The Ozempic Trend

Your body is always in a state of rebuilding. It is constantly breaking down and building up muscle. The goal is to build more than you break down, or at least stay balanced.

Here is the problem. Many people on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or any diet that cuts calories too hard are losing muscle because they are not eating enough protein or lifting weights.

The medication is not the issue. The plan is. A poorly designed diet without resistance training and adequate protein can cause 25 to 40 percent of the weight lost to come from muscle.

If you are on a GLP-1 or any weight loss program, protect your muscles with strength training and a protein-first approach. That is what keeps your metabolism strong and your results lasting.
