Stop Losing Muscle: A Smarter Approach to Weight Loss [LBKyaJPgE--]

For someone with overweight or obesity, losing weight can significantly improve health and longevity, but what matters even more is your body composition—the balance between fat and lean muscle mass. Body composition plays a critical role in metabolic health, directly influencing the risk for chronic diseases. With the rise in popularity of GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic, this crucial message is being overlooked. In fact, some experts now claim that losing 20-40% of your weight from muscle is "normal." Given muscle's vital role in metabolic health and longevity, we strongly disagree. A recent study highlights why a ketogenic diet may be a more favorable approach to weight loss, demonstrating impressive fat loss while preserving muscle. Even more impressive, the participants in this study lost visceral fat, a prime contributor to poor metabolic health.
