The idea that people on GLP-1s shouldn't be trying to preserve (or indeed build) as much muscle mass as they can is absurd. It is more important than ever to perform resistance training and make sure you are getting adequate protein.
But this isn't anything special about GLP-1s - the same is true for any sort of rapid weight loss approach, be it diet, GLP-1, lap band, whatever.
And we see improved cardiovascular outcomes independent of weight loss for people on GLP-1 drugs in widespread clinical trials, vs. one mechanistic in vitro study showing loss of heart muscle cells.
