A high-protein diet (60-80 g/day or 1.5 g/kg/day) combined with strength training prevents loss of lean body mass and promotes satiety after endoscopic bariatric therapy.
Eat 60-80 grams of protein daily (or 1.5g per kg of body weight) to protect your muscles while you lose fat. This also helps you feel full longer. Combine this with strength training for best results.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
we recommend a higher intake of proteins 60–80 g/day or up to 1.5 g/kg/day to prevent lean body mass [11,26]. ... a high-protein diet promotes prolonged satiety and controls appetite by stimulating the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY [28,29].
Why this rating
Based on guidelines and cited RCTs, though direct EBT-specific RCTs for protein are limited.

- Adherence to a structured multidisciplinary follow-up program significantly increases the likelihood of achieving superior weight loss outcomes after endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs).Good
- Post-procedure dietary quality (low processed foods, high fiber/vegetables) is more critical for sustained weight loss than the specific macronutrient ratio (low-carb vs. low-fat).Good

- Total daily protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day is sufficient for maximizing resistance training-induced muscle gains, with an upper confidence interval of 2.2 g/kg/day.Strong
- Resistance exercise training combined with sufficient dietary protein intake acts synergistically to maximize skeletal muscle hypertrophy, with protein intake saturating around 1.6 g/kg/day for general populations and potentially requiring 2.0-2.2 g/kg/day for resistance-trained individuals.Strong
- Trans fats should be completely eliminated from the diet, as they increase LDL cholesterol, decrease HDL cholesterol, and are directly associated with increased coronary risk.Strong
