Keeping the Muscle

Rapid weight loss does not distinguish carefully between fat and muscle, and the people losing fastest on the new medications discovered this in their own mirrors, grip strength, and stair climbs.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe defending muscle through a GLP-1 loss: protein targets that felt impossible on a suppressed appetite, lifting programs started at every age from twenty-five to seventy-eight, body-composition scans that told the real story beneath the scale, and the slow return of strength. Writers are frank about the ones who learned late — the gauntness, the fatigue, the loose weakness — and about what rebuilding required after the fact.

Who it's for

For anyone losing weight on these medications who intends to keep their strength, and for those repairing what the fast months took.
