GLP-1 and muscle loss: the protein and lifting strategy that prevents it

GLP-1 therapy can reduce lean mass if intake and training are neglected. Medication lowers appetite, but it does not protect muscle by default. This guide outlines the minimum protein and resistance-training structure used to preserve lean tissue during active loss.[1][2]

GLP-1 can accelerate lean-mass loss without a protection plan.

Protein floor plus progressive resistance training is the core defense.

Monitor strength and recovery, not just body weight.
