HOW DOES SHIFT ASSIST HELP WITH MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY?
Shift Assist was purposefully developed to aid clients using GLP-1 medications like semaglutides in
achieving fat loss rather than lean mass reduction during their weight loss journey.
WHY DO I NEED A COACH IF I AM ALREADY LOSING WEIGHT WITH
SEMAGLUTIDES?
Having a coach is crucial even if you’re experiencing weight loss with semaglutides. Currently,
individuals taking semaglutides may encounter a loss of up to 40% lean mass, which is essential for
weight maintenance once you achieve your goal and transition to maintenance.
Working with an Ideal Weigh coach can help to:
Preserve lean mass and lose FAT
Help increase intake of optimal vitamins and minerals
Monitor progress and look beyond the bathroom scale
Help navigate and alleviate symptoms
HOW OFTEN WILL I MEET WITH MY COACH?
We offer both weekly and monthly meeting options based on your support requirements. Additionally,
we provide flexibility in choosing between an all-whole foods program or utilizing Shift meals to
simplify your weight loss journey.
HOW WILL I KNOW I AM LOSING FAT AND NOT LEAN MASS?
During your weekly or monthly consultations with your Ideal Weigh weight loss coach, you will
undergo a professional body composition analysis. This analysis offers insight into your specific
weight loss composition, distinguishing between fat and lean mass. Essentially, it provides a
comprehensive view beyond just the numbers on a bathroom scale. If any loss of lean mass is
detected, your coach will collaborate with you to adjust your meal plan, ensuring the preservation of
lean muscle mass while facilitating fat burning.
DO I NEED TO EAT THE SHIFT ASSIST MEALS?
Your coach will tailor a whole foods plan according to your body composition to support fat loss
while preserving lean mass. Given that some clients using semaglutides may encounter challenges
in consuming adequate protein or experience nausea and gastrointestinal issues, incorporating Shift
Assist meals can be beneficial but is not mandatory. These meals contain 15-20+ grams of protein
and offer a convenient option, especially when appetite for larger meals is diminished.
