[quote=Anonymous][code][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you in Ozempic etc, how are you dealing with the muscle loss. I keep reading that the weight loss experienced by most people on these drugs includes much more muscle loss than other methods (with the exception of bariatric surgery). I don’t want to lose muscle and end up “skinny fat”.[/quote]

It’s fear mongering. All weight loss comes with varying amounts of muscle loss. You can’t lose just fat and no lean mass with a calorie deficit. You can preserve as much lean mass as possible with strength training and proper macronutrients.

If you restricted your calories enough to lose 1-3 pounds a week without Ozempic you’d lose just as much muscle. [/quote]

It’s all about the degree of muscle loss, PP. Studies are showing significantly more muscle loss with GLP1s than other methods.

That’s why people gain so much weight once they stop taking these meds. [/quote]

This is silly. I’ve lost 50lbs. It’s not muscle loss, it’s eating a lot less.

That said, OP, it’s still great but I definitely reached a place where it doesn’t control my appetite nearly as much, and I don’t have side effects nearly as much. What is that? Is it tolerance? Or metabolism? I think it’s metabolism, personally. I’ve always felt like the idea of “set points” rang true. So I just think they have a lot more to learn about who loses how much and why.

It’s a miracle drug though for me. My diabetes and obesity are in remission or whatever. I don’t know. My numbers look phenomenal and I feel amazing. [/quote]
