I would definitely prefer not to be on any drug permanently, but many don't have any negative side effects from glp1 inhibitors. or at least they are very minor

I would definitely prefer not to be on any drug permanently, but many don't have any negative side effects from glp1 inhibitors. or at least they are very minor. As for loss of muscle mass, I think that is just as reactionary as the whole "ozempic face" thing. which is to say, of course your face looks different if you lose a lot of weight. and of course when you lose weight, you will always lose muscle mass as well. that's just part of losing weight. a good diet can help offset some, but you are going to need some amazing genetics or drugs to maintain muscle while only losing fat.
- nradov 3y agoLoss of lean muscle can be minimized while while maintaining a caloric deficit by keeping protein consumption high and doing frequent hard resistance training. This works for everyone, no amazing genetics required. https://peterattiamd.com/laynenorton2/ https://peterattiamd.com/laynenorton2/ You might want to try that for a few months before turning to a GLP-1 inhibitor.
