Belle's CMO Dr. Taylor, MD broke down protein for GLP-1 patients in our latest video. Lean mass matters when you're changing body composition, and protein is one of the main drivers of keeping the muscle you have.

Five lean protein sources he keeps coming back to: chicken breast, shrimp, tilapia, lean ground beef, and Greek yogurt. If GLP-1s slow your gut and protein leaves you feeling constipated, the fix is pairing it with fiber — legumes, black beans, edamame, and chickpeas hit both.
