Want to share my personal experience related to The 30g protein per meal myth since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 289 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 16 months later: I am down 64 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The The 30g protein per aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to The 30g protein per meal myth — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 205 → 105 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Want to share my personal experience related to The 30g protein per meal myth since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 261 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 71 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The The 30g protein per aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Dr.NateNeph — that is really helpful context on The 30g protein per meal. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
