While the prospect of fast weight loss may seem appealing, it’s crucial to recognize the drawbacks of relying solely on pharmaceutical interventions for weight loss. Research has shown that Ozempic, GLP Agonists or other weight loss drugs, can lead to the loss of substantial lean muscle mass along with the fat mass. This might actually be doing more harm than good on the inside because our lean muscle mass is the organ that helps us keep our weight off long-term! 

In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, researchers found that individuals treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic, experienced a notable reduction in lean body mass compared to those who did not receive the medication. Lean body mass includes muscles, bones, organs, and other non-fat tissues in the body. Losing muscle mass can have detrimental effects on metabolism because muscles are metabolically active tissues that burn calories even when you’re at rest.

It’s important to note that while GLP-1 receptor agonists can be effective for weight loss, they may also cause muscle loss as a side effect. This highlights the importance of combining medication with Ideal Protein.

While Ozempic and GLP Agonists may offer initial weight loss benefits, they do not address the underlying behaviors and habits that contribute to weight gain in the first place. Without addressing these root causes, individuals may struggle to maintain their weight loss over time and may be at risk for regaining lost weight faster once they discontinue the medication.
