00:00:00
One in 10 Americans have tried a gel P1
00:00:02
medication, which are these weight loss
00:00:04
drugs. I'm concerned we're going to see
00:00:07
a wave of people who've been on these
00:00:08
drugs who end up in a worse place than
00:00:10
where they started.
00:00:11
>> Have you thought much about the impact
00:00:12
of GLP1s, these sort of fat loss drugs,
00:00:15
during pregnancy?
00:00:16
>> Oh, wow. I don't think they're
00:00:18
recommended during pregnancy. I hope not
00:00:20
because they prevent you from feeling
00:00:23
your hunger hormones. They prevent you
00:00:25
from feeling hungry. So pregnancy would
00:00:27
be a very dangerous time to take these.
00:00:29
During pregnancy, you need to eat a
00:00:31
little bit more in terms of quantity and
00:00:33
calories, but also you need to eat
00:00:34
differently. So you need to learn about
00:00:36
the protein, the choline, the omega-3s,
00:00:38
and I think it'll be quite dangerous to
00:00:40
take a GLP1 during pregnancy. One in 10
00:00:42
Americans have tried a JLP1 medication,
00:00:45
which are these weight loss drugs. It's
00:00:47
crazy.
00:00:48
>> And I just want to do a little
00:00:50
announcement for anybody who's on these
00:00:52
medications. What's happening is that
00:00:54
you're losing weight, but you're also
00:00:56
losing a lot of muscle. So, these GLP-1
00:00:58
drugs don't say, "Okay, you're just
00:00:59
going to lose fat." You're just going to
00:01:00
lose weight from all of your tissues.
00:01:02
And then the studies show, the studies
00:01:04
from the drug manufacturers show that
00:01:06
when you stop taking them, you usually
00:01:08
gain all the weight back and you only
00:01:10
gain fat back. So, it's possible that
00:01:13
after taking the drugs, you're in a
00:01:14
worse body composition place than you
00:01:16
were before. So, how do we manage this?
00:01:19
If you are on one of these medication,
00:01:20
it's very important to eat lots of
00:01:22
protein. This is the only way you're
00:01:24
going to be able to preserve your muscle
00:01:25
mass. So, aim for about 100 grams of
00:01:28
protein per day. So, four chicken
00:01:30
breasts. This is super super important
00:01:32
because I'm concerned we're going to see
00:01:34
a wave of people who've been on these
00:01:36
drugs who end up in a worse place than
00:01:38
where they started if they don't have
00:01:40
the amount of protein required to not
00:01:42
lose all their muscle mass.
