When using GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide for weight loss, prioritizing high-protein meals is essential to maintain muscle mass and prevent becoming 'skinny fat.' The video demonstrates a practical approach by showing protein-rich meals including turkey bacon (6g protein per slice), eggs, chicken tenders, and yogurt-based snacks. The creator emphasizes that while GLP-1 medications help reduce food cravings and increase satiety, they should be viewed as a tool to support healthy eating habits rather than a magic solution, requiring continued mindfulness about nutrition and portion control.

GLP-1 Week 18 | What I Eat in a Day + High Protein MealsAdded:
We are out here and I just got to show y'all. We're going to start off this video immediately with a body check because I am feeling so good.
>> Let's just get into it.
with a baby.
>> Bodysuit is actually from Fablettics.
Can we get into the back detail? Y'all, who is this girl?
Look at this line. Who is she? It's me.
It's me. It's me. It's me. It's me. When I put this on today, let me tell y'all, I was like, twin wear. Twins wear. Twins wear at school. They're at school. They're at school. I have also been drinking this C4. I'm about halfway in and I'm feeling it now. Mr. Krabs, we're about to lift.
But this video is a what I eat in a day.
So, it's all the things that I ingest that I take in, eat, drink, all the things while on a GLP1. And today is Thursday, which means it's shot day as well. I've had water and I've had this C4, which is strawberry watermelon ice.
It is very tasty. So, so far I've had my vitamins like my medicine, calcium supplement, water, and the C4. That's it. I don't normally like to eat uh and this is before GOP1. This is just me as a person. I don't like to eat before working out.
It's not my thing. Uh not for not trying to do like any fasted thing. It's just I just don't like it. Um but I will eat after this. So, I'm going to do a quick upper body workout and we going to get into get into the first >> meal.
In the hood, but I'm right here in the hood. Posting with [ __ ] that's up to no good. Pulling up magic. Pulling up outside of magic. [ __ ] know I'm from keeping that [ __ ] in my jacket. I'm with the boys in the hood right now. I'm feeling like Angela looking like Jessica. They know that I'm a classy.
Money is under the matrix. Wonder what I sent over.
>> I'm about to make some breakfast croissants. I have been obsessed with these and I look like craving them. Um, so we're going to make them. I found I really like the like the guer cheese. I don't even know how to say that, child.
This cheese right here. And some people do it with ham, but I'm going to do it with turkey bacon. These turkey bacons have one slice has six g of protein in it.
So, we're going to add maybe one or two per little sandwich. And then also adding eggs, egg whites inside. Okay.
So, we get some some protein in there.
Okay. So, this should be super simple.
Um easy to like take on the go breakfast.
This is my decision.
This is my decision.
I don't think you listen.
I don't think you listen.
to receive.
Give me something.
I don't need nothing. You are my All right, y'all. This is what we owe my head. This is what we are looking like.
I did open up. Open peel. Peel two cuties. I have my water here, which I'm almost done with. And I have, like I showed y'all, the butter croissant with eggs, egg whites, um, turkey, bacon, and, um, some cheese.
I did put it in the oven at the end to just kind of melt everything together.
Mhm.
This is everything I wanted. It is so good.
I did put, like I said, two slices of bacon. So, 12 grams of protein from that and then the eggs. So, this is good. I would probably with more time would do um like a little side of yogurt with if instead of this, a little side of yogurt with like blueberries or strawberries or something for even more protein. But this is this is fire. Must try.
>> Y'all, it's a little later. I got another thing of water.
>> Shot o'clock. It's shot o'clock.
I'm about halfway done with my second water.
Um, and I Mark put some chicken tenders in the air fryer for me cuz I'm going to make like a chicken tender like a chicken what is it? like salad for lunch cuz I'm um hungry but like I don't want to eat if that makes sense. Does that make sense?
I don't know. I don't know. This is shot number 19. This is week 19 of being on precept. I will tell y'all. Okay, so this is this may be TMI, but we're just keeping it real here. Okay, last week, no week 17 I was supposed to go up. Now, I don't know exactly my so like 4 milliliters, but I look at the units. That's how I track mine. So, I'm I was supposed to go up to like 60. I can't even remember what it was. I went up, baby. I had no side effects until then. So, that specific week. And I absolutely not. TMI, TMI, TMI. It it was it was bad, y'all. It was It was bad as far as going to the bathroom. I was like, "Oh, no, baby." And so I talked to my doctor immediately and I was like, "Is this supposed to happen?" And she was like, "Oh, well, some people get those side effects." And you know, some people will will take it because like they're losing weight, like it's water weight. And I'm like, "Oh, no, baby.
It's not that deep. It is not that deep.
I do not need to lose the weight that that bad where I have to be getting up in the middle of the night going to the bathroom." Uh-uh. So, I cut that down quick and I said, "I'm dropping back down." And she said, "Okay, that's fine." So, I'm back down to 45 cuz there was no way, baby. Uh-uh.
>> I will say I forgot to weigh myself this morning, but when I did weigh, I was last week uh 30 lbs down exactly. Did you know that I'm 30 lb down exactly?
Jump on my arm, >> boy.
>> Jump on my arms.
>> What y'all do? Ready? Don't drop me.
One, two, out.
Anyways, so >> and you better keep it in there.
Oh. So, anyways, 30 lbs down and we're we're feeling good besides going up from from last week cuz I was like, "Oh, no, baby. We we not doing that." So, I didn't feel any side effects besides the normal like a little bit of heartburn and stuff at the 45 that I was on. So, going up to that 65, that next level, that ain't for me cuz I'm already like losing like slowly still with that. So, like that's fine. I don't need to drop drastically or I'm not looking for that, you know. So, that's good there. But, like I said, my goal is like 185 190.
So, I mean, we hit that. We're at 19 uh 189 190 right now. So, right now, we're good. There's no reason to go up. We're chilling. Now, while that heats up and I make my little salad, I am going to have a lean body just for some extra protein because I have to prioritize my protein.
If you are on a GLP1, especially if you are not lifting, which you should be doing anyways because if not, you're you're going to you're going to be skinny fat. I'm just going to tell you. I'm going to keep it real. You're going to lose a lot of muscle and we don't want that. Okay? Because we don't want just the scale to go down, okay?
for that you could just do like detoxes and stuff. We're just losing water weight. No, we want to make sure that we maintain muscle and with um and by doing that we have to uh strength train and get our protein in. So, I'm going to have like a little chicken salad situation, but then I'm also going to come up with this 25 20 g of protein.
And this is uh the salted caramel flavor. And sometimes what I'll do with this in the morning is I will make my coffee. Hold on. Specifically, if I'm doing an iced coffee, I will make it with the Nest Cafe espresso, make the the shots of espresso, and then make an iced coffee and put this in and using it and use it like a creamer, okay? And be good to go. They have different flavors of this, like the pre-made protein drinks or whatever. I just like the salted caramel cuz it gives kind of like more iced coffee. So that's what I'm about to drink. Okay, I ain't going to hold you. This does look a little sad and pathetic because well, one, we don't have any croutons.
And then I just didn't feel like any cheese. Uh I don't know. So it looks like this. It's literally lettuce and chicken.
>> Sad thing is crazy.
>> Huh?
>> It's some cheese. Oh, you said you wanted cheese.
>> I didn't want cheese.
>> Oh.
>> And then I put on here um happen to get thy croutons.
>> I told you to get croutons. I got some basamic vinegarette. Now, this is a Skinny Girl brand, fat-ree, sugar-free.
I didn't get this. Mark's mom actually got this. Um, I would have just got a regular basamic, but you know what? I'm not mad at it. 5 calories per serving, which is 2 tablespoons. I'm pretty sure I did like a little more than that, but I'm not mad at it. It tastes really good. I mean, if you like balsamic vinegarette. So, that's what that looks like. And like I said, I have my lean body and my water. And that's that's lunch. All right, y'all. It is much later. I'm about to make myself some tea. My allergies are on another level.
Let me show you the tea that I'm drinking currently. Okay, so I just realized I ran out of the second one that I use, but I was using a peach tea and then like from the Yogi or whatever that one brand is called that has like the little sayings on it or whatever. I was using a lemon ginger one, but I guess I used all of it. But anyways, this is what we are doing. Just a cute little yogurt bowl. I'm not super hungry, so I did about a cup and a half of yogurt and then uh strawberries. this granola right here, which it says it has protein, but I mean, at the same time, it's still granola, so it's still very um carb heavy. Um, and then blueberries and strawberries, I think I said. And then this is the yogurt that I use right here. Um, normally I get the This is the non-fat one. Normally I do get the the sugar, not sugar. Yeah, it is zero sugar, but they didn't have it. But I do want to try the um I don't know the name of it, but if you've ever had the parfets from Chick-fil-A, their yogurt is like it's a very niche, very niche tasting yogurt.
And Baala told me that that is the same yogurt from there. But every time I go, it's sold out. So, I'm going to try and go back maybe sometime this week um to go see what what it's talking about.
hopefully or maybe I'll order it like for curbside or something because I want to try it so bad because I love the Chick-fil-A parfets, but I don't want to be going there all the time just for some yogurt, you know? So, yeah, I am in bed. I am about to get into, you know, look, first of all, this has nothing to do um with fitness, but I will say wellness. I got a new Bible, and she is so pretty. I love this Bible so much.
Um, this is the Every Woman's Bible and it's an NLT version and I'm about to do some Bible study, so that's why I brought that up. So, I did want to talk about not like side effects, but things that I'm feeling, I guess, um, being on the GOP one. So, this is week 18, like I said, and I feel like the main thing, like the fullness is insane to me. It's still so wild. Obviously, your body gets used to it, so your fullness gets it's it's a little bit different, but like the food noise is completely gone for me. Like sometime like at the beginning when I first started this, I had to like not set alarms, but be mindful of the time because I would not eat like at all and I would just forget because the food noise is like gone. And I say that from the point like the standpoint of I am a snacker true to my core. I love a good snack. I love a chip. I love a little sweet treat. I love a snack. Okay, a cookie, a a pastry, whatever. I love a snack. And since I've been on this, I do not snack. And when I do, I make sure I'm mindful of, excuse me, what it is that I am eating.
I think that's one of the things that people not go wrong on, but like kind of forget is like this is this is something to help you. It's an aid, okay? Just like supplements and stuff. Obviously, it's a little more extreme than a supplement, but you get what I'm saying.
It's it's not an end all. It's not a magic pill. It's not a magic solution.
It's you still have to be mindful because what are you going to do? Be on this for the your entire life. Like eventually when you get off, you have to take these things that you've learned and apply it, you know? So being mindful of your eating, what portions look like now, you know, that work for you, you know, stuff like that, like, you know, does that make sense? I will say another thing is confidence uh is is higher because I feel more comfortable in my skin. I didn't realize that 30 lb was I mean obviously that's a lot but I didn't realize what 30 lbs looked like off of me cuz I hadn't seen that in so long and I just feel so much better in my skin now. Um, obviously I still have some ways to go because like I said, I want to build muscle and things like that, but I just feel better. I feel better in the sense of like carrying this weight around where I'm at like 190. I feel better versus carrying around almost 220, you know, or two almost 230. Uh, that's wild to say.
Basically, to wrap all of this up, I feel that the biggest changes lately is just how balanced everything is starting to feel like as far as the meals, eating more higher protein meals, prioritizing my protein to be able to keep me fuller longer, and then also in turn not feeling like I'm being consumed by food all the time because like I said, that food noise was so strong for me, like really strong. And confidence-wise, I think I'm just starting to just be proud of myself for being consistent again in lifting, you know, because it's been such a struggle. And I think that also plays into like the girls being in daycare and stuff now where I'm able to really pour that time into myself, you know. But that is it for today's video, friend. I hope you enjoyed it. Um I know I know my food can get very boring and honestly that's what works for me. Uh when I am trying to cut it's always going to be boring. I feel like once I personally I'm not let me say take this with a grain of salt.
Whenever I try to cut if I start adding in tons of recipes and stuff like that I know it's not going to work for me because then I add in oils there's butters and that's where the calories add up. So for me it's always easier to just keep it simple you know. Now, there are people who can come out here and do tons of fancy recipes and stuff and make it look amazing and still lose weight. I just that's not my ministry. It's not.
So, it's always going to be a boring meal prep, basically. Either way, I hope you enjoyed today's video. I hope you're having a great day, night, whatever, whenever you are watching this. And I will see you in the next video, friend.
Love you. Bye.
