Protect Nutrition and Function During Weight Loss
Make nourishment, strength, hydration, and function part of medication follow-up.
What to know
Reduced appetite can make adequate intake more difficult.
Rapid or substantial weight change can include loss of lean tissue.
Function, symptoms, and intake deserve monitoring alongside weight.
This week’s practice
Turn the lesson into one useful experiment.
- 1
Identify foods you can tolerate that provide meaningful nourishment.
- 2
Maintain an appropriate strength routine when cleared.
- 3

Questions to take into care
“Should I see a registered dietitian?”
“How will we monitor nutrition and function?”
Why this chapter matters
