Do I have to count calories or points on a GLP-1?
No. Track two numbers only: protein and fiber.
No. We have done that dance, and it is not sustainable. No calories, no fat grams, no points.
We track two VIPs: protein, aiming for 60 to 100 grams, and fiber, aiming for about 25 grams. Hit those two and the rest of the science tends to take care of itself.
Write it down somewhere you will actually look. It does not have to be perfect. After a while you can step back and see exactly where the gaps are.
None of this is medical advice. It is educational material drawn from FAT BITCH: Killing the Willpower Myth by Cat Clark, and it does not replace your prescriber, your pharmacist, or your actual doctor. If something here does not match what your care team told you, go with your care team and bring this along to the conversation.
