Was there a study that showed people on GLP-1 drugs had proportionate loss in muscle mass in comparison to fat loss? That is what I worry about.

Any time you have a calorie deficit without high protein diet and resistance training you’ll lose muscle, not just with GLPs. GLPs just tend to cause a higher deficit.

I was a dumbass my first 5-6 months on GLPs and lost quite a bit of muscle and strength. But after getting to a more comfortable weight, I’m now in the gym 4-5x a week and re couping my losses. It’s coming back quickly so was definitely worth it for the weight loss I achieved.
