You are half correct, you can't tell your body not to burn muscle, but fat and muscle do not burn at the same rate. The rate changes based upon various conditions, one of those conditions is your diet. There is plenty of research that supports high protein diets helping to prevent muscle loss while in a calorie deficit.

@@personaltraining nope. once your body has burned thru the stored glycogen it will go to the fat stores AND the muscle. You’re not correct about various conditions. Any excess protein will be stored as fat ….. same thing with excess carbs and excess fats. Your body doesn’t differentiate which fat it burns. It will burn visceral fat as well all at the same time. It’s just the way the body works. Please don’t lie.

@@nwr7932 You seem to have some good foundational knowledge, and to expand upon that I encourage you to do further research into the influence that age, sex, stress, disease, and even nutrition can have on energy balance and metabolism. Thanks for your comments and visiting our channel.

I don't think that's for you to judge. I think that the individual gets to make that decision. If that is your choice for you, then no worries but don't try to put this onto other people.

Great question, and it really depends on how often you were working out before taking a GLP-1. You want to maintain or increase that program by a bit. So if you worked out 1 day per week, now do 2 days. If you worked out 3+ days per week, just stick with that and see how it goes or increase it by 1 day. If you never worked out, try 2 days to start and then maybe increase to 3 days after 2-3 months. We recommend a minimun of 2 days for most clients and our average client works out 3 days per week and is active walking or doing less intense active rest exercises most other days of the week. Always best to make sure you speak with your personal doctor, physio, or trainer for specific advice for you.

True, but that defeats the purpose of a ready made meal.

@@personaltraining You can microwave those small minute rice cups while cooking the meal

I like mine as well, barefoot time it good though and even better on a sailboat. Now if I can just convince my wife to live on a sailboat full time....

Thanks for the comment, I'm not a big fan of most of their sneakers to be fair. Some are fine but I would generally purchase my shoes elsewhere.

the massager is sold out in many stores!

Thanks!

They are pretty small but that is common when you look for a 500 calorie meal. But this is where I wish they used more food vs high calorie sauces which seems a waste at such a low budget of calories to utilize.

I have heard this now a few times. They are well worth $300-500 for a set including the insoles, but there is no reason for most people to have more than 1 set and at max 2 sets.

That's a great tip! Thanks!

I think the goal is to be Keto friendly, but it ruins it for those looking for a more balanced diet plan.

I would never say to not include fats as a part of a healthy diet, but again, these meals lack sufficient carbs quite often and have excess fats that are mostly just fatty oils in sauces, those are just not helpful fats.

I bet you are fun at parties...

Those are great tips! I am in full agreement.

$139 via their website as of today

Great point, I guess for me I found options at $30-40 a week that are almost as good and as I mentioned I felt these meals are too high in fats and oils vs utilizing those calories or more fibrous vegetables or grains.

@@personaltraining let me know where u found those options.. would definitely like to check them out

@@345power6 I plan to do a future video on them when I have time but Kroger and Publix had frozen meals that had great macros and nutrient profiles but don't taste quite as good that were close to $5/meal.

Sweetie good evening 🙏 my name is Susan from Pennsylvania and a long hauler from covid 19l.😢 years of pure hell❤2 eat,and you seem very knowable about meals, I can't cook anymore,from diseases i get it 🙏 no restrictions don't care about calories, etc is this da best steak potato, MAc. Cheese, like that? But prepared please ty

Maybe, but dietary cholesterol is not directly linked with high cholestorol in your bloodstream. Check with your doctor.

Thanks for the comment! I will look those up and try them out.

Thank you!

That's an amazing compliment, thanks!

Thanks for the comment! I agree with you that shipping the way they do adds to the expense. However, just to clarify and be fair to them, I don't think their meals are actually frozen. I think they are refrigerated which is a key difference in Factor vs grocery store options that I have found. However, for me I prefer the cheaper grocery store meals even if they are frozen due to the expense.

Agree and disagree... I think you fail to realize that a ton of people in the usa... Live I. A var dependent country for basic goods... Their are insane amounts of disabled people, old or physically, that have a hard hard time walking, let alone driving to the store.... Btw I don't use factor... I cook mostly... However, my fiance is disabled and can't really cook... Or single working men working remotely, probably not the time.... It's not perfect. However,based on the product, it is not a bad solution for individuals who can't cook or are too busy.

I agree 100%

Thanks @TiaNicoleLifestyle! We are happy you are finding success as well!

Agreed. The background music made it hard to hear anyone

Thank you!

I think the meals taste really good, just cost too much. As you say the discounted meals for week 1 are $80 for 6 but that's at a 50% discount...

What's up @AKATinyDude, I love your channel!

Right! Wish I knew, my editor just took it off of the suggested songs on Tiktok.

I appreciate the feedback, 100% we want to offer transparency and our honest opinion in each review. I liked the meals, but for the price I could have eaten out and the point of bringing my own meal is to not only have consistent macros but to also save money on the cost of my meal.

100%, great meals but cost is similar to eating out.

All of their rates are weekly so you likely ordered 26 meals for the week. Download the app and look at our purchases there as it has a better UI than on PC.

This is Matt from GoTherex, Giuliana's protein goal was 125 grams per day which was her goal weight. We recommend 1g / lb of your goal weight. She worked out 2-3 times per week and walks 8,000 plus steps daily.

Hi, this is Matt. Giuliana likes to prepare her own meals so we focused on macros and total calories. It was actually a challenge for her to eat enough while on Mounjaro to reach her protein and calorie goals, she usually ate less than her goal. When trying to retain muscle we recommend approximately 1g/lb of your goal weight or 0.8 grams per lb of your current weight as your daily goal. If you respond well to the medication it will be a huge challenge to eat that much but protein is a great stimulus for muscle retention.

@@personaltraining Thank you.

Thanks! Us too, we posted a few of these in shorts to get started.

Thanks, @lizz2024 you are 100% correct the mental benefits are huge! Going without cravings can pave the way to giving the opportunity to create new and better habits thus forming new neurological pathways for fulfilment.

Thanks for the response, yes MyFitnessPal is free but there is a paid version as well. Choose a good rice substitute that makes sense for you, I love cauliflower rice personally. Excited for you that you have already seem tremendous progress! Do you best to eat close to 100 grams of protein per day or more and try adding some resistance training, bodyweight or with weights and bands. The goal is to retain your muscle mass and burn fat. Without the protein and workouts, the body often burns too high of % of muscle.

Thanks for the feedback! We will look to improve our audio quality.

​@@personaltrainingI think you sound loud and clear especially when explaining how to maintain your muscle mass after you reach goal weight. And it was very informative I might add. No one has broken it down as clearly as you. Now I know what to do once I reach my goal so thank you.

Thank you for the compliment and feedback! @@mastinanagel380

I would go a little further and say no music in the background either. But great information. Thanks!!

@@Lovelyone1 Thanks! We upgraded out mic after this video, check out our Factor video for our new mic setup.

Thanks! We are doing our best based upon our experience to add to the internet dialogue.

Thanks TinyDude!

I am glad that you were able to find a good solution! Have an awesome day!
