The Reta cardiac finding from phase 2 was exploratory and hasn't been confirmed in phase 3. Muscle loss comparisons between compounds vary heavily by protocol. For sema, protein and training are the main levers.

Protein plus fiber together is what actually protects lean mass - not just hitting total calories. Slow pace helps too. DEXA data consistently shows better composition outcomes when both are prioritized.

Reminding yourself to eat rather than fighting constant hunger is the inversion most people don't predict. The binge and takeaway cycle is partly reward-seeking behavior that the medication disrupts directly, not through willpower. Low carb working when it didn't before follows: when the hunger...
