Did I miss a study in the article? There's a bit about general muscle mass loss, a study about bariatric bypass surgery, and then some generic advice to take protein.
This looks a bit like a supplement ad.
- bloaf 3y agoI agree, there was a recent funded-by-diet-shake-company study which found that current US recommendations for protein intake we're too low. It would not surprise me at all if the makers of things like Ensure are scared of weight loss drugs and are trying to find a way to stay relevant.
- mhd 3y agoWhy would they be scared, would the people who take them take less supplements than before? I see this more as an opportunity? "Hey, this new drug is all great, but focus your reduced caloric intake on the proper macros, brozempic!"
- red-iron-pine 3y agothe weight loss industry is huge in the US, and a reasonably fool-proof pill that works is a deadly threat to their profits.
