GLP-1 and exercise

How to protect lean mass while you lose weight.

The lean mass risk

Aggressive weight loss without resistance training costs you muscle. GLP-1 outcomes are no different.

Minimum effective dose

2–3 resistance training sessions per week, prioritizing compound movements. You do not need a fancy program.

Protein floor

Aim for ~0.7 g protein per pound of target body weight. Easier on appetite than it sounds.
