Stop GLP-1 Muscle Loss & Nausea: The 3 Kitchen Rules

Clinical Answer Capsule: Severe caloric deficits on GLP-1 medications frequently induce sarcopenic lean muscle wasting and intractable gastric nausea. Clinically mitigating both requires adhering to the 3 Kitchen Rules: enforcing a non-negotiable 100g leucine-anchored protein floor, balancing water-to-soluble-fiber intake at a strict 1:1 ratio, and substituting warm meals with cold, crisp textures to prevent gastric triggering.
