Book Review: Your GLP-1 Game Plan by Heidi Skolnik

Solid And Comprehensive Reference. If you're even remotely considering using GLP-1s, this is the best, most complete reference guide I've yet found. It covers damn near every facet of what you need to know, from the science to the social to the psychological... but also the extremely practical, including discussions about how to make sure you're making the sustainable life choices to hopefully avoid the problems so many have when they eventually stop using these drugs - up to and including meal plans (as loathe as Skolnik is to include them), recipes, and even workout plans and tips. Including at least one workout tip I didn't previously know and really need to begin implementing soon.

Yes, hi, I'm Jeff, and I started the year at 341 lbs before starting GLP-1s (Zepbound for the first month, Wegovy after) a little over six months ago... and as of the moment I type this review (*before* my near-daily nearly 4 mile March For My Health), I am currently at 249.8 lbs after being at 327 lbs the day I took my first Zepbound shot. I've gone from straining 3x tshirts and XXL gym shorts (and having to buy sandals 2 sizes both longer and wider than I currently wear!) to now having 2x tshirts and Large gym shorts getting ever more loose on my body. Thus, no idea why I might have been interested in a book like this - and fully intend to buy it as an actual reference guide myself, because the aforementioned plans and recipes seem like they'll be *that* useful to me personally. Thus, I'm not just a reviewer - I'm soon to be a client. ;) (And if you're old enough to get that reference, pop your preferred pain reliever and make sure you schedule both your colonoscopy and the relevant genital checkups for you. ;) )

Overall one of the most practically useful books I've come across in 2026 certainly, and seemingly in several years now - though admittedly this will only be for certain people. (Though the overall exercise/ nutrition tips and plans can work more broadly than *just* those currently taking GLP-1s.)

Very much recommended.
