GLP-1s Can Help You Lose Weight—But They May Quietly Steal This, Too

​

More women than ever are turning to GLP-1 medications like semaglutide to lose weight. Research is beginning to show that they have other health benefits, too.
​

But research is also revealing a big red flag :
​

🚩 Up to 40% of the weight lost on semaglutide isn’t fat. It’s muscle.​
​

That includes the muscle that keeps your blood sugar stable. That includes the muscle that protects your bones. It also includes the muscle hat prevents frailty and fatigue as you age.
​

And the women most at risk for muscle loss?
👉 Women who are post-menopausal.
👉 Women who aren’t eating enough protein.
​

In other words… probably you, or someone you know.
​

​

Even in a recent study comparing semaglutide users with women on a structured diet-and-lifestyle plan, both groups lost lean mass—just as much as they lost fat. And for the women on semaglutide, those who lost the most muscle also saw less improvement in blood sugar levels.​
​
​

✨ TRY THIS
If you're using a GLP-1 (or even just aiming to lose weight), don’t let muscle be collateral damage.

• Prioritize protein—25–30g per meal is your baseline.
• Start resistance training twice a week. You don’t need a gym—just gravity and consistency.
• Track how you feel: strength, energy, stamina—not just the number on the scale.
