Losing weight on GLP-1 is not the goal. Losing FAT is. ❌
Here’s what the scale won't tell you: When semaglutide or tirzepatide kills your appetite, the weight coming off isn't all fat. If you aren't careful, a lot of it is hard-earned muscle.
Muscle is the engine of your metabolism. Once it's gone, it is incredibly difficult to rebuild.
When you feel too full to eat, protein is usually the first thing that gets skipped. That is exactly backwards. Protein protects your muscle while the fat comes off, keeping your metabolism from stalling. The scale number matters far less than what that number is actually made of.
At my Miami practice, I put every patient on a personalized plan that pairs FDA-approved GLP-1 injections with a structured diet built for their appetite and goals. We make sure the weight you lose is the fat you want gone—not your muscle. 💪
