Lean Mass Preservation on GLP-1s
Clarification that the '40% lean mass loss' stat is a DXA artifact; real concern is appetite suppression reducing protein intake. Meta-analysis shows ~25% lean mass loss on GLP-1s. Protein targets 1.2-1.6 g/kg and resistance training are non-negotiable. Today's reading included a practical egg protein tip and a protein-maxxing critique, further reinforcing protein targets. No new paradigm shifts.
