• EP 179 Built to Last: Preserving Muscle Through Bariatric Surgery and Weight Loss Meds

  Did you know that huge, rapid weight loss whether from bariatric surgery, weight loss meds or a hybrid of the two can result in a 20-25% loss of muscle mass? Did you catch that? 20-25% loss of muscle mass! Yes, they’re all the rage right now….weight loss medications also known as obesity meds and GLP-1 medications. As medical professionals, we tend to use the term obesity medications. Why? Because obesity truly is a disease and these meds treat more than just weight with positive effects on diabetes, blood fats, blood pressure, food noise, cravings and more. Studies are finding that the use of these medications, when appropriate, in combination with bariatric surgery can result in even more long term, weight loss success. But what about this loss of your muscle mass along with the weight? How does the loss of muscle mass affect your success long term and even your health? What do you need to know right now to preserve or increase your muscle mass so you enjoy great success? Bariatric sports dieititian Kim Tirapelle joins me to answer these questions and more.

How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Did you know that a good night’s sleep of seven or more hours can affect your weight now and weight regain down the track? Sleep is like nutrition for your brain. Let me explain.If you’re what’s called a short sleeper, you’re averaging 5 hours or less a night. Being a short sleeper is tied to being hungry and gaining weight. Totally the opposite of what happens when you sleep 7 or more hours a night.Sleep improves what’s dietitians call food restraint. This means that when you’re adequately rested, you tend to have more control over what you choose to eat and when you choose to eat it. This is the opposite of what happens when you’re stressed and tired and when eating the door off the refrigerator looks like a good option. Know what I mean? The decisions you make about what to eat, when you’re sleep deprived, are not your best ones. Think about it…do you notice it to be true for you? You’re tired and you’re hungry and you tend to crave carbs.Find out many more benefits of sleep to prevent weight gain and what you can do this week to make a difference. Listen to the podcast now.
