Fast loss leaves little room for error
The quicker the scale moves, the more it matters that strength training and protein keep pace with it.
The scale can't tell fat from muscle
A number going down looks like progress either way. You need a second signal, like whether your strength is holding.
How Dyadfit helps
Your plan, in three habits
The same three habits for everyone, tuned to where you're starting from.
Protein in portions you can manage
A daily range sized to your body, split into 4 or 5 small portions on low-appetite days, with quick options that add 15 to 25 g.
Short strength sessions
About 30 minutes at home or in the gym. Loads only go up when your last session shows you're ready, and easy days are built in.
Muscle kept, or at risk
Your weight trend, strength and (if you have one) smart-scale trend combined into one answer, with the one thing to change next week.
Dyadfit never gives dosing or medication advice, and it doesn't replace your prescriber. Keep them in the loop about diet and exercise changes.

Does Ozempic Cause Muscle Loss? What the Body Scan Studies Show
Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) cause large weight loss, and some of that loss is lean mass. In body scan studies, lean mass made up about 38–40% of the weight lost on semaglutide and about 25% on tirzepatide. Lean mass includes muscle plus water, organs and connective tissue. Enough protein and regular strength training help you keep more muscle.

How Much Protein Should You Eat on a GLP-1 Medication?
A 2025 joint advisory on nutrition for GLP-1 therapy notes that protein targets of 1.2–1.6 g per kg of body weight a day have been proposed during active weight loss, with 80–120 g a day as a simpler alternative. If your BMI is 30 or above, basing the math on an adjusted body weight is more realistic. Spread protein across small meals when appetite is low.

What Happens When You Stop Ozempic or Mounjaro?
In the two largest trials that followed people after stopping, most regained a meaningful share of the weight they had lost. People who stopped semaglutide regained about two-thirds of their loss within a year, and people switched from tirzepatide to placebo regained weight while those who continued kept losing. The trials did not report what the regained weight was made of.

Questions
Common questions
Does Dyadfit work with Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound?
Yes. Dyadfit doesn't depend on which medication you take. It focuses on the parts you control: protein, strength training and a weekly check on whether you're keeping muscle.
Will Dyadfit tell me how to take my medication?
No. Dyadfit never gives dosing, titration or medication advice. Those decisions belong with your prescriber.
How much protein should I aim for on a GLP-1 medication?
A 2025 joint advisory from four US nutrition and obesity societies notes that targets of 1.2 to 1.6 g per kg of body weight a day have been proposed during active weight loss. Our free calculator works out a range for your body, adjusting the weight used if your BMI is 30 or more.
I feel sick after eating. Can I still hit my protein?
Often, yes, by eating smaller portions more often. The same 2025 advisory suggests a small breakfast and small meals every 3 to 4 hours. If nausea is stopping you from eating or drinking, talk to your prescriber.
