- [Alcohol on a GLP-1: what the labels say, what the research found, and what changes per medication](https://itsmalai.com/blog/alcohol-on-a-glp-1): We read all four prescribing documents end to end — 645,000 characters. Not one contains advice about drinking. Here is what they do say that bears on it, and why the honest answer depends on what your medication is licensed to treat.
- [Sulfur burps on a GLP-1: what the labels count, what they don't, and the one lever with a number behind it](https://itsmalai.com/blog/sulfur-burps-on-a-glp-1): All four prescribing documents count belching, each at a different rate. Not one mentions a smell. That gap is where the confusion about sulfur burps lives — and where the only intervention with a measured effect size contradicts the usual advice.
- [How much protein do you need on a GLP-1? What the clinical trials actually show](https://itsmalai.com/blog/how-much-protein-glp1-research): The 'up to 40%' muscle-loss number gets repeated everywhere, but the real research shows a much wider range — 15% to 60% depending on the study. Here's what actually predicts where you land, with the trial data.
- [How to protect muscle while losing weight on GLP-1s: a 4-week protein protocol](https://itsmalai.com/blog/protect-muscle-on-glp1): Lean tissue is 15% to 60% of the weight lost on a GLP-1, depending on the study. This 4-week protein protocol — adapted to your medication, dose and titration phase — gives you the daily targets, meal templates and progress checks that protect strength while you lose fat.
