💪 GLP-1s & Muscle Loss: What You Need to Know
💊If you’re using GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) to support weight loss, listen up — not all the weight you lose is fat. Unfortunately, muscle loss can be a side effect too. But here’s the good news: it can be prevented! 🙌
✅ Prioritize Protein
Because your appetite is reduced, it’s crucial to make every bite count. A high-protein, nutrient-dense diet helps preserve lean muscle. Don’t forget about plant-based protein options, too — they’re powerful and packed with benefits!
🏋️♀️ Build, Don’t Just Burn
Incorporate resistance training (think weightlifting or bodyweight workouts) into your weekly routine. This type of exercise signals your body to hold onto that hard-earned muscle.
🧠 Prevention = Power
Muscle is your metabolism's best friend. The earlier you take steps to protect it, the better your long-term success — and health — will be.
Remember: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Let’s lose fat, not muscle. 💥
