It’s important to note: On the step trials( Ozempic, Wegovy) and the Surmount trials( Mounjaro, Zepbound) the control group lost 25 to 50 percent lean body mass while on the medication, resistance training at 150 minutes a week while decreasing caloric intake of 500 calories. These are the facts that no one is talking about.
Even with two and a half hours of weekly resistance training, they still lost 25 to 50% of fat-free mass? All of a sudden the DASH and Mediterranean diets both sound wonderful.
That’s was the control group study parameters. Whether the control group adhere to those parameters they study did not specify. It’s lean mass that also includes bone, organs and tissue not related to fat. Everone just focus fat loss which worries me, we don’t know what the long term effect will be with losing a lean mass at an alarming rate
That’s the way to go! Rapid weight loss diet on a traditional weight loss method yields 10 to 15 lean body mass. For some reason folks on these glp-1 agonist on a mega dose level lose significantly more and no one is willing to explain it.
I am on LDN at a tiny dose of 0.13mg for very extremely severe ME/ CFS, and have noticed similar effects, however, it has made me go from being completely bedridden, unable to tolerate any stimuli from sensory, movement, speaking, thinking etc., to near non-symptomatic, able to live a relatively normal life again.
My anecdotal experience has been that all of my strength numbers have stayed the same or gone up slightly. I cannot say for sure whether that correlates to me not losing any lean mass or not, I only know what the weight room tells me. Weight training is one of the few areas where I am an expert, so that might give me an advantage. One interesting thing is that I started doing grip strength training at the same time as starting glp1. It's something I have avoided my entire life, but my strength has increased by 13% even though I'm in my '50s. I think it's easy to make the argument that people that are more likely to need this drug, are going to be less likely to be well educated in weight training.
So true, you are also so sick from the side effect from being mega dose that you can’t intake nutrition properly to protect lean mass so it negates any resistance training that you try to do.
This is because most people who rely on GLP1s aren't lifting weights and are just starving themselves. Whereas others who lose weight usually do it partially with increased exercise.
@ the muscle loss in the face is unavoidable on a huge calorie deficit, even bodybuilders on large doses of roids will have their faces change when they cut down. theres norhing magical about GLPs that inductes facial muscle loss outside of the calorie deficit that they make easier to achieve

I'd rather give up fast food and work out more often.

Thank you for the Information!
Thank you for the great content
I love this channel!
The issue here is the fatigue the energy loss while on the injections you can’t physically workout not on the same level.
So true, you are also so sick from the side effect from being mega dose that you can’t intake nutrition properly to protect lean mass so it negates any resistance training that you try to do.
When it comes to weight loss there's no free lunch.
So to speak.
I still think the additional lean mass loss could be explained by how GLP-1s cause even undisciplined people to stick to a large energy deficit.
Scary side effects, just get outside and walk. Eat plants❤

@@sam8922 which weights should their face lift?
@@DenKulesteSomFins heh, their are actual face exercises, but they probably won't do much here.

So it doesn’t sound so bad then 🤷♂️
