🔱 The Three Pillars of GLP-1 Use

I get a little offended when I see the amount of “GLP-1 abuse” going on right now.

I remember back when I was prepping for amateur bodybuilding shows. I was HUNGRY 🍽️

Trust me, for those of you who have never done something like that, you don’t know hunger until you’ve attempted to diet down to 4% body fat.

And let me tell you, I would have done anything for a GLP-1 peptide back then.

So when I see dummies taking them, WASTING their potential, and losing up to 40% of their body weight from muscle because they refuse to use it correctly…

What can I say? It’s a bit insulting.

But it’s not just me and my pursuit of elite athleticism that gets me annoyed by this.

It’s also because I’ve seen the struggles that the obese go through.

These are people that are suffering immensely.

Their hormones are dysregulated, their appetites are out of control, and their gut microbiomes are a mess.

Small wonder so few people could ever hope to dig themselves out of that hole.

And now that we FINALLY have a tool that can help them curb their appetites and understand their obesity…

And this tool is being squandered away.

I know I might be preaching to the choir here, and many of you might already know this….

But for those of you who are new around here, let me spell this out for you:

If you think you’re going to:

❌ Hop on Retatrutide 

❌ Do zero resistance training

❌ Change nothing about your diet and eat two pieces of pizza for dinner instead of 8 

You’re mistaken.

I mean, you can…

But you’re not going to be happy with the results.

👉 Now, this is something that Jay Campbell and I have covered extensively (check out the GLP-1 Video Masterclass if you want a complete, comprehensive guide for how to use these incredible agents successfully).

But for now, I will give you a quick and dirty guide.

I’m going to give you three things that I consider the “Three Pillars of GLP-1 Use”

If you’ve mastered these, congrats—you’ll get amazing results from them.

If not?

Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you 🤷‍♂️

📜 Rule #1: Eat Protein & Eat Insulin Controlled

Let’s start with the easy one and the one everyone should know - protein.

1 gram of protein per pound of target body weight.

That’s it.

We can argue all day long if a little more or a little less is better…

But at the end of the day, if you can wrap your mind around hitting that simple, easy-to-calculate number, you’re going to be golden 🏆

As for living insulin-controlled, this refers to planning and timing your intake of carbohydrates around training.

On days when you train, you eat carbs to fuel and refill your muscle glycogen.

And days when you don’t train, you minimize them.

Simply.

📜 Rule #2: Lift Weights & Do Cardiovascular Exercise

Bad news, friend…

If you want to get lean, you must put in some work.

The first one is pretty obvious.

You know, all those people whose bodies just seem to fall apart on Ozempic and who end up looking like a skinny, fat mess when it’s all said and done.

That could have EASILY been prevented simply by lifting weights a few times per week.

But cardio is almost as important.

It’s vital for circulatory health and will help speed up the fat-loss process, allowing you to eat more food (and ultimately take smaller GLP-1 doses) as you diet.

📜 Rule #3: Be Hormonally Optimized

This is the toughest one…but it’s also the most important.

I can’t think of one hormonally unoptimized person who got excellent results with these peptides.

On the contrary, almost every single individual who is using therapeutic hormones alongside their GLP-1 has had banging results. 😎

✅ Better appetite suppression

✅ Quicker fat loss

✅ More muscle preservation

The difference is night and day.
