Studies of rapid weight loss show that without enough protein and resistance exercise, roughly a quarter of the weight lost can be muscle rather than fat. That muscle is what keeps your metabolism up after treatment. The protection is close to free: hit a daily protein floor of 0.54g per lb (1.2g/kg). Get your number with the Wegovy protein calculator, and read how to prevent muscle loss on GLP-1s.
