🥗 Transform Your Diet with Peptides

How Peptides Support Your Diet

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in your body. When it comes to diet and weight management, specific peptides can dramatically improve your results by targeting the root causes of weight gain: excessive appetite, slow metabolism, and poor nutrient partitioning.

Diet Strategies with Peptides

🍽️ Intermittent Fasting + GLP-1 Agonists

Why it works: GLP-1 peptides make fasting effortless by eliminating hunger. Many users naturally fall into 16:8 or 18:6 fasting windows.

Protocol:

• Take semaglutide or tirzepatide weekly as prescribed
• Fast 16-18 hours daily (typically skip breakfast)
• Eat 2-3 meals in 6-8 hour window
• Focus on protein and vegetables to maximize satiety

Expected results: 2-3 lbs per week fat loss, minimal hunger, preserved muscle mass

🥩 High-Protein Diet + Metabolic Peptides

Why it works: Protein is the most satiating macronutrient. Combined with metabolic peptides, you maximize fat loss while building/maintaining muscle.

Protocol:

• Consume 1g protein per lb body weight daily
• Use AOD-9604 (300mcg) or 5-Amino-1MQ (50-100mg) daily
• Moderate carbs (100-150g), moderate fats (50-70g)
• Strength train 3-4x weekly to preserve muscle

Expected results: 1-2 lbs per week fat loss, muscle preservation or growth, improved body composition

🥗 Low-Carb/Keto + GLP-1 Agonists

Why it works: Low-carb diets naturally reduce appetite. GLP-1 peptides amplify this effect for powerful fat loss.

Protocol:

• Limit carbs to <50g daily (or <20g for strict keto)
• Use semaglutide or tirzepatide weekly
• High fat (60-70% calories), moderate protein (20-30%), low carb (<10%)
• Monitor ketones to ensure ketosis

Expected results: 2-4 lbs per week initially, 1-2 lbs weekly after adaptation, significant appetite suppression

🍎 Calorie Cycling + Metabolic Peptides

Why it works: Alternating high and low calorie days prevents metabolic adaptation while maintaining fat loss.

Protocol:

• High days: Maintenance calories (typically training days)
• Low days: 30-40% deficit (typically rest days)
• Use MOTS-c (10mg) 2-3x weekly to maintain metabolism
• Average weekly deficit of 20-25%

Expected results: 1-1.5 lbs per week fat loss, maintained energy levels, preserved metabolism

Nutrition Optimization with Peptides

🥚 Protein Timing

When using appetite-suppressing peptides, it's crucial to prioritize protein to prevent muscle loss:

• Breakfast: 30-40g protein within 1 hour of waking
• Post-workout: 30-50g protein within 2 hours of training
• Before bed: 20-30g slow-digesting protein (casein)
• Total daily: 0.8-1.2g per lb body weight

🥦 Micronutrient Focus

Reduced calorie intake means you need nutrient-dense foods:

• Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, arugula (vitamins A, C, K, folate)
• Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (fiber, vitamins)
• Colorful vegetables: Bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots (antioxidants)
• Lean proteins: Chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt (complete amino acids)
• Healthy fats: Avocado, nuts, olive oil (omega-3s, vitamin E)

💊 Supplementation

Consider these supplements when using diet peptides:

• Multivitamin: Cover micronutrient gaps from reduced food intake
• Omega-3s: Support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation
• Vitamin D: Often deficient, crucial for metabolism and mood
• Magnesium: Supports sleep, muscle function, metabolism
• Electrolytes: Especially important with GLP-1 agonists (can cause dehydration)
