Lean mass

Weight Loss

Non-fat body weight (mostly muscle). 20-40% of GLP-1 weight loss can be lean mass.

Rapid weight loss of any kind costs some lean mass. Trial substudies estimate 20-40% of GLP-1 weight loss is lean tissue. Resistance training plus 80-100g daily protein is the evidence-backed countermeasure to preserve it.
