Finally, coaching that addresses the four things GLP-1 users need for lasting results.
The Three Problems GLP-1 Users Face
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are the most effective weight loss tools we’ve ever had. But most people are using them wrong—losing muscle instead of just fat, hitting plateaus after a few months, and not building the habits needed to keep the weight off.
The fix isn’t more medication. It’s what you do while you’re on it. That’s where coaching comes in.
Common Questions from GLP-1 Users
Does Fitmate prescribe or manage GLP-1 medications?
No. Fitmate provides lifestyle coaching—nutrition, habits, accountability. Your physician or prescribing provider manages your medication.
Fitmate complements medical treatment but doesn’t replace it. Your coach focuses on helping you hit protein and fiber targets, build sustainable habits, and prepare for long-term maintenance.
Can I use Fitmate if I'm on compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Yes. The coaching approach is the same regardless of whether your medication is brand-name or compounded.
Your coach helps you hit protein and fiber targets, build habits, and prepare for maintenance—whether you’re on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or a compounded version.
What if I'm already working with a dietitian through my GLP-1 provider?
Fitmate can complement that work by providing daily accountability and meal feedback between dietitian appointments.
Many GLP-1 users find monthly check-ins insufficient for building daily habits. Your Fitmate coach provides day-to-day support that fills the gap between appointments.
How long should I use coaching while on GLP-1 medication?
Most people benefit from coaching throughout the active weight loss phase and into maintenance.
The coaching relationship continues regardless of medication changes. The medication creates a 12-24 month window for habit-building—coaching helps you use that window intentionally.
What happens to coaching if I stop or reduce my medication?
The coaching continues. In fact, this is often when coaching matters most—when appetite returns and you need support maintaining habits without chemical help.
The people who build strong nutrition habits can reduce their dose because they don’t need as much appetite suppression. Your coach is there through the entire transition.
How much protein do I actually need on GLP-1 medication?
Target 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of body weight. For a 180-pound person, that’s 144-180 grams daily.
Most GLP-1 users are dramatically undereating protein—they might need 150 grams but they’re getting 60. This is the single most important factor for preserving muscle during weight loss.
How Fitmate Helps: The Four Things That Make Results Last
Daily Protein Accountability
Your coach reviews your meals daily and helps you hit protein targets—0.8 to 1 gram per pound of body weight. This is the single most important factor for preserving muscle during weight loss.
Building Tactics That Actually Work
Knowing you need 150 grams of protein is useless without a system. Your coach helps you build specific tactics: logging meals, eating protein first, creating go-to meals, and adapting your environment.
Supporting Resistance Training
Protein preserves muscle from the nutrition side. Resistance training preserves it from the activity side. Your coach helps you build exercise habits gradually—starting where you are, adding when you can.
Accountability That Outlasts the Medication
Someone is watching. Someone checks if you hit your protein. Someone notices when you slip. Someone helps you problem-solve when you hit a plateau. This continues regardless of medication changes.
“I have someone to talk to every day about this. We set goals together. I want to check off those marks every week. It’s not like she picks them—we work together to set the goals.”
