GLP-1s changed my life!

Long-term GLP-1 framing is the realistic view - treating it like a chronic medication produces stable outcomes.

Protein plus resistance work on top of the medication is the combination that produces the best body composition results - the GLP-1 handles the deficit and appetite, the lifting determines what's preserved and what comes back. Doing just one without the other leaves significant outcomes on the table.

Protein plus resistance training is the message that needs to be in the starting conversation rather than as an afterthought - the medication's appetite effect reduces intake broadly, and muscle protection requires deliberately targeting protein rather than letting total intake fall wherever it lands.
