Weight Loss Drugs and Non-Fat Mass Loss
Recent pharmaceutical advances have led to the development of weight loss drugs based on natural hormones from the intestine. GLP-1-based drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide help people feel less hungry, resulting in weight loss. However, some of the weight lost is non-fat mass, including muscle and bone, which are essential for health. Maintaining muscle and bone mass through protein intake and physical activity is important while taking these drugs.
