The First 90 Days on a GLP-1: Lose the Fat, Keep Your Muscle
Your GLP-1 will help you lose weight. This guide helps you make sure it's fat, not muscle.
In clinical trials, more than a third of the weight people lost on a GLP-1 was lean mass, including muscle. Losing muscle can leave you weaker, sorer and more likely to regain the weight. The good news: a few simple habits, done consistently, help protect it.
