Why muscle matters on GLP-1 medicines

Losing weight quickly can mean losing some muscle along with fat. Regular strength training and enough protein are the two habits most often recommended to protect it. Short, consistent sessions you can actually keep up beat ambitious plans you skip. Talk to your prescriber about what is right for you.
