On a GLP-1, exhausted, and losing the wrong tissue
A telehealth subscription mails the pen and stops there. Weight comes off fast, energy drops, and nobody has discussed protein, resistance training or body composition.
- Full intake and labs before anything is prescribed
- Dose held rather than escalated while side effects are brought under control
- A protein target per meal, and resistance training twice a week, treated as non-negotiable
- Monthly review of body composition — not just the number on the scale
What you keep depends on what you protect. Rapid loss also deflates the mid-face, which is flagged from month one rather than discovered in the mirror.
