One out of ten Americans is on a GLP-1, and that number keeps growing. These drugs work, but there’s a catch: muscle loss. The guys explain that GLP-1s don’t cause muscle loss. Eating far fewer calories does. Then they give you 5 steps to keep your muscle: eat high protein, take essential amino acids, take creatine, lift weights the right way, and don’t let your fats get too low. Adam also shares what he learned from his own GLP-1 experiment.
