I Was Losing Weight Every Week. So Why Did I Feel Weaker?

Posted by Sarah Kellner ✅

May 2026 • 2 Min Read

The first few weeks felt like a revelation.

 

Food noise? Gone. I stopped thinking about food constantly for the first time in my adult life. The scale moved every week. My clothes fit differently. I felt like I finally had the thing that was actually going to work.

 

Then around week six or seven, I noticed something.

 

I felt weaker. Not sick. Not tired exactly. Just... softer. Like something was leaving that wasn't supposed to.
 

I became obsessed with figuring out why.

I joined every group I could find. Read every thread.

Watched every video at midnight when I should have been sleeping. I needed to understand what was happening because the medication was clearly working but something still felt wrong.

Muscle loss. That's what it's called.

Up to 30-40% of the weight you lose on a GLP-1 can come from lean mass, not fat.

 

The medication suppresses your appetite but it has no idea what your body is burning. That part's on you.

 

The fix? Protein, protein, protein! At least 20–30 grams in a single sitting, a few times a day, to actually hold onto your muscle while the weight comes off.

 

And the problem nobody really talks about?

When you're on a GLP-1, you might eat one, little slice of pizza and be completely done. Full. Finished. That one slice has maybe 5 or 6 grams of protein and a bunch of carbs.

 

You're eating so little that unless every single bite is protein-dense, you end up nowhere near your target. The muscle quietly keeps disappearing even as the scale goes down.

 

I was hitting maybe 40-50 grams a day when I needed 80+ just to stop losing it.

I tried everything!

Protein shakes first. Fine for starting the day but that's about it. By afternoon or evening, thick and heavy is the last thing that sounds good when you've barely been hungry all day.

 

Greek yogurt. Good protein but I'd need five or six servings a day to get close to my target and I was barely finishing one.

 

Chicken breast at dinner. Here's something nobody warns you about: GLP-1 medications can change how protein tastes. Chicken started tasting off for me. Two bites and I was done.

 

Protein bars. Too dense, too sweet. I couldn't find one that didn't feel like a chore to get through.

 

I was stuck. Eating as much as I could. Getting nowhere near what my body needed.

Then someone in my group posted a photo that stopped my scroll.

A gorgeous, creamy pint of ice cream. The kind that looks almost too good to be real.

 

The caption said she'd been eating one every night.

Then came the numbers:
39 grams of protein. 330 calories when she used 2% Fairlife 😲.

 

I ordered that same night. It's so easy to make in my Creami.

The product was CRUSHS.

Mix two scoops with milk, freeze overnight, spin in your Creami. Nothing else.

 

It's made with a blend of super high quality milk proteins. No whey. No artificial sweeteners. No ingredients you need to Google. It tastes like real ice cream because the protein base is real dairy.

I make a different version almost every night

Espresso powder in the vanilla for coffee ice cream.

Peanut butter and sea salt when I want something that tastes kind of like a Ben and Jerry's.

The chocolate with almond butter drizzled on top.

Fresh strawberries mixed into the vanilla.

They have a whole page of mix-in ideas on the website. It stopped feeling like getting my protein in and started feeling like something I really look forward to every evening.

Eight weeks in and my protein is consistently hitting 80-90+ grams almost every day.

I can feel the tone coming back! The softness is going away! The scale is still moving and it finally feels like the right stuff is leaving this time.

 

If you're going to do this, do it right. That's what I kept telling myself back when I was reading everything I could find at midnight. Don't just lose weight. Protect what you're working so hard to keep. I'm sharing this because I wish someone had told me sooner.

Customers have been absolutely loving it. They've sold out a few times!

35g+ protein and it doesn't taste like a protein shake?? I'm shook. Been eating this every night and my recovery is on point.  —Anton C

I ate a whole pint every day and still lost weight. It's helped me lose 20 lbs in 8 weeks. —Kathy G.

Helps me meet my protein goals - love getting my protein this way." —Deborah M.

The Bottom Line

Your medication is doing the hard work. But it can't protect your muscle for you. That part needs protein, real protein, consistently, every day.

You don't need to force down shakes you don't want or eat chicken that tastes wrong. You need something that actually sounds good at the end of the day.

Two scoops. Milk. Freeze. Spin. Eat.

That's how you lose the weight and keep the muscle.
