On a GLP-1 medication, by injection or by mouth? Switch the protocol on and Loopa aims the rest of the app at it: a protein target that leads, calories as a number to reach, a week planned around your own strongest and roughest days, a lean-mass protection score, a dose log with a body map, symptoms by days since your dose, and a summary written to be read by your prescriber. It gives no medication advice.
Premium · Everything you record stays yours
It never suggests a dose, a timing or a lab window, and every medication screen carries the same line: questions about your medication belong with your prescriber. Loopa records what you report and reflects it back. What it adds is everything around the medication (the food, the training, the sleep, the symptoms and the record) and, once your logs have a shape, a week planned around it.
Tell Loopa you are on a GLP-1 medication, by injection or by mouth, and which day you dose. The name is text you type, encrypted with your own key; Loopa keeps no list of compounds and describes none. Switching it on changes what the rest of the app asks of you.
Premium
After three complete dose cycles with daily check-ins, Loopa places every day by how many days it fell after a dose and averages what you logged there: energy, mood, sleep, symptoms and the sessions you finished. From that it names your own strongest days and your own roughest, in your own numbers (a line of the shape “your logs show days 2 and 3 after a dose are your strongest”) and says “still learning” until it has enough to say anything. It describes what you logged and never explains it. A protocol dosed every day has no cycle to learn, and runs from the check-in instead.
Then the week is built around it. Heavy sessions and protein-dense days land on your strongest days, mobility on your roughest, and the evening before a dose day is a prep day: fluids up, easy protein-forward meals planned, no new PR attempts. Dose days are calendar markers, and Loopa never moves one. A program of your own keeps its days and is only labeled; heavy days cap at three a week. Before the pattern is ready, the week runs from today’s check-in and last night’s sleep. And on a low day (energy at 2 or under, or a symptom at 4 or over) Loopa offers a 10 to 15 minute session instead: full body, upper, lower or mobility, each with a no-equipment version. It keeps your streak and counts in full.

Weight lost on a GLP-1 medication is not only fat. Look and colleagues report in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (2025), from the SURMOUNT-1 body-composition analysis, that of the body weight lost, approximately 75% was fat mass and 25% was lean mass, in the treated group and the placebo group alike. So the protein ring comes first on the GLP-1 screen, and your calorie number becomes a floor: something to reach, not a ceiling to stay under.
The target sits inside a sourced range, and the app shows the source under the number. Morton and colleagues found in British Journal of Sports Medicine (2018) that protein beyond total intakes of 1.62 g/kg a day brought no further resistance-training gains in fat-free mass, and Hector and Phillips put recommended intakes during weight loss in athletes at 1.6 to 2.4 g/kg a day in International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (2018). Training leans toward resistance work for the same reason: the ACSM position stand by Donnelly and colleagues in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2009) says resistance training does not enhance weight loss but may increase fat-free mass and the loss of fat mass. The target is yours to set, anywhere from 1.2 to 6 g per kilogram, and the default sits inside the sourced range with its source under the number.
PremiumWeight lost on a GLP-1 medication is not only fat. Look and colleagues report in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (2025), from the SURMOUNT-1 body-composition analysis, that approximately 25% of the weight lost was lean mass. So each week Loopa scores what is in your own hands, from 0 to 100: the days you reached your protein goal (45% of the score), your resistance sessions against three a week (35%), and the direction of your lean-mass estimate over four weeks (20%), counted once two body-composition points exist. One line says what moved it, and seven weeks of history sit underneath. It is about protecting your own training results, it says nothing about your medication, and every input shows its source in the app.
The protein input follows what protein does during weight loss: Hector and Phillips put recommended intakes during weight loss in athletes at 1.6 to 2.4 g/kg a day in International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (2018), and Morton and colleagues found in British Journal of Sports Medicine (2018) that protein beyond total intakes of about 1.62 g/kg a day brought no further resistance-training gains in fat-free mass. The resistance input rests on the ACSM position stand by Donnelly and colleagues in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2009): resistance training does not enhance weight loss but may increase fat-free mass and the loss of fat mass. The score starts after two weeks of both food logs and completed sessions, and a short session on a low day counts.
Premium
After midday, with the protein goal still open, Loopa offers three small protein-forward options sized to what is left (from the foods you already eat first, then from the catalog) each inside 250 calories, or 150 on a day you logged a symptom at 3 or above. One tap logs one. Your dietary preferences are respected, and a food your own symptom-food patterns have flagged is left out and named, so you can see why it is missing.
Premium
The Wegovy prescribing information, section 6.1 on DailyMed (2025), lists constipation among the most common adverse reactions in its trials, alongside nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Loopa does not tell you what to do about a label. It puts two goals on the screen that go together: the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (2024) says adults should get 22 to 34 grams of fiber a day, depending on age and sex, and should drink plenty of liquids to help the fiber work better. Fiber counts up from the food you already logged, and water from the taps you already make.
PremiumLogging a dose is one tap from the protocol screen, from the quick-log fan or from the reminder itself, and for an injection it asks which site on a body map: four quadrants of the abdomen, either thigh, either upper arm. Open Sites and you get a 90-day heat map of how often each point was used and when. The Zepbound Instructions for Use on DailyMed (2025) tell people to change the injection site within the area they choose for each dose, to reduce the risk of skin changes where the injections go. The map shows what you have actually been doing; what to do about it is between you and your prescriber.
Reminders come the day before, an hour before and on the day, each its own switch, and a reminder names the protocol and the tier, never the compound, because a lock screen is read by whoever is looking at it. Supply tracking tells you how many doses are left and when you are close to running out, counting the doses you logged rather than a calendar’s guess. Add your refill date and your pharmacy’s lead time and the supply card gives you a reorder-by date, with a reminder on the day; it is on unless you switch it off.
Premium
Nausea, constipation, fatigue, food aversion, heartburn, or anything else in your own words, with a severity from one to five and a note if you want one. The pattern view groups the last 90 days by how many days after a dose each entry happened, day 0 through 7 or more, with the count and the average severity in each. It describes what you logged and stops there. It does not interpret, it does not conclude, and it does not suggest anything about the medication. It is a picture to take to your appointment.
Beside it, Loopa counts the foods you logged in the three hours before a symptom, by food and by category, and shows a pattern only once it has appeared five times and in at least half of that symptom’s entries: “Heartburn logged within 3 hours of fried foods, 6 of 8 times.” Counts, never a cause. And any symptom can carry a question in your own words for your next appointment; Loopa never writes one for you.
Premium
Energy, mood, sleep quality and motivation, once a day, one to five. The GLP-1 screen shows a 14-day average for each and the line it makes, so a rough week is a shape you can see rather than a feeling you half remember. Skipping a day is fine; nothing is required and nothing scolds you for a gap. A check-in can carry a question in your own words for your next appointment, and on a GLP-1 protocol there is one more slider, covered next.
Premium
On a GLP-1 protocol, and in the Off-Ramp, the daily check-in carries one more slider: food noise, one to five, for how much room food took up in your thoughts that day. Its trend sits on the GLP-1 screen beside energy, mood, sleep and motivation, and every Off-Ramp week shows its own average, so a quiet stretch or a loud one is a line you can see and a number you can take to your appointment. It is your own rating, recorded and reflected back.
Premium
Pick a window of up to 400 days and Loopa lays out what you logged: doses and their sites, the symptom pattern, the wellbeing trend, your labs exactly as you entered them, and your weight and body-composition trend, as a PDF or a spreadsheet. It is a record of what you reported and makes no recommendation about your medication. It is built when you ask and handed straight to you; no copy is kept, and the fact that you made one is written into your own access record.
Your questions come first. A question you attached to a symptom, a check-in or a lab is listed in order on the summary’s first page, in your own words, so the appointment opens with what you wanted to ask. And between appointments, Progress keeps the record the scale does not: strength records, measurements, your energy and sleep trend, streaks and the lean-mass history. When your weight’s seven-day average has held within about one percent for three weeks, Loopa leads with that ledger.
Premium
The Off-Ramp is for people thinking about life after a GLP-1 medication, or already in it. It is a behavior program and not a medication plan: it says nothing about doses, timing or when to stop, and that decision is one you make with your prescriber. Why it exists: Wilding and colleagues report in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (2022) that one year after withdrawal of once-weekly semaglutide and lifestyle intervention, participants in the STEP 1 trial extension had regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss.
It runs week by week, each with a theme, something to read, a few check-in questions and your food-noise average for the week, built around the habits the evidence supports. Eating rate, because Robinson and colleagues found in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2014) that a slower eating rate was associated with lower energy intake than a faster one. Protein and resistance training, as above. And time, because Lally and colleagues found in European Journal of Social Psychology (2010) that the median time for a new habit to reach 95% of its plateau was 66 days, with a range from 18 to 254.
Premium
It records what you report and reflects it back. Every medication screen in the app carries the same line: questions about your medication belong with your prescriber.
Nothing in Loopa tells you to start, stop, skip or change anything, when to take it, or which tests to ask for. A reminder fires on the schedule you set. A lab nudge says only that it has been a while. Dose days on the week plan are calendar markers, and never move.
The estimated level chart is drawn from the doses you logged and a published half-life, in percent of its own peak, labeled as an estimate, with no annotations. The two calculators convert what you typed and carry no defaults.
Nothing to browse, nothing that describes what anything does, and nothing that checks a name against a dosing reference. Every name in your protocol is text you typed, encrypted with your own key.
The symptom pattern, the food patterns, the week plan, the lean-mass score, the wellbeing trend and the prescriber summary describe what you recorded and stop there. They do not conclude, they never say why, and they make no recommendation about your medication.
What people ask before they switch the protocol on.
No. Loopa gives no medication advice. It never suggests a dose, a timing or a lab window, and nothing in it tells you to start, stop, skip or change anything. It records what you report and reflects it back, and every medication screen says the same thing: questions about your medication belong with your prescriber.
Medication protocols are part of Loopa Premium, all of it: setting a protocol up and naming what is in it, the dashboard and goal targets, the dose log with the body map, reminders and supply, the calculators and the estimated level chart, symptoms, the wellbeing check-in, labs, the trends, your pattern, your week, the lean-mass protection score, the protein-gap options, the summary for your prescriber and the Off-Ramp. Everything you record stays yours.
Because weight lost on a GLP-1 medication is not only fat. Look and colleagues report in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (2025) that in the SURMOUNT-1 body-composition analysis approximately 75% of the weight lost was fat mass and 25% was lean mass. Loopa puts protein first and treats calories as a number to reach rather than a number to stay under, and shows you the source under each target. It is a food and training setting, not a medication one.
No, and that is deliberate. Loopa carries no list of compounds, nothing that describes what anything does, and nothing that checks a name against a dosing reference. The name in your protocol is text you typed, encrypted with your own key. The only compound knowledge it holds is a small, cited table of published elimination half-lives, used to draw the estimated level chart where a name matches one and to say so where it does not.
Only if you switch GLP-1 support on for them, and it starts off. Switched on, it shows your coach three things: the symptom pattern as counts, which days of the week your doses fall on, and your 14-day wellbeing averages. Once you confirm the updated sharing list, it can also place your dose days as markers on the calendar your coach sees and label your strongest and roughest days, two words with nothing behind them. It never shows the compound name, any amount, any lab value, a note, your supply figures or your calculator results.
A week-by-week behavior program for people thinking about life after a GLP-1 medication, or already in it. It exists because Wilding and colleagues report in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (2022) that one year after withdrawal of once-weekly semaglutide and lifestyle intervention, participants in the STEP 1 trial extension had regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss. It is about eating rate, protein, training and time. It says nothing about doses, timing or when to stop; that decision is yours and your prescriber’s.
That Loopa does not yet have enough of your own logs to say anything. The pattern needs three complete dose cycles with daily check-ins before it names your strongest and roughest days, and each days-since-dose group needs three check-ins before it scores. Until then the screen says so, and the week runs from today’s check-in and last night’s sleep. A protocol dosed every day has no cycle to learn and stays on that path. Nothing is guessed to fill the gap.
No. Dose days on the week plan are calendar markers, taken from the schedule you set and the doses you logged, and Loopa never moves one, suggests one or adds one. It plans training, meals and rest around them; the days themselves are yours and your prescriber’s.
A weekly number from 0 to 100 built from three things you control: the days you reached your protein goal, your resistance sessions against three a week, and the direction of your lean-mass estimate over four weeks once two body-composition points exist. It starts after two weeks of both food logs and completed sessions, carries one line saying what moved it, and keeps seven weeks of history. It is about your own training results, each input shows its source, and it says nothing about your medication.
