[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The muscle loss on these drugs is brutal. That’s why the Ozempic face is so striking—weight loss plus muscle wasting. [/quote] It’s isn’t the drugs per se. Muscle loss is an issue any time you lose a significant amount of weight. I’m a late 40s woman and my body scan says my 60 pound loss has been 57 pounds of fat and about 3 pounds of muscle. I eat 100gs of protein a day about workout with a trainer targeting muscle gain 2x 60 minute sessions a week. These drugs are designed to be part of a weight loss plan. Reduced calories and nutrient dense food, plenty of protein and water, and strength training and cardio. My bariatrician and dietician see me monthly and track muscle mass closely because of my age and gender. I start losing large amounts of muscle, they stop prescribing the medication. But if I was doing my current 1200 calorie diet without the meds, I’d be at the same risk for muscle loss. [/quote]
