291. The GLP-1 Side Effect Nobody Warns You About

You might think the win on a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Mounjaro is the
number dropping on your scale, but I need you to ask a better
question, not how much you're losing, but what kind. In some
studies, 40 to 60% of the weight people lost on these drugs came
from lean muscle, not fat, and that's a metabolic loss that costs
you your strength and your ability to keep the weight off. These
are the most powerful fat-loss tools we've ever had, but a tool
without a protocol is just potential. Hit your protein and lift, or
you're trading muscle for a number you'll spend years trying to
earn back. CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg
