[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's what a sudden and extreme caloric deficit will do. It's important to eat 1g protein per kg of body weight to prevent muscle loss when losing weight, but when you're inducing mild gastroparesis it's impossible to consume that much. [/quote]

No. Studies have already shown that people who use GLP1s lose a greater percentage of muscle weight than those who lose the same amount of weight without GLP1s. [/quote]
Right, but as PP suggested, it’s the rapid weight loss that is doing this. Those losing weight without glp1s are not losing weight that quickly. [/quote]

Not everyone loses weight rapidly on the meds. I'm the pp who's losing one to two pounds a week, which isn't rapid. I also haven't lost muscle and I don't have any loose skin, so I'm very happy with it.[/quote]

I'm another PP who has not lost weight rapidly. It took me a year to take off around 38 pounds. I have another 15-20 to go. I'm losing about half a pound a week now. I do have loose skin, even though I'm exercising a lot, but that's because I'm in my 60s and the skin doesn't just snap back at that age. My advice to anyone in their 50s and younger is to lose the weight before menopause. [/quote]
