GLP-1s eating your muscle?

[Mike2002]

Up 6% lean mass while dropping 42 lbs is a pretty remarkable result. That combination is exactly what most people worry will not happen.

DEXA before and after is the cleanest way to separate fat loss from muscle loss - very few people run that comparison.

The yearly DEXA cadence is the gold standard for answering the muscle loss question over a GLP-1 run. Bone density tracking alongside the composition data is the underrated benefit - people losing significant weight sometimes see bone density changes that the scale hides entirely. 150 lbs off over 4 years with the data to show what happened to lean mass is the kind of longitudinal picture most people don't have.
